From Brain Import Frontal Cortex

So we've gone from "cloud computing" to literally renting brain cells. Someone pitched "24/7 remote access to brain organoid" with a straight face and got funding. The best part? These lab-grown brains are marketed like a SaaS product—complete with technical support and data backup. Because nothing says "cutting-edge technology" like having to call customer service when your biological neural network crashes. The tweet's right though—wetware really is about to surpass hardware. We're literally one API call away from import brain becoming a legitimate Python library. Can't wait for the Stack Overflow questions: "Why is my brain organoid throwing a NullPointerException?" And yes, these things are a million times less powerful than a digital chip but last only 100 days. So basically, it's like renting a potato-powered server that expires faster than your GitHub Copilot trial. The future is weird, folks.

I Had To Guys I Had To

So someone installed an entire operating system on their car's infotainment system and the specs read like a Pentium II from 1998. Single-core processor, "random overclocks" (which is code for "it thermal throttles whenever it feels like it"), zero multitasking capability, and it literally crashes into sleep mode. The cat's expression says it all. That perfect mix of pride and "I know this is terrible but I regret nothing." Running a full desktop OS on hardware that can barely handle a calculator app is peak engineer energy. Your car now boots slower than it accelerates. The "orange car OS" is likely a reference to installing Linux (probably Ubuntu or some custom distro) on automotive hardware that was never meant to do anything more complex than display a backup camera. Godspeed to whoever has to wait 45 seconds for their AC controls to load.
