Top Story

Tech News
- Kodak may soon face bankruptcy after more than 130 years in business. (USA Today)
Which comes as a surprise to those of us who thought... It already was?
- Russia has started to block voice calls made using WhatsApp and Telegram. (AP News)
I'm surprise it took them so long.
- Is AI really trying to escape human control and blackmail people? (Ars Technica)

Musical Interlude
Disclaimer: Under this busy shopping street in Japan there's more than 80 hidden restaurants and I'm trying every one of them. Out of my comfort zone I go in completely blind.
