    Alright, you sold me, I guess I’m getting a Pixel Fold.

    What’s the good of being named Wesley if I don’t have a Star Trek: The Next Generation-era console to fiddle with? The Trek-themed launcher in this TikTok from thetechpreacher might be just the thing... if I had a Pixel Fold.

    Yes, these launchers have been around forever, but look, I forgot about them, and this video awakened something in me.

    I wish he said where it’s from. I think it’s this one?

    Facebook’s news blockade puts people in danger, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau says.

    As Canada’s wildfires rage on, Trudeau told reporters today that the company “is choosing to put corporate profits” above getting timely updates to people, Bloomberg reports.

    Meta blocked Facebook and Instagram news links earlier this month to protest the country’s Online News Act. A Meta spokesperson told Bloomberg that its “Safety Check” feature still lets people tell others they’re safe, adding that alerts from government and emergency services social accounts aren’t blocked either.

    Breaking down how Nvidia became a leader in AI hardware.

    Nvidia’s AI lead pushed it to become a $1 trillion company, while its H100 chips are so in demand they can be used as collateral even as the next-gen Nvidia GH200 sits on the horizon.

    Now the New York Times describes how it’s established a monstrous lead over other chipmakers, extending a victory tour of editorial recounting Nvidia “hand-delivering processors to Elon Musk and Sam Altman,” how it started in a Denny’s, and CEO Jensen Huang’s SIGGRAPH keynote outlining its decision to focus on AI.

    “Elon desperately wants the world to be saved. But only if he can be the one to save it.”

    ...says OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in Ronan Farrow’s wide-ranging New Yorker story on Elon Musk’s influence.

    The story begins with a sharp focus on Musk’s brittle support of Ukraine with his Starlink internet satellites and expands to his business dealings in China, his rise to tech industry prominence, and his descent into conspiratorial thinking.
