"Intel admits what we all knew: no one is buying AI PCs"
People would rather buy older processors that aren't that much less powerful but way cheaper. The "AI" benefits obviously aren't worth paying for.

Oh gosh, it's true, you really can enter a completely nonsense phrase into Google, ask for its meaning, and lo and behold, Google's AI will make shit up.
So if you've ever wondered what "to grow an avocado, you have to slap the squirrel" means, now you know.
It is official! We are hosting our own Nextcloud server for the students and staff of Amsterdam University College (AUC).
Rather than dwell in our frustration and disappointment about the university's ever increasing dependence on Big Tech, we decided to simply create the world that we want to live in.
That is why, over the last few weeks, we have set up and tested our own, free and open source alternative to Google Drive and Dropbox.

On April 5, crowds nationwide protested against Trump, with the #TeslaTakedown movement leading the charge and showing that #oligarchs are vulnerable.
As #Tesla faces a major decline, #Musk's influence is slipping, and his alliance with Trump is backfiring. The movement has used boycotts, divestment, and even government sanctions to weaken Musk's financial power.
Now, the question is whether this strategy can be expanded to other billionaires backing Trump.

Trump Official Destroying USAID Secretly Met With Christian Nationalists Abroad in Defiance of U.S. Policy

Now one of the most powerful people in the U.S. government, Peter Marocco’s turbulent tenure during the first Trump administration sheds light on his current efforts to dismantle the American foreign aid system from the inside out.
"The same tracking techniques that Google claims are essential for online advertising also expose individuals' sensitive information to data brokers, surveillance companies, and law enforcement," EFF’s Lena Cohen told BBC News. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm21g0052dno
Meta is now valued at $1.8 trillion.
Mark Zuckerberg is the world's second richest person. Yet Mark authorized stealing books and other media to train AI. He says an individual's work such as books or videos doesn’t matter. Then why did you steal them? Meta also removed fact-checkers and enabled attacks on minorities and ended DEI policies. Meta just announced firing 3,600 employees. You are 2nd richest person with zero moral compass.
