HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware ( www.tomshardware.com )

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

HP notebooks can do that too though

That problem has every consumer laptop.
Lenovos Ideapads and Thinkbooks do the same. As well as the Asus, Acer, etc notebooks from the cheaper end.

I do those hinge repairs from time to time for customers and its rarely a thinkpad, elitebooks, probook, etc.

iPhones And Androids Can Now Warn You of 'Secret Trackers' ( www.ibtimes.co.uk )

In a collaborative effort, Apple and Google have developed an industry-standard detection feature called "Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers" (DULT) for Bluetooth trackers. This standard allows users on iOS and Android devices to be alerted if an unknown Bluetooth tracker is monitoring their location.

For airtags that was, at least until recently, the case. You could only detect "lost airtags".

Which makes sense, since only then they are relevant for stalking etc.

That would be awesome!

At least in the EU, you xan easily change search engines on chrome on android.

Accoring to the math in this video:
:

  • 150 000 000 miles have been driven with Teslas "FSD", which equals to
  • 375 miles per tesla purchased with FSD capabilities
  • 736 known FSD crashes with 17 fatalities
  • equals 11.3 deaths per 100M miles of teslas FSD

Doesnt sound to bad, until you hear that a human produces 1.35 deaths per 100M miles driven...

Its rough math, but holy moly that already is a completely other class of deadly than a non FSD car
