If someone constantly complains about having no time but scrolls their phone for two hours every evening, something far more serious than poor time management is happening — and these 7 patterns explain the real issue

We all know someone like this. They’re constantly swamped. No time for the gym. No time to read. No time to catch up with old friends. Life is just too hectic.

Nothing Headphone (a) unboxing

Nothing has new over-ear headphones on the market, and they make the already aggressively-priced Nothing Headphone (1) seem overpriced. At £149 / $199 / €159, you're getting a lot for not a lot. Let's see the box. The Nothing Headphone (a) ships with a simple carrying bag, a USB-C cable, and a 3.5mm cable. The bag isn't padded, so it won't protect the headphones from damage, but you've gotta cut... Read more

Research suggests people who read before bed every night have a fundamentally different brain than people who watch TV

Most people end their day the same way: screen on, brain off. A show, a scroll, maybe both at once. It’s the path of least resistance, and after a long day, resistance is exactly what nobody has the energy for. But neuroscience research is making something increasingly clear: the activity you choose for the last ... Read more Read more

EFF Tells Publishers: Blocking the Internet Archive Won't Stop AI, But It Will Erase The Historical Record

"Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper," writes EFF senior policy analyst Joe Mullin. "That's effectively what's begun happening online in the last few months." The Internet Archive — the world's largest digital library — has preserved newspapers since it went online in the mid-1990s... But in recent months The New York Times began blocking the Archive from crawling its... Read more

Приветствую читателей. На днях, после тысячной новости о том, что Anthropic выпустил очередную свистоперделку, я решил, что действовать нужно на опережение и посмотреть, в каком состоянии сейчас находятся передовые коммерческие разработки.

Как SEO–специалисту всё успевать: работа vs развитие личного бренда

Пятница, 23:40. Ты закрыл последний клиентский отчёт, ответил на 30 сообщений в телеге – и вдруг вспомнил: «Я же хотел написать кейс на VC ещё две недели назад». Знакомо? Личный бренд SEO–специалиста откладывается на потом, но это «потом» никогда не наступает. А между тем именно публичность разделяет тех, кто сидит на биржах за 15 000 ₽ в месяц, и тех, кто выбирает клиентов сам и ставит высокий чек.Ниже – мои... Read more
