    Disney, ABC reinstate Jimmy Kimmel amid uproar over government censorship

    Bet your ass they wont learn anything. That's the problem with CEO, MBAs and other supposedly smart people. They are simply unable to learn and thus make the same dumb mistakes over and over again.. Add in the short terms focus of businesses today and you got yourself a repeating series of the...

    In new level of stupid, RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine advisors axe MMRV recommendation

    I have an idea ... why dont the Democrats start saying they hate vaccines too? Republicans loves whatever Democrats hate. Add in some love for guns, rich people and morons as well. Should straighten up the country before noon. Just kidding, you are all f-ed.

    RFK Jr’s anti-vaccine delusions—not science—steer CDC now, ex-director testifies

    It's sad a whole lot of people getting needelessly sick ... but then again, more than half of the people voted for this circus. The US gets what the US literally wants. The entire country is one big Darwin Award.

    Trump admin denies DOGE put Social Security data into insecure cloud system

    The (not so) funny thing is that it probably have to get a lot worse before things can get any better. The Trump administration needs to fusk up so blatantly and badly, with such a large consequence, that even the MAGA-group cant ignore it. Then perhaps the republican party can shake MAGAs grip...

    Texas suit alleging anti-coal “cartel” of top Wall Street firms could reshape ESG

    As a fellow European, I kinda hope Trump finishes that wall of his .. and just extend it around the whole crazyland ... preferably with a roof on it. The US is getting more and more un-investable. US politics has always been a (sheet)show, but at least nobody was messing with business. Now even...

    Rest of the world: shrug let the Americans die from preventable diseases. Perhaps then we get some peacec and quiet.

    Trump admin issues stop-work order for offshore wind project

    Stuff like this gradually makes the US uninvestable for the rest of the world... more than it actually is,. Ørsted has pored billions into this project, which it now potentially could loose. Same investors will look at this and are more likely to to "meeeh ... the risk is too great" the next...

    Bank forced to rehire workers after lying about chatbot productivity, union says

    AI chatbots builds on a disconnect between the company and the customer. The company sees a lot of calls to their support center for that (to them) seems very simple and could easily be handled by AI bots and stuff like that. Why should they spend costly employee time to answare bog simple...

    Trump promised a drilling boom, but US energy industry hasn’t been interested

    Building out oil and gas infrastructure is a very long term investment decision. You dont make such decisions in a regulatory environment where the horizon changes every day. Rules and regulations that come fast can usually also be removed fast. If the regulation came as a result of a broad...

    Bankrupt Futurehome suddenly makes its smart home hub a subscription service

    Even if cracking were allowed in cases of bankrupcy ... who is going to crack it ... and more importantly is going to do ongoing support and development? Who will spend their free time with all of that ... and get nothing in return? Its very easy to want free stuff, but also easy to forget who...

    Bankrupt Futurehome suddenly makes its smart home hub a subscription service

    They do. Unless, like in this case, assets from the bankrupcy estate are sold to cover creditors claims. The new owner of those assets obviously wants some value out of them. So if those assets would be open and free game for everyone to pillage, they wouldn't pay much for it... or even buy it...

    Is DOGE doomed to fail? Some experts are ready to call it.

    On a factual level, DOGE was never going to succeed. The "free" as in spending not already locked in by law, really isnt that big in any country. Governements rarely have money sloshing around in departments. Whatever funds a branch of government has, is usually locked in by law (... or in many...

    Ubuntu disables Intel GPU security mitigations, promises 20% performance boost

    My view is that the default, expected (and most often safe) value should be 0. So if a value isnt set, the default, expected and safe behaviour happens. So, you would need to actively change the default behaviour for it to take effect; either disable a security feature, enable some extra...

    Microsoft extends free Windows 10 security updates into 2026, with strings attached

    I only installed Windows 11 on my new computer two years ago because that was the newest. It didnt bring me anything new, no new features, no new cool stuff. For me Win 11 was just a Win 10, but with a shameless copy of Apple UI. (... which I fixed with Explorer patcher) I guess more people...

    Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos

    Honestly, at this point I have stop being surprised by all the dumb sheet you Americans do. Why dont you just add mercury, lead and arsenic to your drinking water and be done with it?

    US science is being wrecked, and its leadership is fighting the last war

    Science is the pursuit of truth ... Trump and to a large extent the republican faction as a strained relationship with the truth. It disproves all those bullshit claims and hyper bole. It undermines the foundation of their power. Off course will they go after science.
