OpenAI is betting $20 billion on Cerebras to kill its Nvidia dependency. Is this the move that makes OpenAI untouchable, or is it a massive hardware hallucination? Sam Altman is officially tired of paying the NVIDIA tax. OpenAI just went all-in on a $20 billion deal with a chip startup called Cerebras. It isn’t just a significant order for some new servers; it’s a total strategic divorce. OpenAI is taking an equity stake in Cerebras and offering $1 billion merely to build the data centers for housing these things. They are trying to stop being a tenant in NVIDIA’s world…

DJI has unveiled the Osmo Pocket 4 with a familiar goal, better video from a camera small enough to carry anywhere. The standout upgrade is a 1-inch CMOS sensor, which should help it hold onto more detail in dim scenes while also giving fast-moving footage a cleaner look. DJI also says the Osmo Pocket 4 can shoot 4K video at up to 240fps, while adding 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit D-Log support. That gives solo shooters a stronger mix of slow motion, highlight control, and grading headroom without moving up to a much larger setup. The result is…

I love cutting-edge tech, but I hate hyperbole, so I find AI to be a real paradox. Somewhere in that whole mess of overnight influencers, disinformation and ludicrous claims is some real “gold” – AI stuff that’s genuinely useful and makes a meaningful difference. This blog post cuts straight to the good stuff, specifically how you can use AI with Have I Been Pwned to do some pretty cool things. I’ll be showing examples based on OpenClaw running on the Mac Mini in the hero shot, but they’re applicable to other agents that turn HIBP’s data into more insightful analysis.So,…

Bluesky is once again having a wobble. The platform said some of its systems are down and that it’s “investigating an incident with service in one of our reginos” (that’s Bluesky’s typo, not mine). The issue appears to have started at 1:42AM ET and was still persisting as of 11AM when this story was originally published. Since then, the site has been experiencing intermitent interuptions, including at times to its status page where users should be able to monitor outages.At 7:47PM ET, the platform explained that it’s been attempting to mitigate “a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout…

LegalZoom is one of those online legal services that in most cases can handle basic legal tasks for you. I recently tried it out to make an LLC for my cosmic country band, Steel Fringe (shameless plug), and it appears to have worked just fine (we’re still waiting on a full evaluation from legal experts for a future guide to these services). If you use a LegalZoom promo code right now, you will get a discount on the service.I found it super easy to set up my LLC, and after about $500 and 30 minutes of my time, I was…

Netflix plans to add vertical video feeds to its mobile app starting at the end of April, the company shared in its first-quarter letter to shareholders on Thursday. The streaming giant first began testing the feature in early 2025 as a way to enhance its recommendation function. “We are launching an updated mobile experience at the end of the month that includes a vertical video discovery feed,” the letter reads. “This redesign will better reflect our expanding entertainment offering and make it easier for members to engage how and when they want.”During a press preview event last year, Netflix executives explained…

Every data management alternative list covers the same ground: better governance, cleaner pipelines, smarter catalogs. This one covers those, then goes somewhere else entirely. The governance conversation is settled. Everyone agrees you need data catalogs, lineage tracking, access controls, quality pipelines, and compliance frameworks. The tools exist. The best practices are documented. If your organization is still arguing about whether to implement governance, that is a different problem, and this piece is not for you. This piece is for the organizations that have the governance layer and are asking what comes next. What does data management look like when the…
