- A federal district court in California has ruled that Facebook, Google, TikTok, and Snapchat have to face lawsuits alleging that they are running social networks. (The Verge)
The plaintiffs claim that the social networks have deleterious and addictive effects on children, which seems plausible because social networks have deleterious and addictive effects on everyone, because they're social networks.

- An in-depth review of the new AMD model of HP's Pavilion Plus 14. (Notebook Check)
I'm typing this on last year's Intel-based Pavilion Plus 14. Great screen, good keyboard, pretty fast CPU (12700H), Intel integrated graphics, and 16GB soldered RAM which is the only major shortcoming.
This new version has a Ryzen 7840U. That offers about the same CPU performance - a bit better on multi-threaded tests - and twice the graphics performance.
At as little as half the power consumption.
And since HP also increased the battery size this year, battery life has jumped from eight hours to sixteen.
All they need to do is offer 32GB of RAM and it would be perfect.
- Rivian released a software update for its electric vehicles on Monday, which bricked the onboard infotainment systems, affecting literally dozen of customers. (Electrek)
The cars might need physical servicing to restore them to normal operational state, because everything is awful.
- Is there some law of nature requiring that websites proposing radical redesigns of the web must look terrible? (Camen Design)
Or is it some kind of alien conspiracy?
Or both?

I see Cory Doctorow is giving speeches, up there on the podium by himself, in a mask.

Ah, Doctorow. The established author, who can get (basically) any bullshit he writes published, crowdfunding a book on internet scams. To quote Miranda: "O brave new world that has such people in't!"

Not so much irony as nickely.
