#blockfi down for " #schedule #maintenance ": https://blockfi.com/november-11-2022-blo.. They have already been #fined by the #sec previously: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/14/busin.. This is at a time where #crypto #exchanges are under serious #pressure due to #ftx https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/..
The new #framework #laptop seems like an amazingly cool #platform for #linux - offering a clear #upgrade path and #maintenance https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a.. Such a great project. I really hope it works out for them.

Very nice #dog #robot for $2700 being publicized over on #ieee https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robo.. A few problems I see though: 1. Zero serious use cases, 2. Very heavy at 12kg, 3.
