So Apple blocks logging into iCloud if you use Ubuntu + FireFox. You have to spoof the user agent to get around it. Random.

Anyone with a smartwatch that tracks HR and sleep quality can immediately tell how much impact a single drink has on the body.

I think most always knew it to be unhealthy, it’s more that we now have the tech to see the individual impact in real-time.

Delta using AI to determine the price you pay for plane tickets Delta Airlines is facing criticism for its use of artificial intelligence to determine ticket prices, a practice known as surveillance pricing.

Wouldn’t this effectively drive traffic away from delta.com to third party booking sites? The only time you need to book on the carrier website is when you are redeeming points

I don’t see MS introducing something that would enable people to flag and potentially scrutinize the main technology they are forcing into almost every one of their products.

Really hope this doesn’t mess with my budgeting app. It’s hard enough trying to keep track of things to then have my own bank paywall me out of organizing my money.

What is the obsession for power banks and chargers these days? There is such heavy competition to make them look β€œcool” too, people it’s a plastic cube that sits in a wall outlet.

Not complaining about Anker. They do make solid products. I just don’t get people’s desire to get the β€œbest” charger.

Every DJI drone is out of stock on the company's online store If you’re looking to purchase a drone from DJI, visiting the company’s online store might not be the best option,...

Appears all DJI shipments are being seized at the US border, resulting in most products to be out of stock indefinitely on their website and partner retailers.

A real shame because they arguably make the best drones. I really like their handheld cameras and was hoping to buy one.

A prolific hacking group that's shutdown retailers and insurance companies turns to aviation A cyberattack on WestJet last week is likely tied to the Scattered Spider gang, a source tells Axios.

Mandiant is now aware of multiple incidents in the airline sector that resemble Scattered Spider. The industry should button up its call centers where this actor has had a lot of success with social engineering. www.axios.com/2025/06/27/a...

I’ve never seen anything like that before, very interesting to see it have the contextual awareness to address you in the second person.

Let's just agree that if this works against a vendor, you should stop using that vendor.

This Is What Happens When Hertz's AI Scanner Finds Damage on Your Rental One customer was charged $440 for a scuff on his rental's wheel. But talking to a human employee about it wasn't easy, and he was encouraged to pay ASAP.

The customer paid a $440 fine due to the β€œAI Scanner” identifying a scuff on a tire cover, with $125 (about 28%) being a processing fee for β€œthe cost to detect and estimate the damage”.

Good luck with customer retention.

Products like this and NotebookLM make me think Google is better at bringing useful AI products to consumers.

MS seems to force AI into all their existing products because it can, not because people necessarily want the integration.

Some excellent work by @craiggidney.bsky.social that reduces the number of qubits (in a quantum computer) required to break RSA by 20-fold. If you don’t have a migration plan to safe algorithms, now is the time to start one!
