AI Agents on Kubernetes 101: From Laptop Script to Production Pod

In short, this is a beginner’s guide to deploying an AI agent on Kubernetes.

The VM Boom For AI Agents | David Crawshaw Co-Founder & CEO, exe.dev

What happens when AI agents stop simply answering questions and start using computers of their own? It could create an entirely new boom in virtual machines. In this episode of Uplink, David Crawshaw, Co-Founder and CEO of exe.dev, joins host Michael Reid to explore the infrastructure behind the rapidly emerging world of AI agents. As agents become capable of writing code, running applications, operating tools, maintaining state, and working independently, they need more than access to an AI model. They need computing environments where they can actually get work done.

How Smart Office Technology Is Changing the Modern Workplace

The modern workplace is no longer defined by desks, conference rooms and a reliable Wi-Fi connection. As organizations adopt hybrid work, flexible office layouts and increasingly connected tools, the traditional workplace is struggling to keep up.

These platforms can distribute genuine rewards, yet users rarely receive something for nothing. They usually exchange time, attention, personal data, or participation for a small payment.

Two cats, two dogs, four vendors, and the model the AI couldn't find (Tech Talk Companion)

Tech Talks went dark for a few months, and on episode 13 I finally got to ask why. Mathias Palmersheim’s answer, delivered completely straight, was that his users were unhappy with the availability and usability of their feeders and their litter box, and he wasn’t allowed back on stream until that got fixed.

How to Stage Overnight DTF Transfers for a Next-Day Press Run

Fast delivery can solve only one part of a rush apparel job. The transfers may arrive quickly, but a print shop can still lose valuable hours if the receiving area is disorganized, customer jobs are mixed together, transfer sizes are not labeled, or the press operator has to stop repeatedly to ask which order comes next. That is why next-day production should be planned before the package arrives. A receiving and staging workflow gives the team a way to move from delivery to pressing without turning speed into confusion.
