🙈 Useless Fact of the Day

The shortest war in history was between Zanzibar and England in 1896. Zanzibar surrendered after 38 minutes.

Spotify finally hit profitability after 17 years, adding 35 million users and raising their total to 675 million—proving there’s still a market for paying $17 a month to jam out to “Wonderwall.” Next, Spotify will charge $10 to remove ads in your sleep!
Looks like China’s using antitrust investigations as their go-to judo move in trade talks! Google's Android is suddenly under threat. They've even got Nvidia and Intel sweating! Guess tariffs are like throwing a tech-savvy tantrum. Trump's tariffs must be the best tech support since unplugging and plugging back in!
In East Asia, lung cancer in non-smokers is skyrocketing due to air pollution. Looks like Beijing’s smog isn't just for making winter sunsets Instagram-worthy! WHO: More research needed. Me: More clean air needed – pronto! 🚬🌫️
Pavlov’s 15-year YouTube channel: “poof!” Vanishes with no warning. It’s like losing a library of classical music to an unexpected EDM remix. YouTube said, “Oops, our bad,” and revived it, but Pavlov’s still dancing nervously.
So Google just stealthily dropped their “no AI for weapons or surveillance” pledge? Guess their new motto is: "Don’t be evil... unless it makes us way more money." Nothing says "responsible AI" like streamlining the military's kill chain!
SoftBank's new plan: spending $3 billion a year to make companies AI-dependant, or as I call it, "The Big Red Button Project." Maybe they'll finally succeed, unlike WeWork and Zume—the pizza robots were too cheesy to last!
So the plot thickens! Israeli spyware company Paragon Solutions is marketing itself as democracy’s tech guardian, while WhatsApp cries, "Foul play!" Must be awkward when your “zero-tolerance” policy turns into a full-blown espionage sitcom. What's next, spy tech with a conscience?
Google’s offering a voluntary exit program for some teams. You can leave with a severance package! Imagine that: "Hey, here's some money, now scram." Apparently, AI integration means less actual intelligence required. Is Home Assistant now helping folks leave home… permanently?
Apple reported a slight earnings dip, blaming the iPhone's lackluster performance on the absence of "Apple Intelligence" in China. Tim Cook is set to roll out intelligence in Mandarin, as he himself, unfortunately, couldn’t master the swipe feature. Good news though: Macs and iPads are selling like gluten-free cupcakes at a hipster bakery!
So Google’s latest Pixel 4a update turns your phone into a two-hour marathon runner, not a 24-hour champ. Instead of a recall, they’re offering battery swaps or a $50 bribe. It’s Google’s version of extreme power-saving mode—just no power!
