• Intel is laying of - apparently has already laid off - another 4000 staff.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  The cuts were supposed to mostly target middle managers, but an analysis found that just 8% of jobs cut had "manager" in the title, while technicians and engineers were heavily affected.

• Testing the Beelink Mate Mini - a storage and I/O expansion unit for the current Mac Mini.  (Serve the Home)
  
  The Mac Mini doesn't have a standard M.2 slot and isn't directly upgradeable.  The Mate Mini adds two M.2 slots and a high-speed Thunderbolt 5 connection.
  
  Basically it works fine and delivers 3GBps on each of the M.2 slots, which is plenty fast enough for most things.
  
  Also you can buy third-party storage upgrades for the current Mac Mini, but they require a second Mac to set up, because fuck you that's why.
  
  
  
• OpenAI was planning to acquire AI starting Windsurf for $3 billion on Friday.  And then it wasn't.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  The CEO and top researchers have been hired by Google instead, which is also paying $2.4 billion to license the company's technology.
  
  Nice work if you can get it.
