Beyond Meta we now have OpenAI caught funding age verification laws, and rather sneakily. Consequently, a lot of these supposed organizations that seem to be grass roots are not, or taking donations that require board seats so they can make…
I’m currently running Endeavor OS, basically vanilla Arch with management extras and easy installer, but Artix could become my new distribution of choice depending on what Endeavor does with age verification (they are against it but waiting to see what…
This would seem to support that the UAE has started offensive action against Iran. A combat drone shot down by Iranian air defenses on April 2 turned out to be a Chinese-made Wing Loong II, a type operated by…

I’ve seen a lot of hype about the affordable Macbook Neo (probably native ads), but you might be surprised as to what you’re actually buying. Is it a big play for education to fight Chromebooks? I wouldn’t buy an Apple…
This is quite the development as this brings cheap drones into line with the speed of missiles. And notice the loitering aspect, where you could have them hanging out and waiting for the moment a target exposes themselves. And built…
