              Danke für dieses Buch @ANosthoff ein langer und lohnenswerter Ritt durch die Geschichte der Informationslogik und des regelungstechnischen Denkens, das mit der "Universalwissenschaft" der Kybernetik einhergeht und Parallelverschiebungen von Geist und Rechnen bis in die Gegenwart vorantreibt.

              Unter "dataistischen Vorzeichen" führt die Reise von frühen "simulativen Pendants sozialer Rituale, Zeremonien und Praktiken" wie z.B. Cybersyn oder dem vom Kybernetes gesteuerten Staatsschiff das im Datenmeer treibt, über gegenwärtige algorithmisch orchestrierte Datenprofile und Entscheidungsarchitekturen, welche dem Effizienzstreben und optimierter Funktionalität Vorschub leisten, bis hin zu den technofaschistischen Tendenzen einzelner Tech-Entrepreneure. Dabei wird deutlich, wie tief kybernetische Denkfiguren heute in gesellschaftliche, politische und ökonomische Prozesse eingeschrieben sind und wie sehr sie Vorstellungen von Effizienz, Steuerbarkeit und Optimierung prägen.

              Besonders spannend ist dabei die Frage nach den "Leerstellen" dieses regelungstechnischen Weltbildes. Ähnlich wie Arthur Koestler in 'The Sleepwalkers' beschreibt, wie das Christentum zeitweise eine erkenntnisstheoretische Handbremse zog, stellt sich hier die Frage, ob die Kybernetik und ihre gegenwärtige Religionisierung in Gestalt der KI, nicht nur zur Bremse werden kann für alles, was im Abseits des regelungstechnischen Denkens steht und mitunter die Würze & Vielfalt des Daseins ist: das Unberechenbare, das Zufällige, das Nicht-Optimierbare.

                Powerful Hardware Turned into E-Waste

                What you're looking at is another unfortunate example of perfectly capable hardware becoming electronic waste long before its technical lifespan is over.

                This is the AirTies Air 4960, an AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 mesh extender/access point featuring impressive hardware:

                * Broadcom BCM6752 triple-core ARM Cortex-A7 SoC (up to 1.5 GHz)
                * Broadcom BCM43684 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio with 160 MHz channel support
                * Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
                * Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
                * Around 4.5 W power consumption

                From a technical perspective, this device is still more than capable of delivering excellent performance in many home and enterprise networking scenarios.

                - The Real Issue

                The hardware isn't obsolete, the software ecosystem is intentionally locked down.

                Many devices like this are heavily restricted by manufacturers or Internet Service Providers (ISPs), preventing owners from repurposing them once official support ends or the service contract expires.

                Meanwhile, open-source firmware projects such as OpenWrt, DD-WRT and Tomato have demonstrated for years that networking hardware can remain secure, functional, and useful far beyond its commercial lifecycle.

                Unfortunately, locked bootloaders, proprietary firmware, missing documentation, and closed-source drivers often make that impossible.

                Sustainability Is Also About Software Freedom

                We regularly discuss sustainability, circular economy, and reducing electronic waste.

                Yet perfectly functional networking equipment ends up in recycling bins, not because the hardware has failed, but because users are prevented from installing alternative software.

                * The hardware already exists.
                * The raw materials have already been mined.
                * The manufacturing energy has already been spent.

                In many cases, all that's missing is the freedom to install an alternative operating system.

                - A Better Approach

                I would like to see manufacturers embrace a more open ecosystem by providing:

                * Unlockable bootloaders
                * Public hardware documentation
                * Support or at least tolerance for open-source firmware
                * Longer software support lifecycles

                This would benefit users, enterprises, developers, the open-source community, and ultimately the environment.

                Not every retired device is obsolete, many are simply made obsolete through artificial restrictions.

                                                  Japanese technology supplier and distributor confirms that the Gigabyte graphics card will cost between 20% and 40% more due to a new price increase.

                                                    The Nuke Kernel now allocates available RAM and zero-fills allocated memory before powering off.

                                                    The goal has never been to add features for the sake of features. It's to make every session end as cleanly as possible while keeping the implementation simple and reliable.

                                                    Small changes. Big impact.

Esto representa un gran avance para la medicina moderna, pues, a diferencia de los experimentos con animales que se espera sustituyan por los (OoC), el uso de estos órganos en chips ofrece mayor eficacia para evaluar los efectos de nuevos fármacos en órganos específicos, mejorando así la investigación de enfermedades como la hepatitis y la neumonía. Es una tecnología increíble que combina tecnología y biomedicina.
