"Over the last 10 years we have seen a significant increase in employment in manufacturing and correspondingly in utilization of robot systems. Economic growth is achieved through joint utilization of automation and hiring of more people. It is evident that economic growth is achieved through both automation and hiring." In the 2024 report of Robotics for a Better Tomorrow, a report produced and sponsored by institutions led by UC San Diego, the authors show a correlation between people and robots working together to drive productivity and growth.

Overclocking is making somewhat of a comeback with all the new hardware being launched. CUDIMMS are a big part of this hype (for now) and this article explains nicely how they make higher frequencies more stable. Worth a look.

I have a confession to make! Did you know #ThinkPad has moved to completely plastics free packaging as we embrace a transition to a circular economy of "reduce, reuse, recycle"? As part of our journey we pioneered innovative bamboo and sugarcane fiber packaging that is not only recyclable, but also rapid COMPOSTABLE where possible! Now here's the confession: when we launched these boxes, I had some fun testing the compostable part. I placed the boxes in my wife’s flower garden (I didn’t ask for permission, just forgiveness). Now, to be fair, I placed them on top of the ground, not mixed in to the soil, so I’m not aiming for rapid. I wanted to see what these looked like after one and then two years. The results look like a school science project — but they highlight Lenovo’s commitment to driving sustainable innovation into our industry! #Sustainability

Today, HP presents our 2023 Sustainable Impact Report. One of the actions we take is shifting toward circular design and creating products with repair and reuse in mind. We invest in reused, recycled, and sustainably harvested materials and develop innovative ways to repurpose waste materials. In 2023, we used 34,400 tonnes of postconsumer recycled content plastic in #HP products—equivalent to 18% of our overall plastic use. Our recovery, repair, reuse, and recycling services help keep our products in use for as long as possible and strive to recover materials at their highest value when products reach end of use. #HPproud for the progress we make.   #HPSustainableImpact
