    Motorola’s 2026 Razrs are almost worth buying just for their stunning looks… almost

    Dollars for donuts those link rewrites are not just inserting affiliate links (pretty f’ed up), but also tracking the hell out of you. Some diabolical shit for a major hardware manufacturer.

    Motorola’s 2026 Razrs are almost worth buying just for their stunning looks… almost

    Not that I would buy one of these, but I love that the non-functional surfaces are textured rather than slippery-as-hell glass or smooth metal. (Curious to know how long it lasts without fraying, and whether its replaceable.) I hate cases, and whenever I get a new iPhone I immediately put a...

    Meta will use employee-tracking software to help train AI agents: Report

    They say they’re using it to train AI agents to use interface devices. I can think of at least a half dozen other evil dystopian ways this could be used. What’re the chances this isn’t a smokescreen for something worse?

    Archaeologists may have found the grave of the legendary “fourth musketeer”

    Don’t beat yourself up too badly. At least you weren’t letting GenAI make up D’Artagnan quotes 😏

    DOGE goes nuclear: How trump invited silicon valley into America’s nuclear power regulator

    Nuke Silicon Valley from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure

    Researchers make “neuromorphic” artificial skin for robots

    All the folks thinking “Terminator” is the mainstream production path for this stuff don’t know how tech adoption works. 100% it’s responsive Fleshlights and femme-bots.

    TV-focused YouTube update brings AI upscaling, shopping QR codes

    Paid YouTube subscriber here, and I don’t mind GenAI content as long as it’s something original and not pretending to be something it’s not. But the examples I’ve seen of the “upscaled” vids are fucking atrocious. Yes, the video feed may go from whatever to 1080p but the AI is some half-assed...

    GOP wants EV tax credit gone; it would be a disaster for Tesla

    Please, Musk, please, please, please form your own political party and splinter the Republicans

    Musk’s DOGE used Meta’s Llama 2—not Grok—for gov’t slashing, report says

    Wouldn’t matter. Watergate happened at a time when people had a semblance of balance in their news intake, actually believed the truth when it was reported, and cared. Not so much now.

    Industry groups are not happy about the imminent demise of Energy Star

    Perfect description of my ex wife. (Sorry, off topic, but we could all use some levity, right?)

    Remember when they used to build something useful before starting the enshittification?

    Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28

    Several times in the last few weeks my Echo devices have randomly announced, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that" or some such when I definitely said nothing like the wake word. Guess it's finally time to chuck all the fucking things in the bin.

    The surveillance tech waiting for workers as they return to the office

    This guy's full of shit. Reallocating resources to AI projects may be true, but I'd venture to guess most CEOs know the GenAI hype is mostly bullshit and that it's not going to replace office workers in a meaningful way anytime soon. They're just jumping on the bandwagon because it's expected...
