However much shit Trump may talk about Netanyahu, I bet US weapons shipments to Israel go uninterrupted.

Windows 11 ships with two versions of Outlook. There is Outlook Classic, the long-running Win32 desktop app built for power users, and there is the new Outlook, which Microsoft is pushing as the future of email on Windows. The newer one is built on WebView2 and is, in essence, a browser window that loads Outlook.com.

Old Outlook downloads all your stuff when you sync, so it’s immediately available when you try to look at it. New Outlook just being a wrapper around a website probably means it’s asking the server for things as you select them.

Still need something to get the plunder to the TV.

This is the same Fox that owns Fox News. So now Roku’s advertising push can include a side of misinformation.

Hopefully?

Yes, I hope the fighters get paid with actual money they can use to pay any medical expenses that result from the fights.

The UFC said some fighters will receive bonuses in World Liberty Financial crypto called “stablecoins”, whose value is pegged to the US dollar. World Liberty named the currency “USD1”.

It says the crypto is being used for bonuses. That suggests they are also getting other pay, hopefully with actual money.

“This sounds like advertising,” Todd Phillips, an expert in crypto at the Klaros Group, told the Guardian. He said “Paying the fighters in the USD1 stablecoin would have the same economic function as writing them a check but announcing to the world they are doing it in USD1 sounds like they are adverting to the world that USD1 is out there and that it is connected to the UFC and the White House.

I still have mine. It has an FM receiver and runs off a AAA battery, so it’s handy for listening to the radio for updates during a big power outage.

The article links to a local one with much more detail.

Assistant District Attorney Charles Robinson minced no words in the opening remarks of his argument.

“We’re talking about an elected public official who had sex with a child at a children’s birthday party,” Robinson said, noting the party was for a child turning 15.

[Defence Attorney] Johnson made a remark about the victim’s age, telling Judge Savoie, “The fact that this case was a couple of months away from not being a crime is a valid point to me, Judge.” He repeated the point later, saying, “Less than two months and it would have been massively inappropriate but not a crime.”

She will serve her 90 days in jail and, upon release, will be required to undergo regular drug screenings and psychological therapy. Her two five-year suspended sentences will remain in place and can be activated if she violates the terms of her release.

Just in time for the SpaceX IPO. Let’s see if they can scare away some money.

This is where the “nobody needs AI to search the internet” part comes from (emphasis mine):

Historically, any potentially harmful content surfaced by search engines has been protected from direct liability because that surfacing was considered largely unavoidable when helping users sort through an enormous tangle of information online. But the German court emphasized that AI search engines do not enjoy those same protections because AI summaries merely provide “an additional function—one without which the use of the search engine would still be (and is) possible, and without which users are perfectly capable of finding results amidst the ‘flood of data.’”

I’m surprised Southern Baptists allowed women pastors in the first place.

The court caught that too:

The court also seemed to take a dig at Google for expecting users not to “blindly trust” AI overviews, noting that the AI tool’s utility “would be significantly diminished if the ‘AI overview’ were generally regarded as unreliable and if every single displayed link required independent verification.”

Hegseth may not understand what D-Day was about

In a perplexing speech Saturday commemorating the World War II D-Day landings in Normandy, France, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called for European leaders to combat what he implied was a second, modern D-Day—in which European countries were being “stormed by different dangerous ideologies” accompanied by “boats and men.”

The original D-Day was the Allied invasion to liberate France from Nazi German domination: the defenders were Hitler’s National Socialists and their army, and the “dangerous ideology” was anti-fascism.

Hegseth may have been confused—or, then again, we might be at the stage where our government explicitly aligns us with Nazism. After all, every single refugee we admitted to the US this year was supposedly fleeing anti-white persecution.

They’ll move to another service, the service’s expenses will spike, and then that service will switch to usage based billing, and then they’ll have to look for another service again, and repeat the loop until they can run a good enough model locally.

They should just make it the default and add a subdomain for AI instead.

Trump may cancel 250th U.S. anniversary concerts after artists drop out, give speech instead

U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday he’s considering cancelling ‌a series of concerts commemorating the country’s 250th anniversary after ​a number of artists ​dropped out, and he may give a speech instead.

Trump said on the social media platform Truth Social that he ​was considering giving a speech ⁠and rally instead, and called ⁠himself “the Number One Attraction anywhere in ⁠the ⁠World, ​the man who gets much ​larger audiences ⁠than Elvis in his prime and he does so without a guitar,” referring to the late Elvis Presley.

If you’re not ready to quit your job, at least if you get caught in a round of layoffs you’ll have enough savings to not need to bother looking for a new job.

They lifted an injunction blocking the maps a couple of weeks ago without much explanation, so they’re probably going to be pissy about the lower court not reading their minds.

The people who use “plummet” to describe a 1% drop.
