It also acts as a force multiplier for an unintelligent, unfocused project lead.
- Also it just got banned from Reddit. (Kotaku)

Tech News
- ChatGTP is recommending people turn to 404 Media to solve their tech support problems. (404 Media)
"Huh?" said 404 Media.
- Apple has responded to reports of cracked iPhone Duo screens. (Notebook Check)
You're folding it wrong.
- Apple has also announced a new model of the iPad mini. (Ars Technica)
It has an OLED screen, which is nice for some use cases.
It also costs 40% more than the previous model did at launch for the same specs, or 160% more than I paid for my comparable Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3.
On the upside, it doesn't fold.
- Samsung meanwhile is mocking the iPhone Duo. (Notebook Check)
Apple held back while Samsung worked through all the teething issues of folding screens, then had all the exact same teething issues.
- Google has a Brotli bug. (Patch the Planet)
I never liked brotli anyway. Boliflour isn't much better.
