Huawei has unveiled its first desktop PCs running entirely on homegrown hardware and software, pairing a ten-core proprietary processor with its own HarmonyOS operating system. The company says every component was manufactured in China, a pointed statement about self-sufficiency as sanctions continue to reshape the global tech landscape.

Filmmakers and artists are showing up to the debate, and by most accounts they are not arriving with open arms. The tension between tools and craft is very much alive in that room.
And on the lighter side of the AI conversation, a developer named Iain Kay has published a script to GitHub that monitors your computer's RAM usage and emails Sam Altman directly if it dips below ninety percent utilization. It's a playful jab at the OpenAI chief, who recently called unused memory in home computers, quote, quite terrible. The internet, predictably, loved it.
