Over the next decade, generative artificial intelligence will replace some jobs. But as has always been the case with revolutionary technologies — from the steam engine to digitization — it's destined to create far more jobs than it eliminates. That's how many will have to be sent back to save Sarah Connor

Scientists have converted a children's "drinking bird" toy into a tool that generates usable amounts of electricity. The generator could one day be utilized to power a wide variety of small electronic devices, both indoors and outside. Imagine the power I could be generating then

Not everyone is a job hopper, and some people do get stuck in the same company and same title due to laziness, comfort, or other reasons. Not "by" the senior software engineer. Those are much more common.

Shouldn't that website be "The Gnu Stack"?

There's another Chinese-manufactured product – joining the likes of TikTok, cars and semiconductors – that poses a national security risk to Americans: Electronic locks, such as those used in safes. Who needs to pick the locks when you've made them?
I just love this quote, "It would be one thing if these backdoors were only available to US government agencies, but they are not". Ah, priorities.

Microsoft is once again injecting pop-ups into Google’s Chrome browser in a bid to get people to switch to Bing. Are you really, really, REALLY sure you don't want to try Bing?

Injecting, as in 'injecting from the OS', or as 'putting popups on MS sites'? An entire article, and that simple point isn't clarified... If it is from the OS, wouldn't that be a class actionable offense?
edit - it is the former - the linked article kinda addressed it... Wow! The hubris!

Yeah, sorry. I should have used the Windows Latest[^] version of the story. They went into a bit more detail:
"In our tests, we noticed that this Bing pop-up isn’t part of a Windows update, and it is possibly linked to either BCILauncher.EXE or BingChatInstaller.EXE, which were added to some systems on March 13.
"Microsoft signs the two files, and you’ll find them inside the c:\windows\temp\mubstemp folder."

And Microsoft will surely allow Google to drop some signed files into the Windows folder, to do whatever they want. Right? Right?
