The only, and I MEAN only, reason #capitalism is having conniptions over jamming #AI into everything is to spur development, but not to make life easier. No. Their only goal is to eliminate the one thing they cannot control: humans. #tech #dystopia www.wired.com/story/dee…

Considering current geopolitical conditions, we may need SRL to develop these devices further. When #capitalism’s robots come for the resources of Earth and humans fight them to save our only viable home, we’ll need powerful weapons. #science #tech #electricity www.youtube.com/watch

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Spinning rust hard drives have improved significantly over the years, but they still fail. To have 26TB of #storage on a single drive and lose it to failure would be catastrophic, so make sure to get more than three. #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…

How refreshing! It seems there is a new #OpenSource #Windows-compatible OS project called #Free95 on #GitHub. It is clearly in the very early stages of Alpha testing. The dev is open to contributors and would like to get Doom running. Naturally :) tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…

While #Capitalism touts the amazing benefits that #AI will bring us (don’t concern yourself with when) and jams it into everything it can and forces it into everything it cannot, everyday people are cornered into dealing with the toxic fallout. #tech #bullshit news.slashdot.org/story/25/…

Back in September of 2024 I speculated that #TSMC’s #Apple A16 chip production in the US would end up in the next #iPad. Nice to see I was on the right track. Of course, we weren’t taking the tariff threats seriously at the time. #tech 9to5mac.com/2025/03/0…

You may have heard that #Apple announced the 11th generation base #iPad upgraded to an A16 processor and starting with 128GBs of storage, but is lacking #AppleIntelligence. Good, I say. I’m happy to have it on my Mac Mini, but don’t need it anywhere else. #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…

Anyone who deals in retro gear knows #retrocomputing gets more difficult the further back you go in history. Hugh Jeffreys deals with one of the common issues with his iBook G3s dead batteries. Not a guide, per se, but helpful info for decision making. #tech #Apple www.youtube.com/watch

Panos Panay looks at the camera while presenting Amazon's new Alexa Plus product, with several devices displayed in the background.

This makes me sad. Panos was the beating heart of #Microsoft PR when they were being really innovative. Then #Windows 11 with ads, projects dropped off the map, #Copilot, & other #enshittification. Now he’s hawking shit at #Amazon. Booo to all of it. #capitalism

Not surprising. #Microsoft makes tons of money from #advertising and #ManifestV3 helps facilitate that. Extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and other ad and script blockers actively eliminate revenue streams for them. #tech #internet #capitalism tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…
