Drop a few ESP32 boards ($3-8 each) flashed with ESPHome ’s Bluetooth Proxy firmware into rooms where BLE devices drop out. Home Assistant then routes Bluetooth traffic through the nearest proxy on its own. Each proxy adds about 10-15 meters of BLE coverage through interior walls, needs only a USB power cable, and works with HA’s native Bluetooth setup. The BLE devices themselves need no config changes. They have no idea they’re talking through a relay.

Anthropic ships claude-code-action , an official GitHub Action that runs the full Claude Code runtime inside your CI/CD pipeline. It reviews pull requests, builds features from issues when someone types @claude, writes tests, updates docs, and drafts release notes. It also respects your repo’s CLAUDE.md coding rules. The runtime runs on a GitHub Actions runner, with tool use, file reads, and multi-step reasoning.

It ships with four auth backends: Anthropic API, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry. It also has a sister claude-code-security-review action for vuln scans, native GitLab CI/CD support, and real deployments. Deriv runs it across 700+ repos, handling 100+ PRs per week. So this has moved past the demo stage. Teams now wire it into merge gates next to linters and test suites.

If you spend eight-plus hours a day in a terminal and an editor, the right pointing device counts as much as the right keyboard. The Logitech MX Vertical remains the default vertical pick. It has a 57-degree handshake angle, a 4000 DPI sensor, and solid Linux support via Solaar and logiops . For a thumb trackball, the Logitech MX Ergo S wins on tilt and 120-day battery life. The Kensington SlimBlade Pro leads the finger and palm trackball field with its 55mm billiard-grade ball and Bluetooth LE. For open-source fans, the Ploopy Classic 2 with QMK firmware ships as a fully user-fixable device. Linux sees it as a standard HID mouse with zero closed drivers.

Building a custom mechanical keyboard means assembling five core components: a PCB, a case, a plate, switches, and keycaps. The result is a board that types, sounds, and feels exactly the way you want. Budget $100 to $400 depending on materials, set aside three to six hours for a first build, and you’ll end up with a board no mass-produced model can match. This guide walks every decision from PCB choice to firmware flashing and final assembly.

The viral r/ChatGPT “my OpenClaw texted my ex” post reads like a joke, but the comments treat it as a warning sign. Keep OpenClaw’s iMessage, SMS, and contacts skills off your personal Mac. Wait until LTS ships and the founder’s “rough week” supply-chain fixes land. Scope write-access skills to a disposable VPS instead.

Key Takeaways

• The viral “texted my ex” post is a leading indicator, not just a meme.
• iMessage, SMS, and contacts are write-heavy skills that touch your real social graph.
• Forgetful agents plus unsupervised cron jobs turn wrong-recipient sends into expected behavior.
• Run write-heavy OpenClaw skills on a disposable VPS, not your personal Mac.
• Wait for the LTS release before treating OpenClaw as personal-machine infrastructure.

The viral OpenClaw meme is not just a meme

A screenshot of OpenClaw happily reporting that it had texted the OP’s ex hit 4.8K upvotes and 176 comments on r/ChatGPT in about three weeks. The top replies are jokes (“Of all the things that didn’t happen, this happened the didn’test”). The serious comments point at a real safety category that is forming in real time.

Screen sharing on Wayland fails because Wayland’s security model blocks apps from grabbing other windows or the full desktop. The fix has three layers. First, install the right XDG Desktop Portal backend for your compositor. Second, check that PipeWire is running as your media daemon. Third, set your browser or app to use the portal capture path, not the old X11 one. Once these align, screen sharing works in Zoom, Teams, Discord, and Google Meet on any major Wayland compositor .
