My 60+ mother was like that, until I convinced her to stop. Once she ordered a hat, didn’t like it, so tried to send it back. Temu just gave back her money, and told her to keep it. I bet it’s a quality product

Billionaires: What do you mean? We are doing great 🥂
He is the ex-husband of a former Justice Minister, he was a CEO and other exec at some government-friendly major firms, and thus part of the middle-inner circle of Orban’s party (Fidesz) and the related business networks.
He had enough 1-2 years ago, but kept silent when his ex-wife was still in a high position, to not damage her career. After she had to resign, he went to the biggest opposition Youtube channel, and gave a viral interview, confirming corrupt practices that people already suspected.
During spring he saw his popularity rising mainly in social media, so he turned from an influencer to a politician, and pulled together a party. They won a lot of seats in the EU parliament election in June, he is also now sitting in there, part of EPP, and strongly supported by Manfred Weber.
Latest polls show his party head-to-head with Fidesz, so the government is panicking, trying to attack him on all fronts, but he seems to be taking it well, and continues to gain popularity. He recently had a reddit AMA in r/hungary, which became top post of all time - he seems to be loved by the young crowd.
He is different from other opposition leaders, as he positions himself as a christian center-right politician (instead of left/liberal), while being against the Russia-friendliness and corruption of Fidesz/Orban. This resonates a lot with some of Orban’s former voters, and those who stayed away from voting in the previous years. He is also well dressed and good looking 40s dude, not an overweight 60s man like Orban and other government politicians, showing a strong contrast - Orban supposedly started excercising and losing weight due to the competition.
Overall it’s good to have him, anything is better than Orban. Peter Magyar’s also not perfect, he was part of some corrupt deals (which he openly admitted) and seems a bit arrogant and enjoy the spotlight, but if this is what it takes to get rid of Orban, I’m all for it. The country is in bad shape economically, he’s not going to solve that in a few years, but at least we could get going in the right direction - keep an eye out for Hungarian elections in 2026.
Shame, he seemed like a nice guy \s

That would work, if the EU hasn’t been sleeping on their defense, and relying on Daddy USA to protect Europe
What a coincidence that Elon Musk paid 100+ million for their campaign
I feel that a lot of the hate for Apple is not fully warranted. Contrary to Google or Facebook, their business model is not built on collecting your personal data. They are extremely overpriced, but deliver good quality - I am using my first iPhone for more than 4 years now, I never had and Android last nearly that long.
This is the key, you are a slave with extra steps. Reading about the travel ban set by her employer, just because they don’t take your passport away, you can still become trapped. I used to have some respect for the UAE, as compared to the other nearby shitholes, they actually invested the oil money they had, and now live off mostly of tourism and trade. Still, the backwards culture and oppressive regime is all the same.
I’m blocked by a paywall, doesn anybody have a summary of the article?

OpenAI: We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO

We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.
We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
I was debating if I want to buy one, but after trying that remote play worked well with a tablet on my home wifi, I took a leap of faith and ordered one of the last ones nearby. Picked it up yesterday.
Key points:
-Very satisfied with the performance so far, no noticable lag on home wifi. Finished Spider-Man 2 and beat the final boss on it, also tried some shooters, no issues with lag in single player games on my 500 Mbit network (meaning: maybe a partial second of stutter every 5-10 mins).
-So much smoother experience than using e.g. my tablet with a controller. Just pick it up, press 2 buttons, and you can play in a few seconds.
-The screen is also better than expected. 8 inches is super big for a handheld, around the size of the iPad mini. Very immersive, when playing. Colors are also great, and I’m saying that as an owner of an LG OLED TV. Of course an OLED screen would have been probably better, but also more expensive, and the resolution is still better than most handhelds giving us a great picture.
-The controller grips are very comfortable for even a longer session. The haptic feedback and trigger resistance feels just like the controller we are used to.
-The missing BT is annoying if you have a good headset (I don’t), but I understand the concerns with delay, though I have no personal experience on that.
-The only time connection became bad, is when downloading a game/update on my PS5 while playing, it even completely dropped once. Very annoying if you want to run an update in the background, but also not a dealbreaker, you can just run updates in rest mode.
-The price is fine, payed 219 EUR for it. I would like it a bit lower, but still okay with it (understanding the privilege that I can waste this money on something that is far from a necessity). I would not want to pay the price of a “proper” handheld for a controller with a screen.
