what do you guys do with laptops after a refresh?

were replacing bunch of older devices and the part im stuck on is what happens to the old ones. getting them back is one thing, but then theres checking them, storing them, and deciding where they go next, feels like the return process gets overlooked when planning refresh. dow do you guys handle it???

Business owner here

Our small business recently got hacked, 1 of my employee click a malware which resulted to some of our client files got deleted and messed up our system..so we reached out to a local IT MSP for help in Tampa (Will not mention their company name for safety) well evrything seemed fine, but after they found out I’m Chinese as they get my credit card details.. they suddenly turned us down. Like literally said “nope. deal with it.”Maybe I’m overthinking it?? but it honestly felt off. Has anyone else experienced subtle racism in business? Like.. we can pay for your services?!

Wrong canonical tags cost me 6 months of rankings — here's exactly what happened

During our last redesign the developer set up self-referencing canonicals but used the HTTP version of the URL on an HTTPS site. So every page was telling Google the authoritative version was the non-secure HTTP URL.

Google mostly ignored it and indexed the HTTPS versions anyway. But for about 80 pages in one section it listened and indexed the HTTP versions. Those 80 pages have been sitting in a redirect loop for six months without me knowing.

That section was our highest value commercial content. Traffic from it is down 65% from this time last year.

The fix is deployed. Canonicals are corrected. But I genuinely do not know how long the recovery takes.

Has anyone dealt with a canonical mistake at this scale? What timeline did you see before rankings came back?

City museum in St. Louis worth it if you’re not a kid?

Me and my cousins are thinking about going to city museum this summer when we’re in St. Louis. Everybody keeps hyping it up but I still can’t tell if it’s actually fun for adults or if it’s more of a kids thing.

The place looks crazy from the photos though. Slides everywhere, tunnels, rooftop stuff, random things to climb on. Doesn’t even look like a normal museum honestly.

Just wondering if it’s worth spending a few hours there or if the novelty wears off fast once you’re inside. Also debating if the rooftop pass is worth paying extra for.

Would love to hear from people who’ve been recently

Zai reworked the network topology behind their inference cluster and cut hardware costs by a third

Spent way too long comparing models on benchmarks and prompt tests. Then Zai put out a technical writeup about the network running their inference cluster and it changed how i think about pricing.

They swapped the GPU cluster network to something called ZCube. Same hardware, same model. Switch costs dropped a third, throughput went up 15%, first token latency came down 40%. No software changes.

Standard ROFT topology creates traffic jams when inference patterns are asymmetric, which is what happens with Prefill-Decode disaggregation. ZCube handles that at the architecture layer instead of patching around it. So the lower pricing isnt just VC money keeping api calls cheap, its actually cheaper to run.

Nobody compares models this way. Its always benchmarks and vibes. But if the infrastructure behind a model is bleeding money to stay cheap thats gonna change eventually. I'd rather build on something that can hold its pricing cause the hardware is efficient.

Using glm-5.1 alongside chatgpt for a while now. ChatGPT covers more ground but for anything where im running volume the cost difference is hard to walk away from.

Sea Life Arizona tickets for a family?

Taking my 3 kids to Sea Life Arizona this weekend and started looking at tickets last night. Didn’t expect it to be such a mess with all the different sites and prices.

Just trying to find the easiest place to book without overpaying. If anyone’s been recently with kids, where did you get your tickets from?

Retard de vol + bagage perdu en correspondance : grosse erreur de tout mélanger

Petit retour d’expérience parce que je me suis bien fait avoir là-dessus.

Vol avec correspondance, le premier en retard → j’ai couru comme un malade pour choper le 2e… j’ai eu l’avion, mais pas la valise évidemment.

Et là, erreur de débutant : j’ai tout mis dans la même réclamation (retard + bagage). Résultat, dossier bloqué pendant des semaines parce qu’ils “traitaient la perte de bagage”…

En creusant un peu, j’ai compris que c’est pas du tout les mêmes services qui gèrent ça chez les compagnies. Du coup maintenant je fais systématiquement 2 dossiers séparés :

  1. bagage → assurance de la carte (Visa Premier dans mon cas, plutôt efficace)
  2. retard de vol → indemnisation à part

Et honnêtement, pour la partie indemnisation, j’ai lâché l’affaire avec la compagnie après 2 mails sans réponse… je suis passé par AirHelp et au moins ça avance sans que j’aie à relancer tous les 3 jours.

Bref, si ça peut éviter à quelqu’un de perdre du temps : ne mélangez surtout pas les deux.

Last year I saw this documentary called Buy Now - The Shopping Conspiracy, since then I have been trying to be more intentional the purchase I make, and specifically moving away from 100% petroleum-based synthetics like polyester and look for alternative that lasts, so I can buy less. I used to rely on poly-blends because they were cheap (yes, guilty as charged), but I couldn't ignore the microplastic shedding and the fact that they always felt "suffocating" in humid weather. The worst part is because the price is so low, I end up getting more than what I need, and not giving the care that clothes deserve.

One of the ways to counter that is to look for eco-friendlier options like Everlane and definitely stay away from Fast Fashion. The issue with Everlane is that I feel like the quality hasn’t lived up to its brand. On a more positive note though, my latest discovery is this bio-based alternative, specifically wood-pulp viscose. It was a bit of a learning curve to understand the difference between a "synthetic" and a "semi-synthetic" like this. Unlike polyester, which is essentially plastic, this wood-pulp fabric is breathable and biodegradable. While it does contain a small amount of spandex to give it that necessary stretch and recovery, it is drastically better and with the proper washing care (just following the washing label and not throw everything into dryer), my shirts from OGL, this eco brand I found online, seem to last well over a year while keeping the shape and drape.

I’m curious if others have made the conscious effort when you all shop for clothes? Let’s face it, i love that dopamine rush when I add clothes in my shopping cart. I know, it fades quickly too. But what are your tricks to shopping more consciously?
