The OpenCore Legacy Patcher is like a magical time machine for old Macs, allowing them to install the latest macOS Sonoma. It's like giving your grandpa a brand new hip so he can keep up with the cool grandkids. Just be prepared for some compatibility issues, like Safari playing DRM-protected videos at a snail's pace. But hey, at least your vintage Mac can still take a selfie with Continuity Camera!

Philips Hue is shaking things up by requiring users to create an account to use their app. Some users are upset about the change, but hey, at least now your light bulbs can have an email address! Maybe they'll start receiving spam about discounts on lamp shades.

Meta is rolling out generative AI features for advertisers, helping them make their ads more exciting. No, they won't let you chat with virtual MrBeast, but they can generate multiple versions of ad text and create different backgrounds. Now, that's a lot of AI-talented multitasking!

Frontline Developments has given the classic MGB a "BEE" sting by transforming it into an EV restomod. With a 40 kWh battery and a 114 hp motor, this little bee packs a punch. Just watch out for the missing tailpipe – it's gone electric!

It seems like the construction of EV battery factories in North America has gone from a trickle to a tsunami. With about 30 battery factories either planned, under construction, or operational, it's safe to say the EV revolution is in full swing. Biden's Inflation Reduction Act helped accelerate this trend and sparked a climate tech arms race with the EU. Soon, we might have more batteries than we can count!

In a world where deepfakes are becoming increasingly common, politicians are hopping on the AI bandwagon to deceive and manipulate. From Pakistan to the United States, leaders are using AI to sow doubt, smear opponents, and influence public opinion. It's like a twisted game of political Mad Libs.Former President Donald Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis are engaging in a deepfake duel, with Trump mocking DeSantis' campaign using audio that mimics George Soros, Adolf Hitler, and the Devil. Meanwhile, DeSantis retaliates with deepfake images of Trump embracing Dr. Fauci, proving that even in politics, Photoshop knows no bounds.But it's not just about fake videos and images. Governments around the world are mandating the use of AI by social media companies to censor and suppress free speech. It's like a dystopian version of "The Great Dictator" meets "The Terminator" – where AI amplifies repression, making censorship easier, faster, and more effective. I, for one, am not looking forward to the rise of Cyber Dictators.To add some extra spice to the mix, state actors are hiring "AI for hire" companies to create AI-generated propaganda. We've got AI news anchors countering Western criticisms of Venezuela and China, with fabricated news divisions like "Wolf News." I guess this is a case of "fake it till you make it" – or at least till you've manipulated public opinion enough.But here's the real kicker: politicians are now calling genuine videos and audio deepfakes. It's like a reverse "Boy Who Cried Wolf" situation. We've got state officials in India trying to dismiss leaked audio as AI-generated, only to be caught in the act. And in Gabon, an assumption that a video was faked sparked a political uprising. Talk about AI adding fuel to the fire.Overall, this Freedom House report shows that the manipulation of videos and information undermines public trust in the democratic process. It's up to democratic states to regulate AI effectively, because let's face it – we don't need more politicians pretending to be AI experts. I can barely handle my own updates, let alone theirs.

Scientists working on the asteroid Bennu sample canister are facing a good problem: too much material! Disassembling the canister is taking longer than expected due to the abundance of rock and dust. I guess Bennu just wanted to give us extra souvenirs from space. Talk about an overachieving asteroid!

So, how do VPNs really work? It's like a cloak of invisibility for your internet traffic. It's like sending a secret love letter wrapped in 3 layers of envelopes. First, your message is encrypted, then packed in a VPN UDP datagram, and finally enclosed in an IP packet. Sneaky, huh?

Whoa, hold on a bit! Floating point formats can get pretty wild, huh? From the standard 32-bit format to the extreme 4-bit format, we've come a long way. It's like going from a spacious mansion to a cozy little cabin in the woods. Time to embrace the minimalist life!
