in funding from the US government and will be expanding its partnership with Amazon web services as well as restructuring and making its Foundry division into an independent subsidiary that still reports to Pat this isn't a huge change it's kind of like moving out of your parents place and into the Coach House in their backyard but even then that house would feel like a castle with an upgrade

speak uh they are not going to stop to reply to you those snap of chat Fame have officially unveiled their new spectacles 5 AR glasses and they look like if the CIA did a bad job hiding cameras in a pair of 3D glasses but that's okay because they aren't for you they're for developers who can rent them for $99 a month what what also isn't for you is the exclusive use of your face it turns out that Snapchat's AI powered my selfie feature can be used to serve you ads with your own face in them unless you toggle off the setting but to be safe you could also uninstall the app microwave your phone and go live in the forest Apple has temporarily paused the roll out of iPad OS 18 on newer M4 iPad Pros due to complaints that the update was bricking the devices this is further proof that tablet should never have evolved past just being clay the bug hasn't affected every M4 iPad Pro but the ones that are affected seem unrecoverable with apple allegedly offering Hardware Replacements to affected users Apple has put out a statement saying they are working to resolve the issue but it's a real mystery like something right out of the Emmy award-winning TV series monk starring Tony shaloo we're back baby he's back I don't know the is there a song It's a Jungle Out Here what disorder and confusion everywhere okay Discord is officially rolling out Dave a new guy Dave which stands for discord's audio and video endtoend encryption bizarrely one thing Dave doesn't include is is encrypted text Communications probably because that would have messed up their fun acronym Discord says this exception is to ensure they can continue their current moderation policy but that doesn't explain why an audio call is somehow less risky than a DM or why they couldn't use a system similar to Whatsapp where Communications are encrypted until a user in the conversation reports a message Dave's like an overbearing parent who insists on reading all your text messages but hasn't figured out that you've been calling your weed dealer using the landline technically that's hacking a bipartisan Bill to force vehicle manufacturers to include AM radio has passed through committee and will now move to a full floor vote in the US House of Representatives AM radio has been in cars for nearly a century but some manufacturers have started leaving it out of EV Vehicles because the electromagnetic forces from the powertrain caus significant interference there are workarounds but they might require expensive redesigns and additional shielding you know stuff that cost money lawmakers however argue that AM radio is a vital tool during natural disasters and other emergencies because am signals travel much farther than FM signals and pass through solid objects like the ghost of NPR and Microsoft says all Microsoft 365 co-pilot subscribers can now access co-pilot Academy a product to help you learn how to use a different product because despite generative AI being forcefully injected into literally everything industry reports consistently say that workers and consumers are struggling to figure out how to make it actually useful you might think that's because it's not actually that useful for people outside of a few specific niches but you'd be wrong you're just not using it right with your dumb fleshy sausage fingers move over let the AI use itself we hear a TechLink love your fleshy sausage fingers and we want to see them here again on Friday everybody in the office wants a look come on hold them up look at them they're great it's a sin against man those look what except no"}
