Top Story

I won't connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud and I hope your company burns down, falls over, and sinks into the swamp. (Jeff Geerling)

Jeff bought a new dishwasher.

To use even something as simple as a rinse cycle, you have to connect it to wifi, download the app, and set up an online account.

For a dishwasher.

My washing machine requires wifi and an app to set up custom wash cycles, so... I never use custom wash cycles. I set it to the wash/dry setting (it's a combination washer/dryer) and it does its thing.

My dishwasher has buttons.

Apparently that's now a $400 option.

Tech News

AMD's new Gorgon Point laptop chips are AMD's old Strix Point laptop chips. (Hot Hardware)

The clock speed has been bumped by about 2%. That's it.
The CEO of Alibaba warned of a bubble in AI datacenter construction. (Yahoo)

A bubble he is helping inflate.
How to delete you 23andMe data. (The Verge) (archive site)

You probably can't. The company already said they keep some parts of your data even before they went bankrupt, and now that they are bankrupt, your data is what they are planning to sell to become less bankrupt.

They would previously destroy any physical samples kept on your behalf, but now that they are bankrupt no-one is around to do that anymore.
What killed all that innovation in web presentation? (Shirley Wu)

People hated it.
