Spotify collects your private information and then leaks it. (The Verge) (archive site)

Which doesn't sound so bad except that Spotify collects a lot more than your playlists.
So do your sneakers. Here's why that's a good thing. Maybe. (Tech Crunch)

Skechers makes kid's shoes that have a hidden compartment for an Apple AirTag. Which is great if your child has a habit of wandering off or you live in a crime-ridden left-wing shithole.

Tech News

Micron has announced its first PCIe 6.0 SSDs. (Tom's Hardware)

These are not for desktop computers - there are no PCIe 6.0 desktop computers after all - but rather for high-end servers.

There are also no PCIe 6.0 servers, but PCIe is backward compatible so they'll work fine with ten year old PCIe 1.0 hardware.

The drives can transfer data at up to 28GB per second and will be available in capacities up to 245TB, both of which used to be a lot.
The future is self-hosted. (Drew Lyton)

The article title says the opposite.

The article title is wrong.
Well, that's sneaky: There was a bug in Google's "refresh outdated content" button that let anyone delete anything. (Ars Technica)

If you adjusted the capitalisation of the URL it would raise a 404 internally when it tried to refresh the link because URLs are usually case-sensitive.

But Google's system was not case-sensitive, so on seeing the 404 it would consider it a dead link and remove it from the search index.
