“Smelania” The new fragrance from TrumpCo.

It’s all very “We’re miserable, so you have to be too.”

This is going to do wonders for the travel industry as Americans go abroad to get vaccinations they can no longer get at home.

How else am I supposed to waste color toner so I can overbill my clients?

I’m having flashbacks to Word 6 for Mac, when everyone downgraded back to Word 5.1.

There’s no hurricanes if there’s no NOAA. There’s no bird flu if there’s no CDC.

When are stockholders going to realize that the current Microsoft CEO is ruining Windows?

Dude could have just been successful letting Facebook be a tool to keep in touch with friends and family. Instead he has all these weird, unnecessary ideas about how to manipulate and spy on people.

This says Xbox has over 60% of global market share:

Apple doesn’t ban Mac users from downloading software outside the App Store.

Microsoft bans Xbox users from downloading unlicensed software.

Now do Xbox, Nintendo, and PS5 stores.

Yes, but who feels like exercising when you’re on chemo?

Clever use of the technology. I wonder if any other businesses are looking into this?

There might be a slew of still salvageable parts I would think. I guess the question is how salvageable, how complicated to recover, and how much those parts would be worth.

Would it cost more than $60 mil to recover it from the ocean?

That's *always* the case.

Maybe there’s a reason for that. The word “enshitification” doesn’t exist in a void.

Plexamp includes a sleep timer. It’s under the … menu during playback.

Interesting article. I do wonder why a more of the data centers aren’t located in colder climates. I’ve read people are investigating piping/reusing the waste heat to warm homes and businesses in colder cities. There was one data center (not AI related) that was using their heat to warm an indoor pool.

The water usage they mention looks like it’s for cooling. I’m guessing they mean evaporative coolers? That would mean that the water wouldn’t have to be potable. Requiring the systems to use grey water might help. I also wonder if they could be located on the coastline and just use filtered seawater.

The other interesting point was about the amount of electricity at these places used to generate content. Some device manufacturers are moving towards on device AI. I’m guessing that would use a lot less electricity.

And then weren’t there some recent advances in AI models that didn’t require as much computing power? Maybe this will help dial back their electrical use.

It just seems like in the race to get ahead in AI, people are throwing money and processing power at the problem without worrying about the environmental consequences. Of course that’s usually the way it’s done, all in the name of making money. It’s good to see the industry being called out for it.

I hope no one gets it. It should be its own separate company.
