Peter Thiel is leading investment in an ocean data center powered by waves—and the startup is reportedly worth $1 billion
I hope the salt water makes these ocean data centers impossible.

Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency

So true. I got fed up with all this Recall and AI BS and recently replaced Win 11 (which I upgraded to by accident) with PopOS. No issues so far and PopOS is much faster than Windows.

They could just take the money from fossil fuel subsidies. This way, you don’t give people a new reason to not get an EV and we reduce tax revenue used to support the fossil fuel industry.

Any good debloated TVs?
Reply in thread
Do research on smart devices before you decide to use one. Fire TV is filled with ads. Roku that’s built into TVs have ads; not sure about standalone boxes.

I just went straight to Mint as I had another PC running W11, which I rarely used. And then when I had to use it, W11 would always force me to download a ton of updates that had no positive effects on the PC. After dealing with this about 5 times, I just converted that W11 PC to Mint too, so I’m 100% Windows free now.

Meet Kit, your companion for a new internet era
At one point, we asked ourselves whether or not Kit should look more like a red panda (leading to a brief detour into red panda references).
In the end, we agreed that Kit isn’t a fox nor a red panda. Kit is a Firefox, its own creature — with attributes from both a fox and a red panda, and perhaps a little fire magic.
Just my 2 cents, but since Red Pandas are endangered, I would have preferred that the made Kit a Red Panda.

Zero Sievert doesn’t have any, but it’s a single player experience. Still a great game IMHO.

Senior European journalist suspended over AI-generated quotes
The publisher of the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf and the Irish Independent has suspended one of its senior journalists after he admitted using AI to “wrongly put words into people’s mouths”.
Just in case if you want to know which outlets are affected.

Last Ubisoft game I purchased was Rainbow Six Vegas. Great game, but nothing else after that has interested me.

Apple TV vs Firestick.
FireTV 4K is full of ads and is slow; also, the 3rd party apps vary greatly. Nebula crashes a lot, and Crunchyroll is a hot mess. I was thinking of replacing it with an Apple TV, but since I’d like a device for indie games and Honkai Star Rail, I’ve decided to get a mini PC instead. It’s arriving today, so I can’t tell you how it is, but price wise, it’s $185 and it runs on an Intel N100, so it’s energy efficient.

What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?
Lot of good recommendations, but i didn’t see anyone mention: Hell on Wheels X-men 97 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Batman the animated series Batman Beyond
I also want to mention Dexter, which was listed before but too low, so easily missed.

Have you tried Firefox or one of its offshoots like Librefox? They are surprisingly good at viewing and editing PDFs. Just drag the PDF into an empty tab. But I’m sure there are other ways to open them.
