AI Doom: Are we all gonna die (again)?
Hardly a day goes by without some “exciting” news about AI. This time, it’s warnings of doom if we don’t change course: god-like AI that runs everything, a scorched Earth covered in data centers, etc. So, right… What’s REALLY going on here? Most likely, all is not as it seems on the surface…
Linux world shaken by nasty bugs
When you hear the word “linux”, you probably think of nerds hidden away in a cramped office, managing all the servers that make our high-tech modern world actually go. You probably also associate “linux” with “security”. Unfortunately, recent events have shown that the truth is a bit more… holey. Like, Swiss cheese holey. From Copy Fail to cPanel to Dirty Frag, the linux server community has been utterly hammered by nasty exploits in the past weeks. We’ll tell you what happened, what it means, and how to protect yourself and your gizmos!

And of course the economy is just fine and we’re Epic Winning... even though we can’t afford fuel and food. Eh, right. Just what the heck is going on?? Easy! It’s all falling apart. Believe or not, that’s a GOOD thing…
