I guess it would have to be on a sliding scale. Tip 20% on a new MacBook? na...
I don't see this taking off, then again, I find it ridiculous to have to pay an uncharge to be able to pick your seat on an airplane.

Google appears to be scaling up the ads it shows to Gmail users according to tens of online reports and social media posts. If you go down to Gmail today, you're sure of a big surprise.

Poor Google. Must suck being such a cash-poor company. Firing 12,000 employees couldn't pay for Pichai's bonus, so they had to figure out some other way to pay for it.

The World Health Organization said Friday that COVID-19 no longer qualifies as a global emergency, marking a symbolic end to the devastating coronavirus pandemic that triggered once-unthinkable lockdowns, upended economies worldwide and killed at least seven million people worldwide. I kind of prefer living my life worrying, though. I feel like that's the healthy way to proceed.

Unfortunately the long-lasting loss of freedom around the world is still with us. Totalitarians in all countries used COVID as an excuse to restrict free movement, speech, and association.

There will be something new to worry about soon enough. Governments despise a vacuum.

With a little bit of math, decompilation, and understanding of computer architecture, we are going to force a user-controlled arithmetic overflow to occur in Magic: The Gathering Arena, and use it to buy millions of card packs for "free" (only using the starting amount of in-game currency given to new accounts). "Using buffer overflow to gain infinite in-game currency locked to one account in Magic: the Gathering Arena and then disclosing the exploit to the publisher"

Last week, the open-core team chat platform Mattermost announced that “Mattermost Cloud Free will no longer be offered after July 26, 2023.” This likely came as an unpleasant surprise to users on that plan, as less than a month before, Mattermost’s pricing page featured the promise that the Cloud Free plan would be “free forever”. "Free Forever? I'd like you to meet my friend, Free Tools."

Well, they didn't lie. The Cloud Free plan has been free and remains free. It simply won't be offered anymore, but it's still free. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

A Financial Times journalist writes about discovering she’d been surveilled by TikTok. Sounds like, "My pet tiger attacked me. Why?"
|
|
|
|

China, pure and simple. TikTok is wholly owned by a Chinese company, which in turn is beholden to the CCP. This is why the US Government has banned the use of TikTok on any US government owned equipment, including government issued cell phones.

IBM's CEO, Arvind Krishna, says employees' careers could suffer if they work from home.
Krishna told Bloomberg during a Monday interview that although he wasn't forcing his own staffers back to the office, he thought remote workers may struggle to get promotions. If there was a more subtle, yet assertive way to discourage your employees from remote work, I'm not familair with it.

IBM's CEO still hasn't caught up on how the job market works today. Promotions are rarely vertical, they are diagonal: employees move to another company with a higher position. Rinse, repeat.

Regular internet users over age 50 were half as likely to later develop dementia as non-users, a recent study found. "Where is my mind? Way out in the water, see it swimming"

This seems like a prime case of correlation does not equal causation.

Many studies showned that any kind of mental stimulation stave off dementia.
