5:10 - SpaceX Stock Plunges to All-Time Low After Competitor Makes Major Leap
5:59 - Elon Musk quietly buys a $1 billion gas turbine company to power Grok
NO! Elon Musk CANNOT be expected to handle Nuclear Materials Ethically and/or Responsibly. And we know he's racist in addition to skirting regulations. I'd imagine he would spend the BARE MINIMUM to do what he wants and damn the communities who live near and around his projects.
6:55 - Elon Musk’s Colossus 2 data center installed 59 natural gas turbines without permission, report claims — thousands of tons of pollutants reportedly impact black communities in Mississippi already suffering from elevated lung disease rates

9:27 - Truck Drivers Allegedly Ramming Flock Safety Cameras To Destroy Them
11:01 - Third-party app stores coming to Google Play next week as Epic settlement withdrawn
Wendell I am surprised you fell into the group saying no fiber had been rolled out. While the bill indeed passed 3 years ago, you more than your regular person should know you don't pass a bill and immediately roll trucks. I am in a rural area and they just showed up like ants and boom fiber. It takes years for planning, design, equipment acquisition, hiring of contractors, right of way permits, etc.
11:46 - Microsoft announces major Windows 11 search overhaul that prioritizes clearer, local results, and removes ads: Huge effort to fix search on Windows is finally happening

16:20 - StubHub, CEO hit with 'deceptive practices' class action over mass scalping
17:27 - Google Images gets a Pinterest-like redesign focused on discovery
Maybe it's because I'm in Europe but the start menu on W11 works great for me. It's fast (even faster than the Power Tools Command Palette) and always shows me what I want. It's been this way ever since I first tried W11 back in the day lol Then again I've seen euros complain so I wonder what the difference maker here is. My sky high IQ perhaps? (joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
18:26 - The Death of the Status Update: Why 55% of Americans Stopped Posting on Social Media
20:43 - Meta removes controversial AI feature on Instagram after backlash
I love that the universal reaction to discovering the mouse jiggle enlarger is to have a mouse pointer that takes up half the screen after a full minute of shaking it.
21:36 - Meta says US states are seeking $1.4 trillion in penalties in August youth safety trial

26:43 - Meta now alerts parents if their teen discussed suicide or self-harm with its AI chatbot
28:29 - From Financial Advice to Bloodshed: Stock YouTuber…
22:09 No, kids do not go insane on sugar.
A study where mothers were told their children received sugar when they actually got a placebo—demonstrated the power of expectancy bias. Since then, numerous double-blind, placebo-controlled trials and comprehensive meta-analyses (including those examining kids with ADHD or parent-reported sugar sensitivities) have consistently yielded the same result.

I finally took the leap and installed Bazzite in an attempt to remove Microsoft from my gaming ecosystem. There's a small drop in performance, but I think that's a more than fair trade for getting rid of some lazy middlemen. I hope Microsoft enjoyed resting on their laurels, because I'm hoping that time is quickly coming to a close for them. Honestly, I'd like to see them go completely under, XBox and all. Everyone is up in arms about that situation, but games aren't going anywhere, just hopefully the corporations that are apparently trying to ruin the industry with their end stage capitalist avarice.

@6:20 Did Ryan seriously just make a statement based on the notion that Musk literally has a trillion dollars in the bank?!
Thank you for watching!

My soul is very happy with the return of dark Krista. Be the bugs!

Sony Playstation is a theme park. You pay to enter. You are not allowed to take the rides home. Sometimes a ride needs to be decommissioned.

