Also, it reminded me that we’re doing picnics wrong - I remember a historian talking about them.

Check out Fulnam’s hamper:
The Derby Hamper became a thing of magnificent conspicuous consumption. For 12 people, Fortnum’s packed 12 bottles of champagne; six bottles of French white wine, six bottles of German white wine; two bottles of brandy and six bottles of seltzer. To soak up some of that liquid, there were 12 lobsters – one each for the attendees – alongside lobster salad; pigeon pies, a jellied boar’s head, a boiled ham, bread rolls, cheeses, butter wrapped in lettuce leaves to keep it fresh, and hot house peaches. It may also have included a certain speciality of ours you may recognise – the Scotched Egg – which predates the fashion for picnics in Britain by nearly a century. Created in the 1730s as a traveller’s snack, this pocket sized…

Just trying to search for a headline, not have my screen filled up with made up bullshit.
Google AI hallucinations: “The phrase "Unkissed Girl Sought by Rube Waddell" is a playful or perhaps even a slightly scandalous reference to the eccentric personality of baseball legend Rube Waddell. It plays on his reputation as a wild card, both on and off the field. Why the Phrase is Used: Rube Waddell's Eccentricity: Waddell was known for his unconventional behavior, often described as a "showman" or a "wild card" according to Wikipedia. He was a highly skilled pitcher, but his personal life was often equally, if not more, noteworthy. A Touch of Mystery and Intrigue: The phrase "Unkissed Girl" adds a touch of romantic intrigue, suggesting a pursuit or a desire that was not easily met. It's a phrase that hints at a less-than-conventional romantic interest. Humor and Lightheartedness: The phrase is used in a lighthearted or humorous way, perhaps to highlight Waddell's unconventional side and his impact on baseball history according to BallNine. In Summary: The phrase "Unkissed Girl Sought by Rube Waddell" is a colorful and humorous way to describe the eccentric nature and reputation of baseball player Rube Waddell. It plays on his persona as a wild card and hints at a romantic pursuit that may have been unconventional. AI responses may include mistakes. Learn more” The mistake is the whole thing

It already was enabled by default - and a bad choice. They are now advertising it and helping users set it up by default - another bad choice IMHO, but I find it surprising so many experts are acting like it was a new thing.

This setting lets you block users from signing in with a Microsoft account to sync their personal OneDrive files. By default, users are allowed to sync personal OneDrive accounts. If you enable this setting, users are prevented from setting up a sync relationship for their personal OneDrive account. Users who are already syncing their personal OneDrive when you enable this setting can't continue syncing (they receive a message that syncing has stopped), but any files synced to the computer remain on the computer.
