Daily Tech News 8 July 2025

Top Story

Apple has filed an appeal against the EU's latest half-billion-dollar fine for - and I quote - "having money the EU wants". (Hot Hardware)

Okay, so maybe I don't quote. But when it comes to a fight between communists pretending to be politicians and communists pretending to be capitalists, I'll side with the pretend capitalists unless they're also French.

Tech News

Twitter has updated the chatbot Grok to be "less politically correct". (The Verge) (archive site)

Mostly it seems to be just as wrong but more argumentative.
React is a fractal of caching with metastatic mutability. (Plotke)

What did you call me?
What Microchip doesn't tell you about the VSC8512. (Serd.es)

A lot of things, apparently, but they don't matter unless you're trying to build a managed switch from scratch.

Which the author in this case is.
13.5% of scientific papers from 2024 are written at least partly using AI. (Phys.org)