6:55 Methane (natural gas) generators do not spew pollution. The waste product of burning methane is WATER and CO2. Also small amounts of nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide are produced. 20 years ago EVERYONE knew this! Methane is the cleanest fuel!
Nobody in MS is getting sick or dying from breathing CO2 or nitrogen.
I'd delete my FB profile completely if not for the simple fact that it's what my daughter uses and is the primary way we talk. It's so full of AI slop. It is a waste of perfectly good bandwidth and storage.
@Raintiger88No auto-play/infinite-scroll? LOL.... UK's own border has been on auto-play and infinite-scroll for over a decade now.
@Ghis1964sWe don't have ads in EU in Windows 11, so the code already exists :D
@biostud666When Elon and other billionaires get "government" money it's your tax money used for trickle up economy, take from the poor and give to the rich.
@biostud666I saw footage of the wire caught booster after the fact & the booster was swinging wildly. I don't like elon, but his method of catching boosters is better, it may require more precision, but the fact that they can achieve that precision also means it's more advanced than the chinese counterpart.
@Bill-lt5qfLiberal1 Links with Komrads!
@lilblackduc73125:40 I'm sorry, but it's such a turkey. It's like watching everyone still using coal when there's a river right beside you.
2 stage rocket designs are antiquated and wasteful. I don't know if they all got together and decided, lets play the privatization game of crippling aerospace technology in favour of low R&D costs and planned obsolescence.
19:22 was that the website making the cursor bigger? Because it is also a KDE feature to increase your cursor until you can find it again
@ShalmonifySounds something like corporate death penalty, META.
@questingfather83The better solution is to regulate how many ads per day a user can be served. It will break the link between revenue and engagement, reverse it even, after they've served you your daily quota of ads you're not earning them any money anymore!
@richarddavis260524:02 no infitite scroll isn't "pagination", it's "I've seen everything from people I am friends with or follow". The content needs to end!
@richarddavis2605Installed Bazzite for the first time yesterday. I deleted windows.
@MrJohnS.If buying isn't ownership, piracy isn't theft.
@GeezerGeekThe background amazes me again! It hugs and hurts my brain so good.
@sauntor#192. For the algorithm 😊
@jonnycoutinhoOn FB mobile — hit the Friends tab at the bottom. Still as curated as ever but don’t look at the default screen! lol. People completely miss that’s there and are shocked when I show it to them. 😂
@NatesRandomVideoIt's funny how this has become my wake up news show lately lol
@jaybirdius@10:25 : 🎵...And the Batmobile broke its' wheel, because it drove over a flock camera, hey!🎶
@schtive81If you take financial advice from a Youtuber, you deserve to lose your money.
It's like those morons who bought NFTs or crypto, only to lose everything they had a moment later, because obviously.
Removing equipment that is unauthorized and improperly installed, that was ruled unconstitutional and illegal by multiple court systems is not a crime.
@jakehutchens19:14 Ya it does ;)
@Sommyie2:37 dont take the front off the ram needs it to have the correct airflow
@t803586World of warcraft has wrongfully banned 5 of my accounts. They were closed rather, not suspeneded or warned, just lumped in with the drag net cause i had long consecutive play hours, but i was never checked in game at all and often reported ACTUAL bots and griefers. Literally couldn't get in contact with a actual human until i had sent repeated tickets and they essentially told me to go pound sand. I had asked them to tell me what I did to warrant having my account closed without any violations and it was always a boilerplate response, one time even the part where theyre supposed to insert their little work name they use as a game master and it was blank as if they just selected the right template and fireed it off. This was almost 3 years ago and I raised hell for like 4 months on their twitter, the forums... civil at first then just basically getting the poison out. They have more employees working to police and 'manaage' their forums than people actually working to maintain the game/servers. It's basically a turn key operation. Felt like extortion and theft to me since i had spent a lot of time on those accounts/characters as well as the fact that they could never tell me what I did wrong. Two of the bans reasons were listed as cheating. then upon getting a real reponse follow up to one of the ticket threads they responded but they said they checked with their hacking team and confirmed the findings of the offense but listed it as something other than cheating but like eco manipulation which even if that was true youd never in all the time ive seen and heard from others get instantly closed as opposed to a temporary ban or some kind. It was always instant account closure and it always coincided with ban waves on bots. So that story about the xbox acccount.. I hope it gets some engagement cause they were shocking testing the fuck out of me and other subscription/mmos. Figure out how much can they abuse the customers until they actually see a drop in revenue. It basically ruined playing that last last little bit i did since my guild who i was tanking for had to like replace me and it was just complete bullshit. They used to actually have to do some kind of verification AND WOULD SHOW YOU THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR OFFENSE. Now its literally na just put a vanguard of bots and prompts in front of them to buy time and play on the addictive properties of the game and how it can be a bit consuming.. but i mean ... is this not like some kind of illegal buisness practice? I would suggest people call their credit card holders and do back charges on ANYTHING these currency goblins try to infringe on. Make them drown in their bueracratic bullshit. Sorry for the essay... but this has been a thing for a while. Consumer rights need to be reinforced or regulation neeeds to be enhanced with some degreee of nuance or understanding that THESE COMPANIES HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO RIGHT BY THEIR END USERS AND ARE CLEARLY ABUSING THE FACT THAT THESE PURCHASES ARE VIEWED AS LESS IMPORTANT . DONT BE FOOLED, IF WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS THEY WILL INCORPORATE IT INTO EVERY FACET OF LIFE THEY CAN. VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET AND YOUR TIME. CHEEERSx2
@DillSturkolMother said not to say anything if I got nothing nice to say but it's hard 😂😂
@deminybsI won't run windows 10/11 without OO software shutout 10. It fixes all of the search, removes the ads, and keeps them off.
You should absolutely do a video on it. Only thing it seemingly can't remove in the paid version is global install id.
The cameras are often times violating zoning laws with their distance from the road and the method of construction. WE own them not the cops, they simply have the contract to use them on us. xd
@DillSturkol0:12 July twenty Suck-It lol
@Aloha_XEROPeople are not being sophisticcated enough with their destruction of Flock hardware. Y'allknow you can just laser them right? Crime up and get your blinding lasers, the use an eye-safe laser to aim before shooting the blinder. No camera means no effectiveness.
@bluephreakrData center in Tennessee, turbines in Mississippi.
