Public copies of Nitter, the no-login way to read posts on X, went dark after the maintainer received cease-and-desist letters and locked the project the same day. No court ruled. Alex and Jordan look at why a letter was enough, Apple's new 2 nm Mac mini that tops out at 32GB while the 512GB Studio starts at $5,499, OpenAI's Jalapeño chip whose "better than Nvidia" numbers came from OpenAI and ship in 2027, and Google's top camera authenticity badge, which a researcher got to stamp any file. The side of tech news nobody talks about.
