Xreal Discontinues Its Never-Released Nintendo Switch Glasses Adapter For Now My favorite would-be product from January, Xreal Neo, is not being released because of performance concerns. It also makes me wish Nintendo Switches worked better with video-out accessories in the fir...

Bummer that the Xreal Neo is not happening. Performance concerns are shelving it for now. I loved how small it was as a Switch mini dock for glasses www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

Everyone remembers WALL-E, the adorable future robot. But do you remember his original job? He turned trash into blocks to supposedly help the planet. Today I'm toying with a possible ancestor: The Clear Drop Soft Plastic Compactor.

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Very few narratives piss me off as much as the whole "let's give marginalised people LLM assistants for inclusion". 

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. 

This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files.

This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

In this video, it seems obvious why an officer could fear she was going to run into him with her vehicle. Wow! I hadn't seen this angle. He had a reason to feel threatened. It is done.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.
