Welcome to Earth Delos D. Harriman, our new-minted trillionaire! (Tech Crunch)

May I say how delightful it is to watch the wailing of the worst people on the planet at your good fortune?

(I didn't invest; all my ready cash is tied up in RAM and SSDs. Which to be fair is looking like the soundest investment I have made in years.)
Critics meanwhile accuse Musk of... Running the companies he runs. (Reuters)

You can't make everybody happy, but with some effort you can make everybody miserable.

Tech News

Microsoft has "mostly" repaired a flaw that allows Microsoft software to permanently brick Microsoft hardware. (The Register)

In this case, Copilot running on a Surface trying to adjust the screen backlight.
Sam Bankman-Fraud will remain in prison. (Reuters)

A three-judge panel just stopped laughing and rejected his appeal.
Lenovo has introduced the AI Host, an Arm-based mini-PC for the Chinese market. (Liliputing)

With eight Arm A720 cores backed by four lower power A520 cores (it's not a Qualcomm chip so it tells you that up front) it's no speed demon. It delivers about half the performance in both single and multi-threaded tasks of AMD's entry level laptop 5600U chip from 2021.
Amazon datacenters "used" 2.5 billion gallons of water last year. (The Register)

The water came out of the process untouched and slightly warmer. A bit like beer.
French AI company Mistral is seeking to raise $3 billion on a $20 billion valuation. (Tech Crunch)

Nintendo's lawsuit against indie hit Palworld looks doomed. (WCCFTech)

Not only have Nintendo's patents faced unwelcome re-examination, but even if Nintendo should win, damages are capped at $30,000. No, I didn't lose a few zeroes there.
Palworld itself is reaching 1.0 on July 10. (IGN)

Despite facing headwinds from Nintendo's legal team, Palworld has sold around 25 million copies in early access, on a development budget of around $7 million.

Company PocketPair raised the money in-house, leaving the once struggling developer awash with cash.
