• How dare That Devil Trump and his Ventriloquist Puppet Vance suggest that the government take action against Google? (The Verge)
  
  They are clearly fascist racists and their racist fascism is illegal under the First Amendment and they and everyone they know and all their families should be imprisoned without trial immediately and forever. Also, Peter Thiel!!!1!
  
  
  
• A federal judge has ruled that Google is maintaining an illegal monopoly in the search and advertising markets. (The Verge)
  
  Amit Mehta of the District Court for DC, an Obama appointee, ruled in favour of the Biden Administration's antitrust lawsuit against Google, saying that the company had violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.
  
  This is clearly the work of That Devil Trump. His perfidy knows no bounds.

• Andy Warhol's lost Amiga art has been found. (The Silicon Underground)

• The most expensive bug ever. (Quora)
  
  Now sadly the second most expensive bug ever.
  
  
  
• Silicon Valley parents are sending kindergarten age children to AI-focused summer camps. (San Francisco Standard)
  
  This is actually a lot less worse than the headline would suggest. The younger kids are playing with Lego robots, and the older ones working with image recognition systems.
  
  Nothing to do with generative AI.
  
  
  
• Video game actors are on strike over AI. (The Verge)
  
  Okay.
  
  
  
• Is the Asus ROG Ally X any good? Yes. (Hot Hardware)
  
  This is a hand-held gaming PC similar to the Steam Deck - or the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation Vita - only more powerful and more expensive than it's competitors.
  
  If that's what you want, it fills the role pretty well.
