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.
