Can anyone explain the value of moving the Shutdown button up into the corner, away from the "start button"? Didn't Windows 11 do this a couple of years ago, causing much user outrage? www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/11/linu... via @gamingonlinux.com

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

So apparently, according to this article, Swedes should be proud that Saab are developing "autonomous features" in their small military boat (a euphemism for making it a killer robot).
How about no?

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s
An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

@benjedwards.com I love your last Op-ed!
Just one small thing, is there anyone you could talk to about the auto-playing videos on Ars? It seems to be the same 4 or 5 videos on rotation since the site overhaul. Very annoying distraction from the text which I can’t see a use for.

Today I discovered that Facebook, the little X in the corner no longer closes the album view. It now acts as a "back" button, taking you back to the previous image. The ESC key has the same effect.
Real nice, Meta. This will improve user engagement, I'm sure.
