Trump’s tariff war with China just turned TikTok into an economics class
Thanks to the trade war, TikTok is now flooded with videos from Chinese factory workers breaking down the logic of Western luxury pricing. Why does a Birkin bag cost $38,000, while a professionally made lookalike with the same materials runs for just $150?
Spoiler: it's not craftsmanship, it's capitalism. Thanks, Trump — now every scroll is a crash course in global trade.

Ari Aster is back — and it’s weird, dark, and very A24
The first teaser for “Eddington” just dropped. Think small-town sheriff (played by Joaquin Phoenix), beef with the mayor (Pedro Pascal), pandemic chaos, conspiracy theories, TikTok meltdowns, and even Michael Jackson and 9/11 mentions. Yep, that’s A24 energy.

English version:
Someone hacked crosswalk buttons in Silicon Valley. All day they were playing fake Elon Musk and Zuckerberg voices: – “People say cancer is bad. But have you tried being cancer? It’s awesome.” – “We nuked democracy, deep-fried grandmas’ brains with AI porridge — and I’m proud.” – “Hey, I’m Elon. Let’s be friends. I’ll give you a Cybertruck. I’ll sink for your approval.”
Moral of the story? Tech is fun — until a walk button starts whispering AI propaganda at you.

OpenAI is building a social network. Yes, really
While Musk and Zuck are busy flexing their empires, Sam Altman’s making his move — OpenAI is secretly working on a social app, kinda like X. There's already a prototype: think AI-generated images + monetizable feed. And yep, it might live inside ChatGPT.
Altman’s been quietly asking for feedback, while casually roasting Elon online. If this takes off, OpenAI scores its own data goldmine for training models — just like Meta and X already do.
Bottom line: The AI war just went full social. 💬⚔️

Apple’s reading your emails — but like, politely
To train its AI, Apple’s quietly eyeing your inbox. Chill though — it’s all anonymized (allegedly) and turned into “synthetic data” for smarter auto-replies.
Like: your buddy wants tennis? AI might go, “Cool, how’s 11:30?” Magic. Slightly creepy magic. Good news? Only happens if you’ve opted into device analytics. So if that bugs you — there’s a toggle for that.
TL;DR: The future’s here, and it just read your RSVP. 📩🤖

CS2 just went full LEGO — Mirage can now be blown to bits
Modder Lillykyu dropped a wild take on Mirage: a fully destructible LEGO-style map. Every shot, every boom — and walls, floors, and boxes go flying.
It’s more than just a fun skin — the whole map crumbles like digital Jenga. Absolute chaos. And yes, it’s as fun as it sounds.
Bottom line: CS2 just became your new favorite rage toy. 💥🧩

Fighting doomscrolling with… no internet
Yup, the new trick is going full offline mode. Some apps now only work when you're disconnected — no pings, no doom, no endless feed. Just you and whatever’s in that brain of yours.
It’s like mindfulness, but for your phone. Kill the Wi-Fi, open the app, reclaim your sanity.
Bottom line: sometimes going offline is the real power move. 📵🧠

Bethesda’s selling... server RAM as a collector’s item
To mark 10 years of TES Online, Bethesda dropped a wild collectible: actual sticks of RAM from the game’s original servers. For $110, you get one of 2000 sets — gold plate, memory module, and a signed card from Zenimax boss Matt Firor.
It’s basically: “You didn’t just play ESO — you ARE ESO.”
Bottom line: nerdy? Absolutely. Genius? Kinda. 📀🔥

Discord wants your face or ID before you see any 18+ content
Before you check out the NSFW stuff, Discord now requires age verification — either flash your ID or let your camera scan your face. No proof? Your account gets the boot.
Why now? Pressure from UK and Aussie regulators. Their laws aren’t live yet, but Discord’s running early tests to avoid legal drama later.
Bottom line: it’s no longer just “agree to the rules” — it’s “show us your face.” 🔞👁️

Meta might have to sell Instagram and WhatsApp — and it’s getting spicy
The FTC just launched a blockbuster antitrust case that could force Meta to break up — selling both Instagram and WhatsApp. Their main weapon? A 2008 Zuck email saying “it is better to buy than compete”, plus courtroom quotes basically admitting Insta had better camera tech.
The feds call it a “buy or bury” monopoly strategy, and Meta’s counter? "TikTok exists, your Honor." They argue the market’s way bigger than the FTC claims — and that undoing 10-year-old deals is a business nightmare.
Bottom line: Zuck might have to say goodbye to his most valuable apps. Time to dust off that metaverse. 👋📉

Gary Gensler’s crypto take: 99% hype, 1% substance — but Bitcoin might stay
Ex-SEC boss Gary Gensler weighed in on the crypto comeback, saying the market runs 99% on vibes, 1% on fundamentals. Still, he sees Bitcoin differently — with global appeal and gold-like staying power.
He sidestepped questions about dropped lawsuits, repeating the classic “investor protection” mantra. Now teaching (including AI topics), Gensler predicts that AI will reshape finance in the next 5–12 years.
Bottom line: crypto's loud, Bitcoin’s shiny, and AI is quietly waiting. 🧠💸

Red Magic 10 Air: lighter, cooler-looking — but literally hotter
ZTE just dropped a slimmed-down beast — the Red Magic 10 Air. Still a gaming unit with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 120Hz AMOLED, 6000mAh battery, and touch triggers. But to earn the “Air” noscript, they ditched the built-in fan. Thinner body (7.85mm vs 8.9mm in the Pro), but will it overheat mid-clutch?
Price starts at $485. Slim, strong, but now it sweats with you.
Bottom line: still game-ready — just without the chill. 🎮💨
