Last I read, the entire internet used less than 2% of the electricity we generate. Using the same amount of energy just for a spicy autocorrect is insane.

Because the reason webp/webm is trash is that it uses proprietary codecs, which some software companies don't want to include support for. It's google's attempt to control every format used on the web.
We already have JXL, which is better than webp at everything it does, it's not proprietary, and the main reason it's still not widely supported is because google spent years trying to bury it and intentionally not offering support for it and prioritizing its own webp.
It's not flawed at all. But its purpose isn't actually to secure anything. Its purpose is to complicate the installation of alternative OS and to perpetuate vendor lock in, while sounding like it's "for your security". In that regard, it has succeeded.
There is also TPM and Microsoft Pluton, which serve the same purpose.
Good. Here's hoping they end up running it into the ground. I hate that site, and I hate everyone who asks for a linkedin account to apply for jobs.
This is the actual reason I won't buy one. I'm willing to pay extra for a product that goes against the current and offers repairability and modularity. But the way they handled that situation makes me not want to see them ever again. I'll stick to used Thinkpads.
Depends on the place. In a lot of countries, the countryside has complete coverage of 3G and 4G. There are also places with at least coax, and even fiber.
In places like the US, companies like Starlink have lobbied so that no cable is installed and no nationwide 3G/4G coverage exists (5G coverage would be near impossible due to the limitations of the technology).
Imho we should be focusing on running cable everywhere instead of trying to maintain a massive network of thousands of satellites in LEO. It's probably cheaper in the long run, and it doesn't ruin scientific observations or the ozone layer.
And also an increase in updates that add things that people want and use! Like the new Copilot™ For Office 365™ Environments With Microsoft Teams™ Integration (new) & knuckles
It's entirely AI generated. Look at the antenna. That's a batwing antenna, but it's missing an entire half. If you look at the original pic, it's complete.
Edit: couldn't find the original photo rn, and I cba to find it, but here's another showing the complete shape of the batwing antenna:
You tend to want attention when you're sharing an important message, and it kinda worked. A lot of people have now seen a message that wouldn't have been seen by almost anyone had they not done that.
Weirdly enough, although the API was supposedly cancelled, if you have an old client it still works fine. Currently writing this as of 2026-07-02T04:34:00Z.
Discord's gif picker doesn't go directly to Tenor, it passes through their internal CDN, so it may be some caching. But it's still funny that it works.
Even ddr3 has gone slightly up, which is insane
