    Afroman keeps trolling cops after winning “Lemon Pound Cake” defamation case

    MAGA has managed to closely couple itself to the Pentecostal pipeline which is one of the faspest growing religions. Sarah Palin is pentecostal for example. Living with someone who has self radicalised themselves on YouTube, I can tell you it is very confusing and scary to witness. AI is making...

    Google AI mistakenly says fatal Air India crash involved Airbus instead of Boeing

    Very hot air. Sometimes hot water, depending on which datacenter is generating the slop.

    YouTube adopts looser moderation policy for videos about elections, gender, and more

    From my anecdotal viewpoint, often enough. There are now very well established rabbit holes that prey on the vulnerable. My wife wanted to lose some baby weight and I'm not exactly sure how many hops and skips she took from wellness and fasting videos to now refusing to budget for basic things...

    Apple silent as Trump promises “impossible” US-made iPhones

    But would you spend more if the tariff war gets resolved and Apple decide to raise and keep the prices up anyway? The reason I find this whole thing amusing is that Apple is an American company. If you want to boycott American products, you wouldn't be buying Apple stuff to begin with (tariff...

    Apple silent as Trump promises “impossible” US-made iPhones

    Are you saying that you won't buy a new iPhone because it is too expensive? I can believe that (same reason I won't buy one ever). Or are you refusing to buy one because the higher price is due to tariffs and Apple might spread the cost across all their markets? Of course not. If you could...

    Apple silent as Trump promises “impossible” US-made iPhones

    I can't see how Apple customers will choose to exit the ecosystem. I highly doubt anyone would refuse to buy an iPhone so as not to subsidize American buyers. Higher costs might persuade some to seek alternatives (repair, 2nd hand, wait it out, etc...) but it won't be due to fear of subsidizing...

    Apple silent as Trump promises “impossible” US-made iPhones

    According to Ha-Joon Chang, the parasitic financial system in the US simply can't provide the necessary funding to create an ecosystem conducive to mass manufacture of... anything really.

    As Internet enshittification marches on, here are some of the worst offenders

    ADAS. It saves lives "in the right conditions". Just needs recalibration any time you repair your suspension or alter the geometry, or you fart on the radar. Automatic headlights and lamps. They're fantastic... until you're forced to change your windscreen and have to recalibrate everything...

    Google Pixel 4a’s ruinous “Battery Performance” update is a bewildering mess

    That sounds very much like the Asus RMA scam all over again. Gamer Nexus covered it last year.

    Google’s AI deals could hurt its search monopoly appeal, expert says

    Content and social platforms would not need to extract personal data for targeted ads if they catered to specific demographics. YouTube and Facebook want to be everything to everyone so that makes it necessary to steal personal data to figure out who is interacting with what. Smaller and more...

    Microsoft releases Office 2024, the latest buy-once-own-forever version of Office

    Grid-scale batteries: They’re not just lithium

    When it comes to bombing Syria, there are never any objections. No one even asks where the money will come from for buying all these rockets.
