futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-05 14:15:14

If you're trying to find out what a restaurant has to offer, you might look up its menu, or go to its Facebook page. Hell, you could call and ask. But that's all démodé. Why not query an AI chatbot, a piece of software notorious for inventing facts out of the tokenized ether of the internet, and treat its answer like the word of God? Here's why: because you'd annoy the hell out of the restaurant. Just ask the beleaguered owners of the Montana eatery Stefanina's Wentzville, who are begging thei

Microsoft said last week that it plans to stop providing discounts on enterprise purchases of its Microsoft 365 productivity software subscriptions and other cloud applications.

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has removed tax and fee-inclusive pricing from all new 5G Home Internet plans as of August 6th. Existing customers are grandfathered in, though it’s certainly possible that T-Mobile will do what it can to get its customer base to slowly switch away to newer plans.
