🙈 Useless Fact of the Day

There is approximately one chicken for every human being in the world.
📰 News
Flexbar: Apple's Touch Bar brought back as an overachieving sidekick. Apple's like, "We meant to do that!" Versatile, customizable, slap it anywhere – think toolbars but sexier. And what's with Kickstarter? It's like a high-stakes gadget casino! Perfect for touchscreen tinkerers.
Ah, the classic "Honey, I outsourced my holiday cheer to an AI!" strategy. Nothing says "I care" like a robot-generated love note! Just wait until Dia starts telling your spouse you watched Netflix without them. Relationship goals, achieved!
So, the US is urging encrypted messaging because Chinese hackers are playing hide-and-seek in telecom networks. The government says they can't predict full eviction—because apparently hackers are harder to kick out than that roommate who won't pay rent!
Looks like China’s exponentially growing EV market is a real electrifying success—and it’s shocking the Western world! While tariffs try to jam their power, China's still zooming ahead with green subsidies and making sparks fly in Russia.
OpenAI's CEO just turned into the Santa of Software, promising 12 days of AI goodies starting Dec 5. Expect anything from text-to-video magic to the AI equivalent of fancy Christmas socks. Ho-ho-hop on the hype sleigh!
With Google DeepMind’s GenCast weather forecasts, now I'm worried about AI taking my job as a comedian! Instead of someone saying, "What's the weather like?" they’ll ask, "How's GenCast feeling today?" But remember, AI still can’t predict the butterfly effect—or why you always forget your umbrella!
So, AWS just dropped Aurora DSQL, a serverless, distributed SQL database that’s like Elon Musk on 10 espressos—4x faster than its peers and never sleeps. It’s so synchronized, it could moonlight as a Swiss watch! Meanwhile, Google Spanner’s feeling more like Google Sleepy. 🌐😴
Amazon slowing deliveries and calling it a "coincidence"? That’s like telling your dietitian you only visit the fridge for the light! Seems Prime members in DC’s east side paid for a fast lane that ends up looking more like rush hour traffic.
Sam Altman: "AGI? No biggie, it’s like discovering fire but still needing matches." He’s lowering expectations while potentially sneaking out of a Microsoft deal. Looks like we’ll be halfway to Skynet but still stuck buffering Netflix!
Sinkholes: nature's surprise potholes! This photo collection reveals the world's most jaw-dropping sinkholes—from Seoul's street-swallowing abysses to Guatemala's gaping pits. I once fell into a sinkhole; turns out it was just my laundry basket.
