Its one of those walled gardens with a broken car and an upside down shopping cart in it.

Don’t be fooled by the headline. Look at the long term trend. It is still high. Just a bump. Its the same price as July 2025.

OK, fair point. I was a bit naive. I was looking at it from an European standpoint. The nights are cool here and the houses are all made of bricks and very thick insulation. In those circumstances it is possible to trap the temperature. In my house the inside temperature is currently 22C/71F and outside 34C/93F. No AC needed.

So many people just turn on the AC without doing anything on preventing heat in the first place. Things you can do before the AC needs to help:

• open all windows in the morning when it is cool. Close them when it gets hotter. This traps the cool air inside.
• shade your windows (those overhang things on windows, tint film, curtains, plant a tree)
• stop using machines that produce heat (oven, vacuum cleaner, dryer, etc)

I find it weird how so many companies are targeting for layoffs instead of expanding the company. You get an accelerator…

Thanks! Good tips. I will save this comment for later reference.

Yeah exactly! Any recommendations?

I just bought 2x 8gb ddr3 for €25 so I can play games from 10+ years ago.

I did not know this. That really sucks.

I’m not a US teacher but Europe. University. A lot of teachers work in the field part time and part time teacher. We need to have a regulated outcome for our students. How we teach is up to the teacher. If I see that students can just get an A by using AI, then I’m not doing my job. So yeah, I’m not only expected to change how I teach, I’m required.

Regulate? Who is talking about regulating? I’m talking about teaching and the way we grade students. As a teacher myself I know that a lot of students (and people in the workforce) use AI. AI itself is just a tool. You can set it to full auto but that only leads to you being not needed anymore. What I teach my students is to use it responsible and that the AI is being used so it adds value to you. And not let it replace you.

In my opinion the AI is better at some tasks than humans are. Some tasks the human is better. Make yourself useful in the spot that AI is underperforming.

Edit: like some other comment was saying, “you can’t chatgpt through a whole semester”. And if you could, you are on the road of being replaced. If you can’t, congratulations. You learn something the machine can’t do.

Shouldn’t the education system change then? If it is easy to get an A with a machine, should we then not focus on learning something that can’t be done by a machine. I mean, it has value to know things and know what to do insituations where AI is not available.

I have an Odroid c2 as server with a chromecast (with Google TV) as viewer with Kodi. For videos it is stable. It can play 1080p x264 and x265.

The odroid c2 server runs DietPi (based on Debian).

For games I have no idea… If your interested in odroid, do not pick up the c2 but the successor the c4.
