This article will contain Summaries Generated by my Youtube Summarizer which uses Python's libraries for fetching Youtube transcripts, and Mistral Small 3.1 (24B) on Venice.ai for the summaries.
This container is inspired by @taskmaster4450le's Technology Threadcast on INLEO, but it's not limited to technology. Unlike the threadcast, however, comments here will contain the full summaries in one comment each, as to not break the information in multiple HIVE Blocks. I believe the data will be more valuable that way.
If you're here to read the summaries, Thanks for coming by and Have a good read!

The Switch 2 Pre-Order Situation
The Switch 2 is set to release in July, and the pre-order situation is becoming increasingly complicated. Scalpers are using online marketplaces like eBay to sell pre-orders at inflated prices, taking advantage of the high demand and limited supply. The console's price is expected to increase as the release date approaches, making it difficult for genuine buyers to purchase the console at a reasonable price.
The situation is not unique to the Switch 2, as scalpers have been known to target other highly anticipated console releases in the past. However, the issue is particularly pronounced in this case, given the high demand for the console and the limited supply. As a result, buyers are being forced to pay exorbitant prices or wait for the console to become available at a later date.

Llama 4 Models and Features
The Llama 4 models are giants in the AI world, dominating multiple benchmarks. Llama 4 Force Scoot has a 10 million token context window, which enables tasks like multi-document summarization and reasoning over large code bases. Llama 4 Maverick is a great alternative to Gemini 2.0 Flash, with better performance in various categories. The models use a new IRO architecture, interled with attention layers, and have rotary embeddings that excel at long context tasks.
The Scoot and Maverick models are the first open-weight, natively multimodal large English models from Meta, using early fusion to integrate text and vision seamlessly. Both models use a mixture of experts as the architecture, where each token activates only a small subset of parameters, improving efficiency.
The models can be accessed through llama.com, Hugging Face, or Meta AI's chatbot, and a free API is available through Open Router.

The mini smartphones from Japan you've never heard about
The Rakuten Hand and Rakuten Mini are two mini smartphones from Japan that offer a unique experience. The Rakuten Hand has a compact design with premium features, including a glass back and waterproofing. It features an 18:9 ratio OLED display and in-screen fingerprint sensor. The phone's performance is decent, with 5-6 hours of screen-on time, but the camera output is lacking in detail. The Rakuten Mini is even smaller, with a credit card-sized design, and supports Japan's Osaifu Keitai feature. It has a limited battery life, with only 2 hours of screen-on time, and is stuck on Android 9. Despite limitations, both phones can be useful as secondary devices or for specific use cases, such as a digital flashcard for studying Japanese.
The phones' unique design elements, such as the built-in lanyard hook area on the Rakuten Mini, add to their charm. With prices under $100 in used electronic shops, they can be a great option for those looking for a quirky gadget or a first device for kids.

I Bought 10 Weird Keyboards from AliExpress
The host begins by trying out a waterproof and silent keyboard, which costs $13.50, but it fails to impress due to its poor build quality and non-functional keys. Next, they test the doo wired keyboard with a docking station, which has a short USB cable but offers a good typing experience with 96% accuracy. The host also tries the h18 plus air mouse mini touch keyboard, which has a unique ortholinear layout but is difficult to use.
The foldable Bluetooth wireless keyboard with a touchpad is another contender, offering multi-device connectivity and gesture compatibility, but its Bluetooth connectivity can be laggy. The laser projection keyboard is an interesting device that projects a keyboard onto a surface, allowing users to type, but its accuracy is only 91%. The host also tests a small gaming keyboard with hot-swappable key switches, a tablet keyboard with RGB backlighting, and a mechanical keyboard with a volume knob, each with varying degrees of success.

Linux and Open Source News (AI Bots)
The Linux and open-source community is facing several challenges, including the impact of AI-powered scraping bots on open-source projects. These bots are causing significant increases in bandwidth and hosting costs, and are ignoring the robots.txt file meant to prevent crawling. In other news, Android's development process is going fully private, with Google no longer sharing day-to-day patches and commits. The Linux kernel 6.14 has been released, bringing solid gaming improvements, including the addition of the NTYNC driver. Ubuntu's latest beta, 25.04, is out, with updates to the kernel, Gnome, and other features.
The Android development process going private may have implications for custom ROM developers, who will no longer have access to the work-in-progress branch. The Linux kernel 6.14 release includes improvements to gaming performance, with the addition of the NTYNC driver, which will bring F-Sync or ESYNC to the kernel. Ubuntu's 25.04 beta includes updates to the kernel, Gnome, and other features, such as HDR support and performance improvements.

How Linux WINE Works Under the Hood
The video starts by explaining how Wine works and then proceeds to demonstrate it by building Wine from scratch and running the Minesweeper game. The transcript also explores the Wine debug channels feature, which allows tracing of API calls made by the application. It uses this feature to identify the API call related to the timer in the Minesweeper game and modifies it to make the timer run faster. The video also covers the Wine server, which acts as a fake kernel, and its role in synchronization and sharing information between multiple processes.
The transcript also touches on the Wine debugger, called WineDbg, which is used to debug Wine applications. It shows how to use WineDbg to set a breakpoint on the set timer API call and inspect the application's behavior. Additionally, the video explains how Wine loads executables and DLLs into memory and provides a simulated Windows environment, complete with a registry and a command prompt.

No, No One Is Forcing You to Buy a New Machine
The main concern surrounding Windows 11's hardware requirements is that users will be forced to discard their old computers and purchase new ones. However, this is not the case. Users can continue using their Windows 10 machines without significant issues.
When Windows 10 reaches its end-of-support date, it will no longer receive bug fixes, but security software and other Microsoft applications will still be updated.
Users have several options, including staying with Windows 10, purchasing extended security updates, installing Linux, or switching to new hardware.

#askleo How do we know the distance of Galaxies compared to our Earth?
I dunno, the numbers feel like more than a human could measure. Is it a scam?
Are there any proofs I can check of your claims?
But what if I don't trust Nasa?
Are there any proof that we landed or did not land on the Moon? I can't believe NASA words.
