Man, Hacker News was buzzing yesterday! Lemme hit you with the highlights real quick.

Slack's Crazy Price Hike

First up, you hear about Slack jacking up their charges for this one company by almost 200 grand a year?! Yeah, wild. People in the comments were saying Slack's being super heavy-handed with their sales tactics. And get this, some folks even brought up IRC as a serious alternative for private comms! Like, old school IRC! Wild, right?

Nvidia Buys Intel Stock

Then there's some huge tech industry news: Nvidia just bought 5 BILLION bucks worth of Intel stock! They're even gonna team up on some new chips, like x86 RTX SOCs. Crazy partnership. Someone in the comments said this isn't just about GPUs, it's about fab competition – Intel needs help funding new chip-making tech, and NVIDIA's stepping in.

KDE is the New Hotness for Desktops

For the Linux nerds, someone wrote a whole post about how KDE is their new favorite desktop environment, saying it's really polished now. But not everyone agreed! Some people in the comments were like, "nah, it's had usability regressions, especially with things like monitor settings." Guess it depends on who you ask.

Meta Ray-Ban Glasses with a Display

Meta's pushing their Ray-Ban glasses again, but now with a display built-in. So, AI glasses. People are still super creeped out by them, though. One person mentioned Zuckerberg's subtle hand gestures looking "so, so creepy" in the demo and worried about getting confronted or denied entry while wearing them. Classic privacy concerns, you know?

Text That Disappears When You Screenshot It

Okay, this one's genuinely cool. Someone made a website where the text literally disappears when you try to screenshot it! Like, how?! Turns out it's some clever trick, flashing black-on-white and white-on-black text super fast. Your eyes see it, but a screenshot just gets a gray blur. Pretty neat for anti-screenshot tech.

Pnpm Fights Supply Chain Attacks

For the dev folks, Pnpm, that package manager, added a new setting to fight off supply chain attacks. Makes it harder for bad actors to sneak malware into your code. A big point was that Pnpm 10.x now disallows post-install scripts by default, which is a huge security win. You have to explicitly enable them. Should be standard, honestly.

Meta's Live AI Demo Fails Big Time

And speaking of Meta, their live AI demo totally flopped. The "AI" recording played before the actor even took the steps it was describing. Awkward! People were saying these glasses would be more distracting than a phone, not less, with all the notifications. And someone suggested smart headphones might be a better approach than head-mounted displays for hands-free tech.

Alright, that's the gist of it. Talk later!
