Steam Deck price rises point toward high prices for the new Valve hardware, Lenovo puts its name to a cheap retro handheld and regrets it, Wikipedia management seems to be acting like a typical big tech company and the workers are organising, Bambu pisses off its 3D printer customers and Joe got given a free unrelated 3D printer, and we don’t believe that the Raspberry Pi 6 will arrive as late as 2028.

Hybrid Cloud Show – Episode 57

It’s a Linux Dev Time style hot questions episode. Is “cloud native” more about where the workload is going or how you deploy it? What is a skill that is really important in your job that may surprise people? Is the cloud more or less secure than a company-controlled data centre or on-prem?  Would you recommend what you do to your kids/nephews etc?
