122 News Flashes

Today we continue our new format of blazin' through articles. For each news flash, I give my insightful commentary:

"New World" is a fake online world people use to escape their depressing lives. It's being overrun by AI bots, so people in third-world countries are finding it harder to make a living on it.
Tesla is the first foreign automaker in China that didn't have to partner with a local company. In return, China hopes to learn from them, as they did with Apple.
Rather than make reliable cars, Stellantis is now chasing a pipe dream of milking us for fees while we drive.
The class action against Zoom for failing to encrypt communications, and then sharing them with vendors and governments.
Apple and Google's duopoly relies heavily on the App Store scandal. If it weren't for app stores, we could use any brand of anything to go on any mobile website.
Tesla crashes into a bus - which raises the question - what happens when cars are hit with update attacks that cause them to smash into things?
Many/most Alexa devices are gifted for Christmas, and then never used again. Amazon might not mind, because people leave them plugged in...
Every time Google is caught doing something nasty, business soars over at DuckDuckGo.
MD governor uses an ephemeral messaging app - but how many others do, too?
iPhones are still locatable when the battery inevitably dies - and even if someone factory wipes it.
Someone was so fed up with an evil program, they got a job at the company just to fix the problem, then walked out.
