The UK’s CMA isn’t happy with Google’s ad tech practices.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has provisionally found that Google “is using anti-competitive practices in open-display ad tech, which it believes could be harming thousands of UK publishers and advertisers.” The CMA has sent Google a statement of objections today, related to the search giant “self-preferencing” itself for ad tech services. It might be years until a final decision is reached, though. The CMA originally opened its investigation in 2022.

This smart ring claims to detect sleep apnea.
The RingConn 2 monitors your SpO2 levels while sleeping and promises 90 percent accuracy after just three hours of wear. The company is in the process of gaining FDA approval for the feature.
In the meantime, the surprisingly lightweight smart ring has the standard health-tracking features — including sleep, activity, stress, and heart-rate monitoring. It costs $299, claims up to 12 days of battery life, and doesn’t require a subscription.

I can't guarantee what happened when they were out of sight.

Programmers have been told they’ll be replaced since shortly after programming was invented.

All of this is amazing, but the idea of an organisation whose main goal is to become superfluous so they can disband is, like, can we have more of that, please?

Absolutely loving Linux btw
Couldn't run Windows 7, and Windows 10 ran like shit. My old PC basically got a second life with Linux.
This is Half-Life GOTY running on Wine, runs really smooth.
The only downside is lack of directX support, OpenGL is there but the integrated graphics card only supports till OpenGL 2.1, which is not enough for many things, and also slower than directX. Still, my PC feels much faster now, and doesn't scream like a demon whenever I open up a browser :)
(Maybe I should dual boot Win7(While never connecting it to the web), just to play some more games with DirectX?)
Also, my local hospital has started using Ubuntu, their old PCs also couldn't handle the heavy burden of running Windows I guess 🤣
