The Death of the Cheap Laptop Is Coming
Hunger for AI hardware is triggering a price surge across tech devices, and affordable laptops are the first casualty.
Whether you use AI or not, itβs probably going to impact your life this year β and we're not just talking about search results or slop. The land war to build AI data centers is driving up the price of the computers and other devices you may try to buy.

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsinβs Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts
After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.
NEW: Believe it or not, itβs that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.
Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.
That means theyβd have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Justice Alitoβs latest opinion is a very, very bad sign for voting rights
A decision upholding a New York GOP congressional district could be a prelude to killing the Voting Rights Act.
