Twitter, who's that?
|
Twitter, I never even met her.
|
Twitter, I never even met her.
|
Look, Elon,
|
just because somebody gets married
|
and changes their name,
|
doesn't mean they no longer exist.
|
And it definitely doesn't mean they don't owe me money.
|
Like how you owe it to yourself
|
to come back on Monday for more tech news.
|
You also owe it to me, like a little bit.
|
I mean, I gave up a crown for you.
|
I was bossing people around, it was great.
|
Few assassination attempts.
|
I was executing peasants.
|
I have to deliver the news at 60 miles an hour
|
and if I slow down for even a second
|
something bad might happen to Keanu Reeves.
|
Bradley, don't slow down!
|
He's already sad enough.
|
Apple is apparently going to launch M4 MacBook Pros this year
|
which is what I've been learning from Mark Gurman
|
who lives in a house made from all the paper he's earning.
|
Thank you, Jake.
|
You're welcome, world.
|
But even though Apple hasn't even announced them yet
|
Russian YouTube channel Wilsacom
|
claims to have gotten their hands on one.
|
The channel's video even got a response from Gurman himself
|
saying it's unconfirmed but looks fairly legitimate
|
which I think is the nicest thing he's ever said about anyone.
|
Personally, I'm not sure how much I trust a channel
|
that may have ripped their World Premiere intro from an Xbox event.
|
And by may, I mean definitely.
|
World Premiere.
|
Whether or not the video is legit
|
Gurman claims we'll be seeing M4 MacBook Pros launch on November 1st,
|
alongside new M4 Mac Minis and iMacs.
|
Gurman also revealed
|
that Apple Intelligence will finally arrive on October 28th.
|
Yeah, it's not out yet,
|
despite weeks of ads featuring actor Bella Ramsey
|
using the power of AI
|
to do amazing things like make a photo montage
|
with sad vibes at a fish funeral.
|
I've just had to watch
|
that knowing I can't get that for myself yet.
|
Oh, there's fine print at the bottom?
|
I want sad vibes now!
|
Fortunately, Apple may be trying to prevent weird delays like this
|
as Gurman claims the company is moving away from its usual annual release cycle.
|
Instead, they're going to try a revolutionary new strategy
|
of launching products when they're ready.
|
Wow.
|
Genius.
|
This is why Tim Cook makes the big bucks.
|
Over a third of the web is caught up in a feud between two companies
|
that could perhaps be described as some high school show.
|
Just like teenage grudges
|
it's also fairly complicated
|
but we're here to help you get through it.
|
Matt Mullenweg is the co-founder and owner
|
of the open-source WordPress.org web publishing project
|
which powers around 40% of the top 10 million websites.
|
He's also the CEO of Automattic,
|
which owns WordPress.com,
|
a freemium web-building platform based on WordPress.org.
|
You with us so far?
|
Last month, Automatic sent
|
WP Engine, a third-party WordPress hosting service,
|
a cease-and-desist letter for using the WordPress trademark on their site
|
which Automatic can technically do
|
because it holds the license for the trademark's commercial rights
|
stating WP Engine can't claim they bring WordPress to the masses
|
when they don't contribute enough to the open-source project.
|
WP Engine fired back with their own cease and desist
|
claiming Mullenweg told them
|
he'd take a scorched earth nuclear approach
|
if WP Engine didn't pay 8% of its revenue
|
as a trademark fee to Automatic
|
or dedicate employee time
|
of equivalent financial value to WordPress contribution.
|
In apparent retaliation,
|
Mullenweg banned WP Engine from using WordPress.org servers
|
affecting their customers and breaking a lot of websites.
|
That's what it does.
|
What do you need this for?
|
It's all AI now.
|
Last week, WP Engine also sued Automatic for extortion
|
and 159 Automatic employees accepted a severance package
|
offered to workers who disagreed with Mullenweg's direction of the company.
|
a.k.a. just starting.
|
I probably would have taken it too
|
just so I didn't have to keep trying to explain
|
to my family what's happening at work.
|
No mom, you don't understand.
|
wordpress.org is different from wordpress.com, okay?
|
Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer
|
just to get access to Windows 11.
