The manufactured image of "happy Uyghurs" whitewashes the Chinese government’s crimes against humanity in my homeland. I know it well - I was a victim and a tool of such propaganda years ago. @jleibold of La Trobe asked me about growing up Uyghur in China.

Motherboard manufacturers are facing a crisis in 2026 as PC builders delay or skip new system builds. A Digitimes report describes the situation as a collapse in the sector, worse than previous financial crises or the early COVID-19 period. Asus, the market leader, shipped 15 million motherboards in 2025 but only 5 million units in the first half of 2026. It is now targeting around 10 million for the full year, its lowest total in over a decade. MSI, Gigabyte, and ASRock are also projecting sharp declines, with some estimates showing drops of 25% to 30% or more compared to 2025 levels. The main reasons are higher prices for RAM and SSDs As a result, many builders are holding off on new rigs entirely. I expect a drop on the price so will be a good time to upgrade

A Chinese robot manufacturer has created machines meant for a "lifetime" of companionship that look ultra-realistic and can use AI to read your emotions. They cost upwards of $150,000 if you want every attachment and feature.

Thousands of manufacturers packed our booth and attended CEO @evanbeard's keynote last week at @AutomateShow, the largest automation trade show in North America. We heard over and over again how impressed they were with Standard Bots. Many even said we 'won' the show! The reason is simple: Today's robots are too hard to use, not capable enough, and nearly all manufactured overseas. Standard Bots is America's largest manufacturer of AI-native industrial robots, the essential power tool of the 21st century. We design almost all our own parts, including our own actuators, and we assemble every final product in-house. By 2027, we'll manufacture everything — from metal in to robots out — right here in America. 📸 Ian Storck
