They're selling large luggage, too large for the cabin, well inside the airport terminal in Milano. So you're supposed to buy it and then exit the terminal to check it in?

There seems to be a DOGE-themed ransomware attack going around these days.
Ransomware is when you open a file, usually received via phishing email, that encrypts your data.
Remember, there's no guarantee that you'll get your data back even if you choose to pay.

A Chinese company has created the "first flying car", even though it's been done before.
I can spot a few flaws. I once cut my hand pretty badly when trying to land a DJI Mini in my palm. Imagine what those rotors can do to a person.

According to the Trump administration's own formula, the tariffs should have been four times lower.
φ should have been closer to 1 - not 0.25 - for their formula to match the actual tariffs set.
So the high tariffs are a mistake?

I can't believe I got this iPod (4th generation) 20 years ago. Having 20 GB of music in your pocket was pretty wild at the time. Immediately transferred all my CDs via iTunes.

Here's my iPod 4th Gen. Got it at the same time as my PowerMac G5. Must have been like 20 years ago now.

Child mortality is somewhat also connected to fertility rate. If you bring down mortality rate, the less children will be born.
In the same period, the fertility rate dropped 36.3% (excl. China, as they had the one-child policy until 2015).

Shortcuts in macOS is one of the most exiting things I'm exploring.
Want to create a fully offline password generator? Just add 'Run Shell Script', copy the commands from the screenshot, add 'Copy to Clipboard' - and you've got a fresh new password every time.

#DeepSeek has obvious issues with censorship, both with their online service and the offline version.
Not saying other LLM's don't have issues, but this is ridiculous.

I let my bank handle my investments. A few months ago, they asked if I wanted to invest in their AI/tech portfolio. Hearing "AI," I declined, expecting a market bubble or disruption. Let's see how it unfolds.
