They really want us so scared about AI extinction, all while the environment is so fucked we're most likely gonna see a mass extinction event by the end of the century anyway.

AI development has made the situation so much worse that we may not even need to wait till 2100 anymore.

Newer IPS screens actually managed to close the gap almost entirely, to the point where I personally prefer them over most OLED screens. And I used to be a huge OLED fan.

You'll probably never get pure blacks on a non-OLED display, but good LCDs nowadays are so close you'll only notice the difference in a completely dark room. Which I think is more than good enough, considering potential OLED issues that never happen on LCDs.

Also, fuck LG.

Let's be clear here. If politicians aren't competent enough to make burgers or serve orders, they're not competent enough to run countries.

If the jobs require mental health screenings, and trans people are supposedly mentally ill... surely they'll just fail, and there's no need for an additional ban. Surely, right?

Or are we about to hear that the radical left has somehow infiltrated all mental health screenings?

Condemning illegal Israeli settlements is becoming worthless, because even the Israeli government itself is condemning them lately.

Even IDF internallly recognizes that 80% of terror attacks in the West Bank are perpetrated by Israeli 'settlers'.

The 'settlers' received a free pass so many times, now they got cocky enough to attack their own police officers.

So publicly condemning illegal Israeli settlements isn't necessarily anti-Israel anymore. It's still the extremely obvious right stance, but one that should have been taken 10 years ago, and not today, when the Israeli government itself is turning against the so-called settlers.

Sony threatens to pursue legal action?

Legal action has already been pursued, against them. And threats like these suggest it isn't going too well for them.

To be fair, I couldn't name even one serious country.

Huh, I didn't even notice that.

Weird, considering the UN officially recognizes all of Ukraine as... Ukraine.

Also weird that, knowing this, Ukraine abstained and not voted against. Although this is probably because politics and international affairs.

I sure hope Canada has a decent military that doesn't rely on American equipment.

The cheapest EV where I live costs about 30x more than the cheapest ICE car, and about 5x more than the average ICE car.

At the same time, it has half (or not even that) the range and most of the controls inside the touchscreen.

Almost everybody lives in apartments. No chargers in the underground garages or near outside parking spaces. I only know of 4 EV chargers in a radius of 2km around my home, and I live in my country's capital.

I think I'll stick to public transport and cycling. EVs are not the answer to any problem. All that work just to have marginally less ecologically destructive vehicles.

To me it just looks like smoking vs vaping. Improvement? I guess. Worth investing insane amounts of resources into? Yeah, probably not.

Microsoft just dropped a bombshell at Computex 2026 by unveiling the most powerful device ever to bear the Surface name. The newly announced Surface Laptop Ultra is a direct answer to Apple and its dominant MacBook Pro lineup. Built in a deep partnership with NVIDIA, the new flagship laptop runs Windows on Arm and completely redefines professional computing.

Ever since the Surface division came into existence, I’ve always wondered why they didn’t go all in and make an ultra-powered device. As the MacBook Pros started gaining rave reviews from YouTubers, I started waiting for Microsoft’s response, and now we finally have it. Surface Laptop Ultra is arriving in stores this fall, 2026.

Surface Laptop Ultra N1X brings 128GB unified memory and a mini-LED display The hardware specifications for the Surface Laptop Ultra are absolutely staggering. The chassis weighs less than 4.5 pounds (~2kg) and houses a prominent dual-fan cooling system designed to prevent aggressive thermal throttling during heavy rendering workloads. Microsoft is offering the sleek device in Platinum and Nightfall color finishes.

Opening the lid reveals a beautiful 15-inch mini-LED PixelSense Ultra touchscreen. The panel features a sharp 2880 by 1920 resolution at 262 pixels per inch. The screen hits an incredible 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness, easily making it the brightest display Microsoft has ever shipped on any device.

Ursula von der Leyen has reiterated that the agreement on tariffs between the EU and the US was a 'conscious decision' that avoided a trade war.

Regarding the 15 per cent cap on US tariffs on a range of products - from cars to pharmaceuticals, from semiconductors to timber - the Commission leader spoke of a "good, if not perfect agreement", while recalling how tariffs are "taxes that burden consumers and businesses", increasing "costs, reduce choice and undermine the competitiveness of economies".

In conclusion, von der Leyen called for a "strong and independent" Europe, urging it to "complete the single market" and "strengthen competitiveness and sustainability".
