What to do about those 'government-backed attack' warnings from Google

Mar 24, 10:39PM

 TOTALLY PANIC. Just kidding; please don’t do that.

Don’t freak out if you get one of these notices — it doesn’t necessarily mean that your account has… Read More

Steve Mnuchin has been compromised (by robots)

Mar 24, 7:29PM

 Not to downplay the apparently imminent existential threat of global trade, but this time the call is coming from inside the house. Well, not the House, but the cabinet, where Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has apparently begun to execute the will of our nation’s omnipresent AI-powered shadow government, one willfully ignorant quote at a time.

Tesla Model 3 will get a Performance version next year

Mar 24, 4:34PM

 The Tesla Model 3 will eventually get a more performance-oriented option, which Tesla CEO Elon Musk says we can probably expect in around a year or so.
