Techy guy in Aus
You probably didn't think you were going to read an article about the inherent contradiction in the politics of the owner of Prada today, but if you give this a chance you'll find yourself fascinated: https://www.blackbirdspyplane.com/p/miuccia-prada-is-worth-4-point-5-billion
Ketan JoshiIt is persistently fascinating to me that rapid data centre expansion threatens the *exact* same type of blackout related to the 2016 South Australia blackouts that changed climate and energy politics essentially permanently in Aus
And it gets...........zero attention.
who among you is brave enough to take a guess what happened the last time tech companies made a voluntary pledge to protect the public from the harmful impacts of data centre over-development

Grumpy WebsiteJust saw a video that put Apple Music and Winamp next to each other, and it made me realize why Winamp feels so much simpler and approachable than modern UIs.
Its UI doesn’t change.
You click something, and... the UI stays the same. The song starts playing, but not a single pixel moves. There’s no relayout, nothing shrinks, nothing scrolls, nothing animates. It’s stable. It feels predictable. Safe.
Compare that to Apple Music. They played one song and went through three ... 1/3
Nick HeerWhy did Tim Cook draw attention — on an earnings call, no less — to one of the few passable Apple Intelligence features? It is impossible to say. https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/04/tim-cook-revealed-standout-ai-feature-for-users-and-its-rumored-to-get-even-better/

Great writeup. I think people just need go start accepting that the company they loved doesn’t exist anymore.
its like with the Ship of Theseus. If you replace all the parts (the people), is it still the same ship?
