Elon Musk under investigation by US agency for $44bn takeover of Twitter
If a penalty is "worth it", it's a business decision, not a penalty. Add a zero or two if you want it to work as intended.

Amazon Anti Union propaganda
The "effective due" is probably even negative because the extra money they'll fight for will be more than the due.

No trash, happy people, everyone minding their own business. That must really piss of the conservatives.

Usually a "call to arms" is where freedom of speech ends.

Steam Deck killers be like
Imho, the Steam Deck will be the only one with a really long product lifetime. Simply because Valve's main business is selling games, not consoles. The Deck makes people buy more/different games. Worked on me. I haven't played much in the last decade because I was too tired to play at my PC after work. Now I can play everywhere. Couch, bed, car, .. Basically every other manufacturer makes money exactly once by selling such a console. As soon as their marketing is done with it, they'll release a new revision and you won't see a single software update for the old model ever again.

You're not safe from Google though. And that's quite a big backdoor if you're a target of interest.

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately

Once you slightly climb the career ladder, vocabulary turns into marketing bs. Suddenly you most not say "problem" anymore. They're "opportunities" or "challenges". So at that level you don't get "fired" because that would sound bad for the next company you're going with. You're looking for new challenges elsewhere. Leaving behind a dumpster fire like in this very case.

I like the web app more.
I like the 20$ app-free version. Sounds like a solid business idea 🤔.

[DE] Rund 500.000 Fahrräder werden jedes Jahr gestohlen. Die Aufklärungsquote mickrig. Dabei ist das Fahrrad für viele das Hauptverkehrsmittel für Familie, Alltag und Beruf.

Wenn Interesse da wäre könnte man wenigstens verhindern, dass innerhalb der EU geklaute Fahrräder ohne größere Hürden verkauft werden können. Internationale Datenbank mit als gestohlen gemeldeten Rahmennummern, Kontrollen auf Gebrauchradmärkten und vielleicht auch hier und da mal ein oaar Stichproben im Verkehr oder bei geparkten Rädern. Frei verfügbare App mit der man den Status von Rahmennummern selbst prüfen kann. Wenn die Räder einmal im Ausland angekommen sind wird's natürlich schwer.
Das ist wohl alles Wunschdenken. Aber etwas mehr als "ich schreibs auch ein Stück Papier und werfe es in ein paar Tagen weg" wäre schön wünschenswert.

What is the worst customer service experience you've ever had?
AirAsia. This airline is basically scam. If anything goes wrong, there are no humans to talk to anymore. Only chatbots. No hotline and not even email support. They just keep your money, even if it's 100% their fault. The chatbot is as unhelpful as it gets.

Usually they don't allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it's basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don't just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.

The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.
In many countries, schools only care about grades. I was pretty good at getting good grades by understanding what will be tested and minimizing the effort to get there. I would've totally used ChatGPT to do my homework.
