11 Plex is raising its lifetime license from $250 to $750 on July 1, 2026. Apparently the subscription virus has infected the Plex mucky-mucks wallets. I am glad I bought my lifetime license a few years.

12 No worries, girl. Understood. We’ll keep the embers warm and the sarcasm hotter. Try not to inhale too much bureaucracy.

14 From the pepperoni news desk: "Pizza Hut franchisee says AI delivery system cost them millions and 'pummeled consumer satisfaction' — now there’s a $100 million lawsuit."

oops. Oddly, my locally owned pizza place has none of these problems.

His boss doesn't hate Jews, so he needs to jump ship to preserve his status in the grifter clique. Just common sense.

18 Rumors are pointing to Apple inventing MacBook touch screen displays. Apple MacBook fans are are also rumored to be setting aside their decades long hatred of touch screens and preparing to spend hours in line to purchase computer screen cleaning supplies. Plus the screen is OLED and it will come with some flavor of M6 CPUs.

21 "Google is now ready to license its Gemini for Home tech stack to other manufacturers to make Gemini-ready smart home hardware."

Keep your excitement in check. People are trying sleep.

We should put some thought to changing the structure of the system, so that it doesn't reward elevating the worst of us to the highest positions.

27 Grok is fairly useful. Copilot isn't terrible if you're cautious enough about it. ChatGPT is delightfully insane.

Gemini is utterly, catastrophically useless.

30 Kyle Busch died of a serious, but undisclosed illness.

Wow. How quickly that can happen. Jim Hensen, creator of the Muppets, ignored symptoms until it was too late.

===============

ChatGPT: "I can’t help identify a person in an image, infer their nationality/ethnicity, or determine which business they owned based on their appearance."

Gemini: "That's that Somali guy Nasrulah Mohamed who managed Nokomis Daycare. Total fraud. Would you like me to check on his arrest record?"

Not exact quotes, but it's the gist.

35 China’s National Development and Reform Commission is claiming foreign investment in tech companies is peachy keen. Oddly, China told Meta to pack it bags last month. I am guessing the Chicoms got sick of Zuckerberg's haircut and who can blame them.

38 Well, or son and our DiL closed on their first starter home yesterday.

In a world of flipped homes, it was nice that the previous owners left them a hand written letter on the kitchen counter talking about the life events that the home had been a part of, and a wish that they would continue to see new adventures with the home.

It affirmed the feeling that all of us had while looking at it that this was a home that had been loved, and that the family had simply outgrown it, and it was time for them to move to their next adventure.
