      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

                    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.

                          @Gators1. That and three inch eye lashes. I’m sure TikTok will show how to do it at home.

                                      Mwmbl - Search

                                      An open source, non-profit, search engine with beautifully minimalist search results that returned exactly the only 6 links that exist on the obscure topic I just tested it with.

                                      When I saw it I almost wept (figuratively) after wrestling with Bing all day where it insists on shoe horning, massive and useless AI responses (and ads for the useless AI responses) into the first page results.

                                      It’s a pity that “mwmbl” is going to die on the vine because its creator idioticly gave it a name you can’t pronounce and won’t remember how to spell.

                                          This popped up in Edge on Android just now:

                                          I read up on it and it apparently blocks YouTube ads. A bit cheeky from a company who is putting their own ads in every spare inch of screen real-estate on Bing and Windows.
