"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?
If you're not paying you are the product. If you ARE paying you are STILL the product. This is how big tech works.

Apple couldn’t tell fake iPhones from real ones, lost $2.5M to scammers
"These counterfeit phones, Cohen said, were either out of warranty or contained counterfeit parts, but Apple "wrongly" believed that they were real phones under real warranties"
So not counterfeit. Just real iPhones that were out of warranty or has been repaired by a third party.

"Far left" activists unveiling poster of a googlyeye lettuce.
Far right activists burning down hotels housing refuges; looting bakeries for sausage rolls.

Raw Milk Enthusiasts Demand Milk Infected With H5N1
Let me guess. These are the same people who refuse vaccines with miniscule mortality rates, but are demanding milk infected with a virus that has more than a 50% mortality rate in humans? 🤔
Also, how is intentional getting infected to aquire immunity better than doing nothing at all? I mean, just don't worry about it. If you get infected then you're either dead or immune, and if you don't get infected you didn't need that immunity anyway. Plus, you've saved money by not buying your weirdo raw cow juice.

I'm going to guess that they didn't. And Josh just said whatever he had to to meet his sales target for the month.

Russia renamed its ambitious satellite program after Putin misspoke its name

Bad bot. You skipped the main part:
"At first it was called Ehfir," Putin said. "And at one of my public speeches I was talking and said it was Sfera. I arrived at the Kremlin, and the former Roscosmos head greeted me and said, 'Vladimirovich, you said it was project Sfera, Sfera you said. That's what it is, project Sfera.'"

Bad bot. You've removed most of the meat of the article. TL:DR - Oversized components and cheap solder cause weak connections and make the drives prone to breaking. It also impacts 2GB and 3GB drives.

Doctor Who fans react hilariously to ‘underwhelming’ reveal in ‘disappointing’ finale
I've read that article and I don't see anything that could be considered hilarious. Imagine spending 3 or 4 years at University studying journalism or media studies to end up spending 5 minutes of a Saturday trawling the cesspit of xitter to cobble together 250 words of dross based on the ramblings of vacuous attention seekers.
