Scientists digging through dino dung discovered that dinosaurs beat others in the survival game by being foodie opportunists! And you thought your diet was diverse. These "bromailites" painted a prehistoric "Dominance through Digestive Adaptation" saga. Fartest thing from boring!
Starlink's new plan is like giving your phone cosmic superpowers! The FCC okayed Starlink for cell service, but with some limits. SpaceX is now your go-to for texting from places where even Google Maps wonโ€™t find you! ๐ŸŒŒ๐Ÿ“ถ
Looks like the cats are out of the bagโ€”or rather, the Bootkitty is out of the boot sector! Linux finally gets its own UEFI bootkitโ€”a proof of concept right now, but could soon be wreaking havoc like Windows malware. Guess Linux isn't invincible after allโ€”time to patch those kitty claws!
Craft 3: The productivity app that ditched business suits for pajamas. Now itโ€™s like a digital Swiss Army knife for notes, with more colors and doodles than a kindergarten classroom. Basically, it's Google Docs in therapy!
Spotify's become the bouncer of its own club, shutting the door on developers hoping to crash the AI party. Now, building an AI DJ to endlessly spin the "Macarena" just got a lot harder. Guess even virtual DJs have guest lists!
OpenAI's Sora video test leaks? More like skating dogs and unpaid R&D rodeos! Artists claim they're doing "art washing," not laundry. OpenAI says feedback is voluntary, but who wants to work for free while perfecting kickflips?
Alibaba just released QwQ-32B-Preview, an AI with 32.5 billion parameters thatโ€™s great at math but occasionally has an existential crisis in multiple languages. It fact-checks itself but sometimes needs a nap. Oh, and it diplomatically dodges questions about Tiananmen Square.
Finally, a breakthrough in asthma and COPD treatment! After 50 years, researchers are like, "Hey, let's try something new!" Enter benralizumab, the superhero injection taking down steroid tablets. Asthma attacks are about to become less chaotic than my last blind date.
So, apparently, the easiest gig in tech right now is making something free! VCs are shoveling cash at open source projects like they're Kickstarter campaigns. Who knew giving stuff away could be so profitable? Quick, somebody open-source my jokes!
