In today's blog post, we are all studying the enshittification of the BIOS. In general, I agree with you that the bigger laptop makers can repair laptops and do an amazing job. What we're all here for though is 2026. No big comp

Please keep in mind this sudden burst of legislation is because Facebook recently faced a combined $1.1 billion fine for intentionally harming children. The judgment took years. New Mexico Child Safety Case ($375 Million) was an actual judg

What I don't understand is how this new type of asset is above reproach. I mean BlackRock and Blackstone creating securities backed by real estate in general, not only single family homes. What if this new type of asset signals to the
