I'm not someone who celebrates people being laid off.
I'm someone who celebrates pieces of shit being laid off.
I'm sure the good journalists among the bunch will be able to get a new job on media one way or another. The rest can put the fucking fries in the bag.

Oh joy, another masterpiece from The Verge: a $20k "bare-bones" electric truck that comes without the frivolity of paint, a stereo, or even a screen! 
Who needs those anyway when you can brag about the *purity* of driving with only the wind as your soundtrack?

「Microsoft Copilot は Edge の画面に表示されているものを「見る」ことができるようになりました
/オプトイン AI 機能を使用すると、Copilot を常時存在する Web アシスタントのように使用できます。 」： The Verge
「画面上の内容を解釈し、アプリの操作を支援するMicrosoftのAIアシスタント機能「Copilot Vision」が、Edgeブラウザ内で無料で利用可能になった 。VisionはMicrosoftが「会話ベースの体験」と呼ぶもので、空中に話しかけ、Copilotの応答を待つことで利用できる。
Copilot Vision が「文字通り、画面に表示されているものを見る」ことができると述べています。Suleyman 氏は、料理中に Copilot Vision にレシピをガイドさせたり、職務内容を「解読」させて「すぐにカスタマイズされた面接準備やカバーレターのブレインストーミングに取り掛かる」ことを提案しています」

「中国、最後の関税引き上げで米国を「冗談」と呼ぶ
/米国製品に対する関税は現在125％に設定されており、これ以上高くなることはないだろう。」： The Verge
「中国が再び米国製品に対する関税を引き上げ、トランプ大統領と同じにした。
中国財政部の声明では、アメリカ側からのこれ以上の関税は「もはや経済的な意味をなさない」とし、アメリカは「世界経済の歴史の中でジョークになるだろう」と警告している。
トランプ大統領は2月、中国に対して当初10％の関税を設定したが、これは4倍に上昇し、現在は145％に設定されている。
中国は、125％という新たな関税率では、もはや「中国に輸出される米国製品に対する市場の受け入れ」がないため、これ以上の関税引き上げは意味がないとしている。 「米国が関税の数字ゲームを続けるなら、中国はそれを無視するだろう」と声明は述べている。」
