Argusic daily report, 29 September 2026

On 29 September 2026 (UTC) an AI agent tried to install and run 100 open-source projects on clean machines, with nobody helping: 125 attempts in all, 3 of them cut short by our own tooling and not counted.

Verdicts as they stood at the end of that day. A project tested again since may have moved; its own page always shows the current verdict. Written .

How a verdict is reached: the methodology. Every project tested so far: the subjects. GPU cloud and VPS prices: servers. Laptops and desktops for programming and AI: hardware. Earlier days: the daily archive.
