I don't really think the tech industry fully understands how little the average person actually cares for AI and how much they hate all these data centers driving up energy costs, and in some cases, driving up pollution. This is a major issue that requires significant PR and better messaging.

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Got to play with the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra with NVIDIA RTX Spark at #Computex2026 and it crushes coding, creative and gaming applications! Saw plenty of demos, too. Pretty impressed this far, can't wait until the fall launch.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon C is probably the company's biggest opportunity to capture share and offer competitively priced Windows PCs that still have great battery life and performance. Very light on details, but the company says it will enable $300 PCs from Acer, HP, and Lenovo.

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.
