It’s good to have a legacy and good to be unique. Listen, I’ll give you two levels of structure. The one I think you’re poking at, I’ll proudly say, is there are 5,800 people at The New York Times. There’s somewhere along the lines of a couple thousand people in the newsroom for the core report, and they don’t work for me.

Fabio Verdelli Design Studio Introduces Minimalist DUNE Mouse Concept
Fabio Verdelli Design Studio has introduced a new wireless mouse concept that has caught the attention of the internet. Its distinct buttonless design echoes that of the Apple Magic Mouse. However, its form echoes more of a sci-fi craft with reflections meant to "mislead you through a multiple play of refractions."Shaped like a pebble, the ergonomic design incorporates vertical sand-colored grooves and a transparent outer casing that's sliced along the gentle undulations. The position where the scroll wheel is located is slightly raised for tactile feedback and the front and rear edges cut sharply inwards evoking the form of an SUV.The DUNE mouse is currently still in its prototype stage. Other projects by Verdelli currently available include a Jellyfish pushpin on Kickstarter which allows...

Adobe Launches Generative ‘Firefly’ AI, Where Users Can Simply Type To Edit Images

TikTok ban: all the news on the US’s crackdown on the video platform
A US-wide ban on the social media platform TikTok has grown increasingly possible in recent months. Although a potential ban has its roots in a Trump-era executive order, it has become an increasingly mainstream political position under President Joe Biden, whose administration has reportedly demanded that ByteDance, the app’s Chinese parent company, either sell off TikTok or face being banned in the US. The core concern is national security, namely that ByteDance’s ownership of TikTok could give the Chinese government a way to access personal data on the service’s 150 million US users. The federal government already bans its employees from installing the app on official devices, and it’s an increasingly similar story across state governments. There are also concerns that TikTok’s video re...
