I can’t believe Intel released a new gen desktop CPU and I didn’t even notice!

They released a new chip?
🤷‍♂️
Qualcomm is creating higher end desktop CPUs. Now that's interesting news. I'm looking forward to more competition for strong Arm desktops and laptops

No I don’t want to give you location access.
No I don’t want to sign in.
No I don’t think this would be better in Chrome.

How about instead of “don’t be evil” we go for “don’t be obnoxious”?

Also Apple please add a block all future requests for location from this site option.

Enshittification is a thing.
Ask @mmasnick about it.
And Google (and Apple) are supreme leaders of the movement.

This is an excellent time to be skeptical consumers of legal takes and be cautious about both Trumpist pseudo-legal disinformation and Resistance pseudo-legal wishcasting.

Anti-SLAPP win this morning. Dear CA plaintiffs and lawyers: just a reminder, under CA law even if I take a case pro bono you have to pay my fees, at rack rates, if I win an anti-SLAPP.

It's so nice to see the X Window System back in the news. What a nice blast from the past...

We cancelled cable years ago and rarely ever miss it. And usually there's a way to watch the stuff we really want to see without cable.

So, Ken, when are you recording your next emergency podcast?
I assume within the next hour so we can enjoy it tomorrow?

Or will you stubbornly insist on silly things like "reading the indictment" and "understanding the material that's available" and other weird stuff?

    Possibly.
    I am happy for you that in this current day you have maintained that optimistic outlook on life.
    My assumption would be it failed, they wiped it, it seemed to work, now they are selling it.
    I guess I'm a bit of a "glass half-empty" guy...

    this story that "someone is using AI to spread disinformation about Changpeng Zhao of Binance" is going around crypto media, in reports mostly based on this Fortune Crypto article.

    what is the claim here, that someone somehow intentionally seeded ChatGPT with false info? that congresspeople are asking ChatGPT if CZ is a communist and then sending formal inquiries? that someone is sending congresspeople ChatGPT printouts with false info, and they're taking them seriously?

    A while ago I got interested in -B (or ) tracking of airplanes (the whole Elon-jet debacle was part of that). And as I tend to do with these things... I may have gotten hooked. As if I needed another hobby 🤷‍♂️
    Anyway, my latest project is an attempt to make it much easier for people to get started with this... Even if they aren't technical and find the idea of using a command line interface really strange.

    well - what's in it for them if they learn? Fewer clicks. What's in it for them if they play along with the hype and make the hype bigger? More clicks.

    So...?
