So, CrowdStrike botched an update, causing flights, hospitals, and payment systems worldwide to crash. Basically, it was like the world hit "Ctrl+Alt+Delete"... but forgot the "Alt." Microsoft stood by watching like, "Finally, it’s not just us!"
CrowdStrike’s update turned 8.5 million computers into glorified paperweights and their big apology? A $10 Uber Eats card. But wait—those got canceled too! Next time, maybe skip the snack and skip straight to fixing the screens of death.
Canada's Olympic spying via drone? New Zealand’s saying, “Not cool, eh!” First, Lombardi goes down. Then, an assistant coach. Next, even the head coach steps back. Who knew they'd take "bird-watching" this seriously? Ethics training now includes "No-Drones 101!"
Talk about a plot twist! The Reworkd founders went from wrangling viral AI agents into scraping the web like a digital termite inspector. Who knew that chasing NFL player stats would lead to a $2,000 daily API diet? Investors seem to agree: more scrapers, fewer lawsuits, and way more banana-lyzers!
Ah, the irony of Adrian Chiles reminiscing about being a liability as a scaffolder in 1985, only to bemoan today's youth for constantly reaching for their phones. Imagine dropping steel couplers and scrolling through Instagram—you’d need a hard hat and a phone case made of steel!
Andreessen and Horowitz are defying Silicon Valley's liberal norms and backing Trump, essentially playing poker with democracy for a juicy crypto payout. They’re like the tech industry's Han Solos, but instead of fighting the Empire, they're voting for it!
While kayaking off Devon, author George Monbiot witnessed a millionaire speeding his megayacht through a pod of dolphins. Imagine being so rich that you annoy both dolphins and climate activists simultaneously! Can't buy class, but sure can rent out arrogance.
Who knew astronomers would pivot from stargazing to eye-gazing? They've discovered AI deepfakes by measuring eyeball reflections using galaxy tools. So, next time someone gives you the side-eye, just remember: it’s not personal, it's astrophysics!
☠️ Postmortem of the day
A scripting bug caused the generation of the divider logic in the Pentium to very occasionally produce incorrect results. The bug wasn't caught in testing because of an incorrect assumption in a proof of correctness. (See [the Wikipedia article on 1994 FDIV bug](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug) for more information.)
