If that’s the dumbest thing then you’re doing quite well! I think I asked the same thing before.

Remember all the hacks we had to try to get an internet connection in hotel rooms??

Sometimes doing our own wiring. The Airport was an elegant solution tho…portable wired to WiFi access point so you could get your half dozen devices on the internet with one connection fee.

In Zurich for client meetings and even my rental car is jumping on the AI bandwagon… 😂🤓

Starlink is awesome. Finally inflight WiFi that actually works…and it’s free.

BREAKING: United just launched a Starlink tracker so you can check if your next flight has Starlink Wi-Fi and follow its rollout across the fleet.

With 635+ United aircraft already connected, finding Starlink in the sky just got easier.

New episode is out. Are robots coming for your job? The answer may surprise you.

[Softeq @Softeq]

@deogenai Amazing. Well done. I liked it.

Is every scene a prompt? How do you keep the woman model’s look consistent between all the shots? I saw it cost you $500 but how much time did you put into it?

Appreciate anything you can share. Thanks.

IBM hired musicians back in the 60’s when there was no such thing as computer science majors. Musicians already had an aptitude for reading an encoded sequence that was executed top down and one mistake ruins the “program”. But besides that, I’ve always felt that software was a very creative process and have noticed a high correlation with programmers who were also musicians.

I just registered for #CES2027 (it may even be my 27th time to go...time flies). I hope to see you there! https://t.co/T5IwrkMyoq

This was a fun conversation with Dan.

[Softeq @Softeq]

Our Founder & CEO, @techris sits down with Daniel Cummins of @Dell Technologies to explore what it takes to deploy physical AI at scale and keep pace with an industry where decades of innovation could unfold in a single year.

@zachcoelius Yikes. 😳

[Chris Howard @techris]

@tim_cook @elonmusk Well done, @tim_cook. Amazing work, really, navigating the initial transition and guiding the company forward. Hard to believe it’s been 15 years already tho. Kudos.

[Chris Howard @techris]

@zachcoelius That’s 100% correct. I bought a German company 10+ years ago to establish our European home base and that’s exactly what they did...we sat while they read the whole thing out loud. And there was no getting around it.

[Chris Howard @techris]

@jk_rowling @bindelj @SkyDalby37773 @beanschicken1 This defines it exactly for so many of us that feel 100% the same way. Well written (no surprise there). Thank you, JK, for continuing to be the voice of reason and advocating so strongly for both women and children.

[Chris Howard @techris]

@zachcoelius Looks awesome. Forgot you grew up in MN too. I designed a silk screen t-shirt with the Mosquito as the Minnesota State Bird. 🦟

[Chris Howard @techris]

@Softeq Let’s get physical! 😄

[Chris Howard @techris]

Today is National Dog Day, but next month is Physical AI month! Who let the (robo)dogs out? Who? Who?? @Softeq of course! 🤖

[Softeq @Softeq]

Next month we're going deep on Physical AI. What it is, how to build with it, and what it looks like in the real world. 

A lot coming. Stay tuned!

@zachcoelius So, recommended?
