I remember several sites crashing at that time.
Someone had tested a Linux setup in advance and had triggered a crash, a fix was released. A fair number of sites did not apply the critical fix before it was needed and a fair number of admins had to answer the question "why". One of those sites was Amadeus and that affected me so I noticed.

Yeah, PC sales were artificially high in 2025 because of the Windows 11 requirements, now prices have rocketed so sales are artificially low. The next step is presumably when the AI companies - and their investors - realise that they are not going to make a profit on all those tokens and some go belly-up. The Chinese are also going to be making more RAM and SSDs for their own market to avoid sanctions, prices are going to have to drop.

It's the southern states which see comparatively little benefit from DST.
What I - and presumably many others - find amusing about this is Tom Cotton - loyal to the point of idiocy - not being loyal enough for His Master. I'd guess that Cotton is now seeing more mileage in separating himself from his Glorious dead duck Leader except that his position on this particular issue has been clear for some time.

Last year campaigns used AI to make anti-Mamdani campaign ads making him say that he loves crime, and that black people were robbing stores because he would let them out of jail.

They're doing even more of them now, Netanyahu is running AI-generated commercials showing Mamdani and Erdogan crying that Netanyahu is bombing Iran.

This really should be illegal. It's using likeness for some pretty twisted ends.

no end to the Iran war in sight

Oh come on, the Iran war is going to end soon, it will be followed by some negotiations which will break down, at that point the counter will reset and there will be a new Iran war (totally unrelated to the previous two).
The Iran wars will end when Benji Netanyahu says so, and that is not about to happen.
