The Steam link is for gaming?

Is that why a lot of people still don’t use it?

Anthropic logged net loss of over $80 billion in first half of 2026, WSJ reports October 20, 2026 3:41 PM EDT Updated 51 mins ago

Oct 20 (Reuters) - Anthropic reported a net loss of more than $80 billion in the first half of the year and signaled it could spend as much as $750 billion in ​the coming years to secure more computing capacity, the Wall Street ‌Journal reported on Tuesday.

The loss, up from $13 billion a year earlier, was driven by $72 billion in accounting charges tied to changes in the value of financial instruments Anthropic issued to raise money, the ​report said, citing a draft prospectus for its IPO.

The figures show the hefty costs ​of the AI race even as investors look harder at whether the money ⁠companies are pouring into chips and data centers will pay off.

Anthropic’s revenue jumped ​to $16.3 billion in the six months ended June 30 from $1.1 billion a year ago, while AI ​infrastructure spending nearly quadrupled to almost $9 billion, the Journal said.

Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment and Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

ANTHROPIC’S IPO VALUATION UNDER SCRUTINY

Reuters reported first ​in September that Anthropic posted a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, as part of a ​series of exclusives from its IPO prospectus. The company has benefited from the popularity of Claude Code, ‌its ⁠coding assistant that developers use to write software and build apps.

But some current investors and prospective investors who attended Anthropic’s investor day last week are weighing a lower valuation for the AI company after its latest financial disclosures, four people familiar ​with the matter had ​told Reuters.

The investors ⁠who attended the event in San Francisco discussed a valuation of around $1.5 trillion, three of the people had said, a significant step ​down from the roughly $2 trillion valuation previously expected for the November share ​sale.

Anthropic told ⁠investors at the meeting that its third-quarter revenue jumped 45% to $16.8 billion from the previous quarter, and that it was profitable on an adjusted basis during the quarter.

A cooler reception ⁠for Anthropic’s ​IPO could weigh on the wider AI market, ​whose near-term prospects investors see as hinging largely on the share sale’s success, ahead of rival OpenAI’s potential listing ​next year.

Noice!

In app safari on Mlem got all greens.

Oh, I thought HQ is in Cali? I know, I know… “HQ”.

Yes they are… it was mostly a facetious comment. I think it’s two brothers and one handle California and sales and the other handles China and production.

Didn’t they reclassify TP Link as US based since the company is, ya know, US based?

Anyway. Glad I got the devices when I did. They’re banger.

Hey! OMG thank you for posting this. I have a redmi device too from a few years ago. Tried unlocking it but ran into an issue with the boot loader - apparently it needed to be unlocked with a real SIM and the device is an Indian market device (hand me down from a relative) and doesn’t support the network bands in the market I’m in. So I could never get the process completed.

So this is a TL:DR dumb question because maybe you covered it in your write up, but I’m a noob in this space so I don’t know what I don’t know to look for - how did you unlock the bootloader?

I don’t want to run desktop Linux on it. Maybe use it as a miniPC server or as I was thinking back then - install Ubuntu mobileOS on it.

No, that was JK Rowling.

I don’t watch in browser mostly. Else I would do this too.

IPTV too.

Yes. I’m lazy and watch a lot of YouTube. I cannot deal with ads.

That said, I have prime video through Amazon prime and it asks for, like, $4 per month to skip ads. I stopped watching prime video because of this.

See if you can use ZeroTier. It doesn’t use wire guard but rather their own protocol as far as I know.

“Anonymized”

Do you know how easy it is to deanonimize it? Clearly the regulators and politicians don’t care.

I can imagine a big wall of these, or the next varietal, illuminating a space and making oxygen as well. Maybe not street lights, but definitely night lighting in buildings.

They should use Fable to find hacks that work

Basically, if you put up a fake “future AI product” on there, meme-ify it, blast social media and HackerNews with it, and get people talking about it, regardless of whether it’s good talk or shit talk, you can sell it to some idiot VC for $25000000.

You can install it tomorrow.
