The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

For people wondering when the AI bubble is going to pop, I present you with this message, received by a paid-in-full customer of OpenAI. Not a good look when you have to tell paying customers you've run out of resources.

Upgrading my wife's iPhone SE to a 17Pro - over an hour of watching it get stuck and start over before finally discovering the BRAND NEW PHONE needed a software update before the transfer could work. What a pathetic fail, Apple! (My Samsung upgrade worked perfectly 1st try) #Apple #iPhone

Curious to know what repairability is like on the new Jony Ive designed Ferrari Luce. Knowing Ive, it's completely glued/welded shut. If it breaks down you're expected to throw it out and buy a new one. [Photo via Trung Phan]

Three photos of a blue sports car in a red brick courtyard. The last photo shows the car turned upside-down with a charging cable attached, similar to the Apple mouse.

One thing I like about our current tech landscape: Simplisafe: "The battery within the Key Fob cannot be replaced." YouTube: "To replace the Key Fob battery, just pry it open here with a screwdriver..."

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Micron ending it's Crucial consumer DRAM brand is a sign of a larger issue: Computation going from individual ownership and moving to data centers you have rent resources from. See also steadily rising prices on new GPU cards and SSDs. The future is a Chromebook and a $150/month data center bill.

SSDs are pretty reliable in a technical sense.  That is, unless you make a really, really bad mistake in firmware.   HP had a line of ~20 different Enterprise SSD models for datacenter use.  In exactly 3 years, 270 days and 8 hours, every one is irrecoverably bricked.
