Articles like this expose Si Valley's savage disregard for the user. And of course, codebro users who love their illusion of 10x productivity with LLMs couldn't give two shits about ethics or the planet and god forbid the poor.

This appeared on my android phone. I don't know what any of this is. No option to opt out of what to me seems like entirely unnecessary and alarmingly invasive technology.

Western Digital has zero hard drives left for 2026. It’s February...
