- New York AG Letitia James is pushing for new regulations that would criminalise online speech that could be linked to a subsequent crime by another person. (Ars Technica)
Even the crazies at Ars Technica can see that this is a terrible idea and a massive First Amendment violation, and that if it took effect their own little hive mind wouldn't survive long.
Mostly. There's always a few.

- The Bigme Galy is an 8 inch Android tablet with a 300dpi display, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. (Liliputing)
And a pressure-sensitive pen that attaches magnetically to the side of the tablet.
And a 0.6Hz refresh rate, because it's a colour e-ink display, not LCD. Interesting device, but kind of niche, and at an expected RRP around $700 it's not something most people would buy in addition to a regular tablet.
- Intel has confirmed Thunderbolt TNG is in the works with speeds up to 120Gbps. (AnandTech)
Thunderbolt 3 and 4 both max out at 40Gbps, as does USB 4. USB 4 v2 and Thunderbolt TNG double the standard rate to 80Gbps in both directions, or alternately to 120Gbps out and 40Gbps back, for running super-duper high resolution monitors.
- Employees angry about being expected to work. (The Register)
No film at 11 because the camera crew were moonlighting as web designers.

Applied fairly, that would be a rule that could subsequently hang James, as well as a great many other lawyers and Democrats.
James has no intention of applying said rule fairly and purely intends it to be enforced in a partisan and capricious manner.
James is one of many lawyers who is an idiot about how far that they can blatantly abuse their privileges before the public behavior on which those privileges exist changes in response.

It's like the "stop asian hate" campaign that foundered on the whole "it's basically only one particular group that commits crinimal violence against asians (in the United States) but that group isn't white". Oh well, I guess we'll never know how to stop it

Normal, the media stopped reporting on it, so it must have stopped happening, right?
