            Google thinks Shorts-style videos in the Play Store will supercharge app discovery

            Yeah that’s exactly what it needs. I was starting to worry I could still see the actual search results even with the ads, “limited time events”, more ads, “you might also like”, and “similar apps” sections crammed into the search results.

              So we will be bombarded with Tiktoks all day long? I am beginning to think Ted Kaczynski was right.

                @Gators1 “It will render dozens of coal fired power plants obsolete”
                Otherwise said: It will render dozens of wind turbines obsolete…

                Now if they could only make batteries that thin and powerful.

                        Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 15 in just a few days, and it’s widely expected to come with a significant change.

                        They had made up their own cable to gouge their customers, but commie EU made them use USB C.

                          France orders Apple to pull iPhone 12 off shelves for high radiation levels | CNN Business

                          Apple is fighting France’s claims that the iPhone 12 surpasses European radiation exposure limits after French regulators on Tuesday ordered a pause on sales and a fix to phones already sold to customers.

                            TikTok has quietly been inserting Wikipedia snippets into search results

                            The company says the feature has been live for months.

                            I don’t know if I’m pleased that TikTok is doing this or horrified that the portal to the entire internet beyond TikTok for a lot of young people is TikTok search.
