Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called โ€œfucksmithโ€ posted suggesting it was a good idea.

iFixit's had enough with Samsung. That secret contract was only part of the problem.

Anyway, I've been saying Samsung sucks for years. Not sure why it wasn't obvious to anyone who's used one of their crapware-laden devices.

I've got some news for Microsoft about how domestic abuse works.

You'd think I'd be someone who might do it, but I actually never use LLMs for work purposes beyond the research that I do on small models. Like I don't use them to write code that I'd use anywhere, or to write emails, or do any of that except occasionally I'll bounce an idea off of one as a sort of rubber duck thing. It's all still just me.

Microsoftโ€™s new โ€œRecallโ€ feature will record everything you do on your PC

Recall uses Copilot+ PC features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

@arstechnica "At first glance, the Recall feature seems like it may set the stage for potential gross violations of user privacy. Despite reassurances from Microsoft, that impression persists for second and third glances as well." You don't say. The only thing I want to know about this feature is how to disable it.

And yet Canada is the worldโ€™s largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia, the US and Russia.

If you believe geography (rather than the popular will) is destiny, it shouldnโ€™t surprise you that North Americaโ€™s two liberal democracies are now making common cause with authoritarian petrostates.

In 2022 SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that public school teachers & other staff can lead students in prayer.

Now Louisiana will require all schools that receive public funding to display the Ten Commandments, including colleges and universities.

If itโ€™s prayer these guys want, if youโ€™re a public school teacher who wants to learn the Islamic call to prayer, i.e. the Adhaan, to teach your students, let me know.๐Ÿ™ƒ

A child has died from measles in Hamilton, Ontario.

It's the first measles death in the province since 1989.

The child was not immunized against measles.

Well put.

โ€œRinehart seems to want to use her money for cultural influence. Namatjira uses his talent to the same end.

She wants to control her public image, and will deploy people financially dependent on her to that end. His art is a subversion of that control.

Rinehartโ€™s attempts at censorship have only elevated Namatjira and brought his work to a new audience.โ€
