Once again, we are seeing electronics pricing going up and lead times going out. The two greatest factors are data center demand and raw material input supply issues due to the war in Iran. The plastic housings, elastomers, and ... blog.jaredtabb.com/2026/10/01/once-…

Person in Scenario 1 is not lazy or stupid. Person in Scenario 2 is not smarter or harder working. Person 2 is going to be vastly more valuable. This is not a “Gen Z” thing. Question I’m left with: How do you foster initiative? www.tiktok.com/@littlearcsc...

Like the turn of the millennium, I think we’re in a bubble. Money is pouring in, chasing AGI. The bots are impressive, but the ROI does not meet the hype. I think we’re going to have an AI bust that will rival the Dot-com bust. Read more blog.jaredtabb.com/2025/09/16/m...

I'd be happy with that. I'll buy again the second year they do it. Once all the bugs are worked out.

I love it. When it's not in case it feels great. My dream for a foldable would be the size of a mini so maybe we'll get that but I have feeling it'll the size of a Max.

What all in one AI desktop app are you using? I want something that works with local LLMs (Llama, Qwen, Mistral, SD, Flux, etc on my networked Linux machine) and online (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude). I want to experiment, train, and keep some chats local. What are you using? #localLLM #opensource #ai

I reluctantly updated my iPhone Mini 12 because it’s running slow with new OS and constantly running out of memory. I thought the Air could be cool but it’s too many compromises. iPhone 17 is a boring update but (relatively) reasonable price for features.

I’d like to think it’s because I’m a halfway decent person but just being pragmatic, when you find good people you want them to not be constantly thinking about money and whether or not one ER visit is going to bankrupt them. That does not make for productive workers.

I really want to like the lightning. I actually need a full size pickup I pull an 8000lbs trailer for work about once a week. It cuts range in half. So from 270 to 135. Smaller EV batts + gas range extender like Dodge & Scout announced makes more sense. I’ll stick with my F150 hybrid for now.

It's pretty cheap to blast a million emails and SM posts and now you can have AI write it all for you. We're creating the digital Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We've got all this crap floating around making everyone's online life worse.​ Reach out yourself. Make human connections.

Don't feel too bad. I am a 40 year old college educated man who grew up 10 minutes from Tulsa's Black Wall Street and took Oklahoma History in high school. I too learned about it 6 years ago from a TV show.

I think personal and professional goal setting is like going to a college advisor. You start with a dream of what you want your life to be, they break it down into smaller goals, and then that drives your daily tasks and routines. blog.jaredtabb.com/2025/09/01/i...

I wonder if we could get a handful of billionaires with a conscious to only fund politicians who want to overturn citizens united, ban Congress from trading individual securities, and creating term limits. What a legacy that would be. Use your wealth to create more justice.

While it may be a drop in the bucket, I think I’m going to make as many positive comments on your profile as I can. I find it really disheartening the vitriol sent your way. I don’t agree with everything you say but that’s ok. We need other perspectives and there’s a LOT you say and do I do agree.

What do you find using AI for the most? I've been using it mostly in personal projects but am moving in the direction of using it purely in R&D work projects. Not current customer deliverables.

It's frustrating that there are Google Gemini features in the free public version that I don't have on my paid workspace account. I can't delete conversations and I can't adjust saved info. Grrr.

Where does everyone store photos these days? I currently have last 20 years of digital photos spread between a Google Photos, iCloud, IG/FB, and a very slow Synology NAS. I really want to plop them all in one place that's secure and private and quickly organizes them for me. #photography

I grew up 10 min from Black Wall Street and didn’t learn about Tulsa Race Riot until I was in my 30s. The interstate cuts right through that area and divides the black part of town and the white part of town. This is why we need to teach about systematic racism and have DEI research in the DOT.

I used LinkedIn successfully in what I think is a non-Lunatic way. I post frequently about my opinions of my industry and advocate for WFH. I frequently get customers and vendors bring up my posts, but it’s a very niche audience. I HATE LinkedIn, but it where my customers are. Fediverse catch up!
