    Acquisition sends thousands of Whistle pet trackers to IoT graveyard

    And you are wrong. Microsoft's action vis-a-vis Windows 11 is the same as Apple not supporting older hardware. Nothing unique. But actually using W11 on older PCs is literally 1 registry hack away (which is also done behind the scenes for free using software like Rufus etc.). I have been...

    iPhone 16e review: The most expensive cheap iPhone yet

    Not "now". The US has been a rogue state since before 1776, when the "founders" and their predecessors were knowingly distributing pox and leprosy laden blankets as a war and genocide measure to the Natives and grabbing their lands after signing treaties. All the while crowing about liberty...

    Twenty-two states sue to block new NIH funding policy

    It was "us vs. them" when they boarded the Mayflower. Welcome to the cultism and racism sh*t show, ver. 2025 "AD".

    Tesla sales plummet in the UK, France, and Germany

    What a great news. The Pedo Shitmusk's net worth will now go back to $15 billion (c. 2019). It is time the big time money launderers pulled the plug from this shell stock called TSLA. Full Shit Driving FTW!

    As NASA flies into turbulence, the agency could use a steady hand

    The USA was always this bizarro world. The head of the executive is not directly (and proportionately) elected by the people - compare with the parliamentary system where the head of the executive has to have the confidence of the majority of the elected representatives (e.g. in the UK or the...

    Trump announces $500B “Stargate” AI infrastructure project with AGI aims

    I am beginning to think 2030 will be a very different world with the US in doldrums of a degree it hasn't seen since it became the paramount economic power in the 1880s. The reality may be with the BRICS calling the shots rather than the Western hegemons of the past 300 odd-years. The white...

    Florida man eats diet of butter, cheese, beef; cholesterol oozes from his body

    That is likely wrong math. 1g/dL is measured for his blood. Not his whole body. Adults have ~60-65% of weight as water. And about 5L of blood for an adult male (about 7.5% w/w). So, the percent is closer to 0.8% w/w Edit: the % may be more since the blood stream was obviously not able to hold...

    Florida man eats diet of butter, cheese, beef; cholesterol oozes from his body

    Well played, very well played - to those not in the know (Ghee = clarified butter - both which he claimed to be having more of!)

    Florida man eats diet of butter, cheese, beef; cholesterol oozes from his body

    Hope s/he is not going outdoors and keeping the home scrupulously clean and bug-free, getting a tick bite will be a death sentence to the poor sod. Some tick bites are well recorded to be absolutely sure to cause red meat allergies.

    Florida man eats diet of butter, cheese, beef; cholesterol oozes from his body

    I can understand the rest but how are "butter" and "icecream" passing the test of carnivory? This is udderly ridiculous on part of the carnivores.

    NASA moves swiftly to end DEI programs, ask employees to “report” violations

    I wouldn't engage with these clowns. There are 18 people listed on that page and the clown listed the CEO - Kelly Ortberg - who definitely looks a white, man (dunno if he's straight or his pronoun) and Ahkil Johri (another man, but PoC) - and exclaims "look at those men". Just another excuse...

    14 dead as Hezbollah walkie-talkies explode in second, deadlier attack

    What a clown. They didn't manage to save 6 million when they took the high road in 1933-45. They didn't manage to save themselves when they took the high road when the Ottoman, Safavids, Russians, Rashiduns, Umayyads, Abbasids, Romans or sundry other death-cult / king-cult member groups...

    8 dead, 2,700 injured after simultaneous pager explosions in Lebanon

    Find me those "verses" in the Jewish or Hindu or Buddhist or even the Christian NT scriptures are asking for obliteration of the violent bigots Islam has birthed since the for-profit-warlord started having his "oh so well-timed" lascivious and profitable revelations.

    Elon Musk threatens to sue FAA after feds propose fining SpaceX $633,000

    Be a decent human first. The record of being "American" is really not that great - irrespective of what you learnt in your grade school history classes. And it makes you similar to those other blind faith believers of stone age era morality cults based on pure human ignorance.

    Elon Musk threatens to sue FAA after feds propose fining SpaceX $633,000

    Nope, all of this because he is a racist, White supremacist, fascist asshat. The very fact that Musk grew up in Apartheid South Africa, means he has enough of this dogma drilled into his brain. You can't take those things out of them - especially if the socipathic propensities are already there.

    Elon Musk threatens to sue FAA after feds propose fining SpaceX $633,000

    The FAA regulates 30-50 rocket launches a year, it also regulates 16 fucking million commercial passenger, cargo, military and private flights every year. Needless to say, they don't have time for Musk's asshattery. The fact that your post is not buried with 500 downvotes shows there are enough...

    Omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior, says Larry Ellison

    Waiting for the day when "Soylent is Billionaires" is reality - would make for a better world and I've heard Soylent is a great alternative to dog food.

    What to expect from Apple’s September 9 iPhone event

    Ars having to cover these as a tech site is so un-Ars. But that is how the site started. The incremental and courageous changes Apple has made since 2017 have made it similar to Android flagships - especially Samsung and other flagship Android smartphone makers. Most notably software options...

    Ukrainian drones now spray 2,500° C thermite streams right into Russian trenches

    Not going to make any difference to the Russians. Unfortunately, much of this carnage in Ukraine would've been avoided if they didn't enroll Nazis from the get-go and go denying the Russian speakers in the territories under their control from the Soviet era (Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk in...
