Originally, I was drafting this in September, planning on dedicating it to Windows 10 Home becoming EOL. I also figured I’d share a meme that contained something along the following: Instead, however, it’s early 2026, and I feel like a dedication to RAM prices would be a more fitting start: Memes aside, the lightweight …

So, I guess there goes 2025. I’m a bit late on the wrap up post, though as much as I’d like to blame a cold I’ve been dealing with for a while (lol I wrote that several days ago when drafting, and I’ve still just now gotten around to posting my finished draft), it’s mostly just laziness.

POV: You’re a professional dev watching me talk about vibe coding: Your browser does not support the video tag. I’m not exactly a stranger to using AI code, parts of nipy-bridge like the part that handles posts based on size was written by Chat GPT via Duck.AI, and I regularly use a Mixtral-Dolphin written bash script …

This is another one of my posts that’s effectively a few posts crammed together on related topics. Long story short, I started looking into handheld consoles a couple of months back, but in doing so picked up a handheld style controller for mobile instead.
