You might remember that Sonos was the golden child of “smart,” internet-connected home hardware a decade or so ago. But that reputation has been steadily tarnished by a long line of bone-headed decisions, ranging from their 2020-era choice to brick still useful speakers and hardware, to their choice last year to release an app update that made their speakers more buggy and way less useful. That...
You may recall a few years back that then Rep. Devin Nunes went on a SLAPPtastic suing spree, filing a bunch of highly questionable defamation lawsuits against a variety of people, including someone pretending to be a cow owned by Nunes.
The lawsuits, generally, have not gone well. One of the dumber lawsuits was the one he filed in 2019 against Hearst Magazine (publisher of Esquire Magazine) and...
Because we’re all just riding Mr. Trump’s wild ride down the greased slope towards fascism, the nation just has to keep getting worse day by day until the rot has set in permanently.
Trump’s first term in office unleashed a lot of latent censorial desire in like-minded Republicans, who soon started assaulting constituents’ sensibilities and rights in quick succession. Book bans were suddenly...

Musk Denies Email Admitting To ExTwitter’s Struggles, But Banks’ Desperation Tells A Different Story
For the past couple of years, Elon has tried all sorts of ways to publicly claim that things are going great since his purchase of Twitter, even as basically everyone knows that he’s the emperor with no clothes on that one.
He’s been claiming that traffic and usage are at “all-time” highs, despite little outside evidence to support that and plenty to suggest otherwise. Indeed, a closer look at...
To be clear up front, AT...
The facts are all up there in the headline, so let’s deal with the lies first. Lots of places reported on this incident, but we’ll go to the original source, WESH TV.
Body cam footage recovered from Lake County (FL) Sheriff’s Office deputy Tristan Macomber’s body cam showed him driving southbound before hitting a stopped vehicle ahead of him, deploying his airbags. Then it showed him fishing...
As you may have noticed, the tech world is full of news about TikTok, its ban, its reprieve and possible sale, and whether it represents a security threat to the US and its citizens. Of course, the question of whether TikTok is spying on its users and sending data back to China is broader than that. It can also be asked of the other rising Chinese tech companies, and not just in the US, but...
It’s a grind. But it’s been worth it. Last week, the court that’s been handling Agron Hasbajrami’s case for nearly a decade finally said what plenty of people have been saving for nearly as long: the FBI’s warrantless searches of NSA collections to target US persons’ communications and data violates the Constitution. Here’s Andrew Crocker and Matthew Guariglia of the EFF, detailing the lengthy...
In his latest “drain the swamp” move that will actually flood the entire ecosystem, Trump demanded the Democratic members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) resign immediately. This may sound like just more petty partisan BS, but it could have huge unintended consequences, including for Trump’s own companies.
Sometimes it helps to actually understand how government works...
