Power's out. Based on the outages in nearby, more populous areas, I'm guessing this one's gonna last a while.

[Meta] employees told us the goal wasn't to do great work, it was to avoid landing in the bottom performance tier.
Meta's forced ranking requires a set percentage of 'low performers.'
Managers hired [disposable workers] so they didn't have to put trusted team members in the bottom bucket.

Over 9 million rural families across the globe have gotten high speed, low latency broadband thanks to LEO internet satellites. I estimate that number will double by 2030.

I've used almost 2 dozen flagship laptops over the last 25 years, from all the top manufacturers across the major platforms, and I've concluded that ~14" is best.

Robert Plant had it.
His voice and charisma were pretty great, but damn, those looks sure don't hurt.
Not much of a post, but aren't you glad to now know some of my taste in male faces ;-)

Samsung and Apple have little else to offer with each new smartphone generation, so we get ever bulkier cameras. But the truth is, smartphone cameras were good enough for 90% of us a decade ago. There's no need for ever taller lens stacks and their huge bumps. RedMagic is on the right track.

You can ask AI chatbots to give you Google's top results for a search term and doing so should raise the AI company's costs a bit and lower Google's ad impressions a bit, sort of a win-win.

San Francisco had a city-wide power outage last night and the Waymo driver-less taxis couldn't deal with down traffic lights so they just parked themselves in the middle of the streets causing traffic jams.
This is a photo I stole from Twitter of 6 Waymo vehicles blocking an intersection.

Meta has invested ~$100B in virtual reality, Apple ~$30B. Quest has ~7M active users and Vision Pro ~100K. That means if you're a Quest user, Meta spent ~$14,000 on you, and if you use a Vision Pro, Apple spent ~$300,000 on you.
VR's a bust, but you did get to play with some very expensive tech.

Instead of making employees adopt AI, corporations should just force methamphetamine on their workers. It would increase productivity, and the drug companies would profit hugely. The only hurdle is a legal one, hardly a barrier for a corporate owned and operated legal system like the US has.
