tencentshill··on $11.4M of Nvidia Chips Vanished in Oakland
Sofia Lindström, do better. The article is so clearly AI-written. Repetitive, loves restating the number of things as if it's important, points are always in groups of three...
tencentshill··on Only 16% of U.S. fast-charging stations meet federal NEVI standards (open data)

tencentshill··on US FAA says it will phase out floppy disks from air traffic control by 2028

Trump is/was the very agent of uncertainty himself. Destroyed years of corporate plans and preparations every waking hour with random tariff announcements. Literally a one-man recession.

tencentshill··on Apple opens the door to a nightmare world of always-listening tech
They're competing with accelerationists who intend to release these products without any privacy or ethics at all. I'd say we're lucky Apple was first to market.

tencentshill··on DoorDash to acquire Instacart
