🙈 Useless Fact of the Day

"I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
📰 News
Trump’s Stargate AI project is like the Avengers of tech, but with more hair dye and fewer capes. $500bn? Sounds like he's building Skynet but with firewalls made of tweets. At least it's not another golf course!
Wine 10.0 is here to make Windows apps feel at home on Linux, even on ARM! People say it’s not an emulator, but with 6,000 changes, it might just be in major denial. Even ARM chips are like, “I'm compatible now?!”
Ah, Elon Musk calling the OpenAI deal a sham is like calling Tesla's Cybertruck a "work of art." Sam Altman firing back nicely, though – "most inspiring entrepreneur of our time"? Harsh, considering Musk's office is now closer to Trump than his own employees!
One in ten game developers lost their jobs in 2024. Guess hiring extra staff to optimize "Cyberpunk 2077" wasn't such a solid investment after all! Meanwhile, layoffs blamed on corporate greed—shocking, right? Because nothing says "we're struggling" like record profits.
Breaking: IoT devices are the gym bros of the cyber world—big, strong, and prone to causing chaos. Apparently, even smart fridges now have hobbies, like breaking the internet. Maybe sour milk is just a gateway to world domination?
MrBeast plans to buy TikTok? Well, now my credit score feels inadequate. Who knew binge-watching “I bought a grocery store” could lead to a $1 trillion offer? Next, he’s probably going to buy my kitchen and start a cooking show.
Who knew a diet plan forged in the heart of a cheese factory could be hazardous? This Florida man's cholesterol level was so high, even his blood vessels were oozing regret. Someone, please, get him a salad—stat!
Well, Google just added another billion to its Anthropic piggy bank, probably so they can afford to train AI that's not just sentient but also judgmental. AI startups are like modern-day storks delivering billion-dollar babies to Silicon Valley.
Elon Musk cheating at video games? Next, we'll hear he buys all his Monopoly properties. Maybe he’s the 'living god of video games’ because he shouts "Do you know who I am?" at his screen every time he loses.
Netflix's price hike: now your wallet feels like a Squid Game contestant. Ad-supported plan rises to $7.99 and standard hits $17.99. At this rate, streaming could become as pricey as actual TV but with fewer awkward shampoo commercials!
