    How the Smithsonian became the latest front in Trump’s culture war

    Wrong. It asserted facts without evidence under such thin veil it might not exist at all Likely not intention, but that's what they produced. (Sidenote: Only communist propaganda in my country before revolution was any more blatant in such "drawing attention".) There are ways to write such...

    They gave them. They are trying to get them past unions and government... I am sorry, but you are completely wrong about VW. They are VERY different from standard American MBA company. (look up who owns what shares and what is VW law) === In the end Volkswagen is being hit hard by very high...

    German company becomes first in Europe to launch fully commercial orbital rocket

    Most likely they shipped it there. (Although not sure which port has cargo capability) On land it would likely have to go through Sweden as Norway's highway 85 is interrupted by ferry. It would be about 3300km.

    Anthropic’s $2 trillion IPO puts powerful external trustees in spotlight

    How some media streaming devices open home networks to a world of harm

    You could try to warn them that they are facilitating/aiding and abetting crimes which itself is a crime. At least on Windows each network is by default considered public and thus all incoming ports are by default closed. (IIRC since at least Windows Vista/7 when distinction between...

    Delonghi still makes simple coffee machines with buttons. Bad news. This will wpktr until "AI" chains nice VM break out exploits... The only safe way to use "AI"s is not to use them, AT ALL. Any use is inherently dangerous and really bade idea. There is one small problem. You cannot fix this...

    New bootloader lets you take the “Meta” out of the original Meta Quest

    One, if you think I was ranting against OSS than you are terminally wrong. (and pretty obviously) Second, If, somebody uses Microslop then Linslop and Open Source Slop are only valid returns.

    New bootloader lets you take the “Meta” out of the original Meta Quest
