Mini NASes marry NVMe to Intel's efficient chip

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-17 04:21:51

I'm in the process of rebuilding my homelab from the ground up, moving from a 24U full-size 4-post rack to a mini rack. One of the most difficult devices to downsize (especially economically) is a NAS. But as my needs have changed, I'm bucking the trend of all datahoarders and I need less storage than the 120 TB (80 TB usable) I currently have. It turns out, when you stop running an entire YouTube channel in your home (I'm in a studio now), you don't need more than a few terabytes, so my new c

I Loved Using This Keyboard, but There Was One Thing I Just Couldn't Get Used To

Gaming keyboards are everywhere these days, and with a plethora of options available it's not hard to find a good one.

Google is testing a smaller, more reachable Gemini overlay on tablets

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-18 20:26:50

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout. There are a lot of AI chatbots you can talk to these days, but I personally use Google Gemini on all my dev

After getting started on social channels, we’re now seeing the new icon hit the Gemini app. Google has also updated Gemini’s widget with a new look and shortcuts. Google’s branding is often pretty consistent — sometimes frustratingly so, like when you’re scrolling though the app drawer on a new Pixel phone and all these rainbow-colored icons start blending into each other.

Senate removes ban on state AI regulations from Trump's tax bill

Jarmo Piironen/Getty Images Until now, the Trump administration's tax bill -- also called its "big, beautiful bill," which passed in the Senate on Tuesday -- included a rule that would prevent states from enforcing their own AI legislation for five years, and would withhold up to $500 million in funding for AI infrastructure if states don't comply. On Tuesday, a day into a "vote-o-rama" that began Monday in an effort to pass Trump's tax bill before the July 4 holiday, the Senate voted 99 to on
