Why the obsession with Diet Coke? FAQ Wednesday #1

Technical empathy is absolutely core to what makes marketing possible at @oxide.computer - couldn’t have said it better myself

Dispatch with computer use (and maybe chrome) disabled seems fine actually. Cowork go grab data from various connectors and build a spreadsheet to analyze them and slides to summarize seems totally normal and good.

Shout out @benleonard.bsky.social for the eye candy on the refreshed @oxide.computer website

Used Claude Code to fix a small but impactful problem in how the @oxide.computer website presented our FAQ Friday posts. Enjoyed proposing a solution rather than only writing up an issue that would add to a real engineer’s already full plate.

Big “I told you so” energy from me on this one. Discord has always been corrosive to the internet. youtu.be/qhxsE8dvbs4?...

The photo of our next-gen @oxide.computer compute sled in our Series C announcement is Sean Gelbaugh’s work. He spent a short window in our office with minimal direction and came back with images we’ve now used everywhere. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

We raised a $200M Series C, now we're putting it to work. New compute sleds with the latest AMD EPYC CPUs are coming. We're also working with Xsight Labs on next-gen switch silicon with a fully open instruction set architecture (ISA). The Register has the details: buff.ly/6ghM2b6

Thrilled to share that we have closed our $200M Series C. Thank you to Thomas Tull's US Innovative Technology Fund for leading this round, along with Eclipse, Riot Ventures, Jane Street, Intel Capital, Counterpart, Friends and Family Capital and all of our additional investors. buff.ly/EIxngne

Good conversation with Tony Fadell on where AI in products is BS and where it can practically improve concrete product experiences - are you building a product to enable AI or are you solving a human problem? youtu.be/CWdCys0cn2s?...

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

It will never get old seeing my boss post that I’ve gotten a raise, and it’s happened a few times now!

The @frame.work 16 w/ 5070 build day went pretty smoothly It didn’t want to install Ubuntu via the USB-C ports but worked fine on the USB-A port 🤷‍♂️ WiFi card was slightly tougher to swap for an Intel AX210 than I expected due to getting the antenna retention bracket back on

Looks like someone did the math on the maximum number of diet cokes @bcantrill.bsky.social can safely consume per day youtube.com/shorts/UY74P...

Some news from @oxide.computer: we got a raise! Our annual salary now stands at $235K. oxide.computer/blog/oxides-...

Using launch day Opus 4.1 to update the Oxide website after our Series B feels like taking a Ferrari to the grocery store. But a joyride is fun and I'll take the assist vs repetitively copying and pasting various pieces of article information 🤝

Why Did Oxide Raise $100M USD? FAQ Friday #12

🎉We raised $100M USD in our Series B financing. Thank you to USIT for leading this round, to our existing investors for their participation, and to our team, customers, and community for getting us to where we are today! oxide.computer/blog/our-100...

Is Oxide a private cloud? FAQ Friday #11

I'd forgive you for assuming that we merely integrate components fully designed and manufactured overseas; that's how most computer companies work today. But did you know that our system PCBs are designed in-house and laid down in Ontario or Chippewa Falls and our products carry a USA COO?

💚

Per-core license, per-socket license, it doesn't matter. The pricing keeps changing, but somehow you always lose. At Oxide, we believe that cloud infrastructure should come complete with all system software built-in. Stop optimizing for licensing models. Start optimizing for your business needs.

Picked up a new houseguest who is extremely polite and will be up for adoption soon in Houston!

it's good. get macwhisper

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

Switch 2 release inspired me to revisit the GOAT of handhelds instead

The best financial investment you’ll make this week is watching this interview- youtu.be/V360AygOv7A

Customers are clear: they need compute infrastructure they can verify and audit. Not mystery code in proprietary firmware.When you can inspect every layer of your infrastructure, you're not just running servers – you're running a system you can trust AND verify.

What skills do you need to operate an Oxide system?

Dear Every Company: STOP CHARGING PEOPLE FOR AI BULLSHIT THEY DIDN’T ASK FOR, DO NOT WANT, AND SOMEHOW CANNOT OPT OUT OF. Your bad choices are not our problem. Just stop it. Backtrack. I promise we won’t make too much fun of you. FFS. Stop it.

I am disappointed in the AI discourse steveklabnik.com/writing/i-am...

We had a great time meeting the Oxide community in DFW last week at our Beer & Boards (and Torchy’s!) event. Where should we visit next?

This FAQ Friday, we answer "Is Oxide for Virtual Machines or Containers?"

“@Grok is this true?” Is a terrifying thing to read when leading AI chatbots either 1) can’t verify a basic sports stat Or 2) got it right by repeating an answer from Reddit rather than checking more authoritative sources PLEASE check what sources your AI answers are based on.
