American consumers are on the cusp of tough choices because of President Donald Trump’s trade war.

Ships now pulling into US harbors from China are the first to be subject to the massive tariffs that America is imposing on most Chinese imports. That means, in a matter of weeks, consumers will face higher prices and shortages of certain items.

 

As far as I can make out, Amazon’s warehouses are highly structured, extremely organized, very tidy, absolute raging messes. Everything in an Amazon warehouse is (usually) exactly where it’s supposed to be, which is typically jammed into some pseudorandom fabric bin the size of a shoebox along with a bunch of other pseudorandom crap. Somehow, this turns out to be the most space and time efficient way of doing things, because (as we’ve written about before) you have to consider the process of stowing items away in a warehouse as well as the process of picking them, and that involves some compromises in favor of space and speed.

For humans, this isn’t so much of a problem. When someone orders something on Amazon, a human can root around in those bins, shove some things out of the way, and then pull out the item that they’re looking for. This is exactly the sort of thing that robots tend to be terrible at, because not only is this process slightly different every single time, it’s also very hard to define exactly how humans go about it.

As you might expect, Amazon has been working very very hard on this picking problem. Today at an event in Germany, the company announced Vulcan, a robotic system that can both stow and pick items at human(ish) speeds.

Check Point Research uncovered a sophisticated phishing campaign that abuses Discord and targets crypto users. Attackers redirects users from a legitimate Web3 website to a fake Collab.Land bot and then to a phishing site, tricking them into signing malicious transactions. The drainer script deployed on that site was directly linked to Inferno Drainer. Despite publicly shutting down in late 2023, Inferno Drainer remained fully operational. Smart contracts deployed in 2023 continued to be used into 2025. Recent campaigns show notable technical upgrades and infrastructure improvements. Inferno Drainer employs advanced anti-detection tactics — including single-use and short-lived smart contracts, on-chain encrypted configurations, and proxy-based communication — successfully bypassing wallet security mechanisms and anti-phishing blacklists. In just the last six months, more than 30,000 wallets were victimized by Inferno Drainer, resulting in at least $9 million in losses. The combination of evolving technical sophistication and convincing social engineering continues to drive the success of these attacks.

I just wanted to add my valuable insight to the discussion here: Fuck Cars.

That is a hard one, you might look into ope source drive solutions, but that would require some setup and if you use a lot of space then also money.

To answer your question, I don't endorse the following solution, but I think it would still be 1% better than using Discord: If you already have Telegram, you can use Whitehole.

Q: Can I donate?

A: We appreciate that people want to support us, but we never have and never will accept donations. We maintain this project because its fun and we want to help others, not make money.

Via their FAQs.

I really hope you keep believing in the value of your app and never stop developing it. It might sound like a small step towards overall more privacy, but every kid who use your opensource and private app instead of the ads and trackers filled closed source apps is a person who is not benefiting the Capitalism which is killing people privacy.

So... Who to blame for this? The parents who did not care enough to restrict their kids phone time or the good developer who is trying to preserve kids privacy by offering a open-source game?
