(Yet another) Example of Facebook being unable to police its own ad platform. I don't understand the lack of regulation with enforcement and fines befitting the profit margins these companies are refusing to spend on basics (and when I

Is Microsoft going to back down? Are they doing to pull back on their commitment to use AI or force AI into all of their products and services? This feels as if Satya sees where the fees are headed and isn't seeing how those costs are

The calculator app, whilst the straw that broke the candle back, wasn't the point for me, it was the pattern. Which has continued apace.

Clicking a Teams meeting link from Outlook Calendar opens the pre-meeting screen to allow enable/disable of camera/microphone, plus it also loads up a little reminder window with Join and Dismiss buttons _over the top_ of the Join

Calculator taking measurable seconds to load was the last straw for me for Windows 10. Exclusively Linux at home for a couple of years now, and there's a relatively steady stream of headlines to remind me of how good a decision it was

My 2024-model Chinese EV allows for volume to be turned down for various things - and these volume settings are kept across 'reboots'. It makes the occasional 'bing' or 'bong' that I need to look at the screen

Why does a car even need an Internet connection? I'd prefer a car without. I recently bought a 2024 model Chinese EV, and it doesn't seem to have an internet connection of its own. Neither does it seem to have an app. Reasons I co

One element of this that I find interesting is that from the outside it can look somewhat like a decentralised monopoly given that it affects all (or most?) commercial rental properties; it looks like collusion to keep rents high. Where it&

One MAGA hat at a Republican rally doesn't mean all Republicans are MAGA. If anything is to be learnt, it is that individuals should be judged as individuals, or at least that individuals should not be judged by the worst actions of a
