This Is the Commodore Comeback Fans Have Waited for—but the Odds Are Still Against It

wired.com Craig Grannell 2026-01-08 23:00:00

In 1994, Commodore crashed and burned. Once a home computing giant across the US and Europe, the company was undone by mismanagement and misfires. The carcass was picked clean and the pieces resold so many times that it was hard to keep track, but with each new owner came the inevitable—an attempt to make a fast buck by slapping the famous C= logo on any old junk. Fans watched in horror as the brand appeared on the mediocre Web.it all-in-one PC, the bizarrely named Gravel in Pocket media player

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 09:08:22

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is suing the creators of BadBox 2.0, a botnet that infected 10 million off-brand Android devices. The malware often came pre-installed on cheap streaming boxes, tablets, and projectors, mostly made in China. Infected devices were used for ad fraud and to hide other cybercriminals’ activity behind your home network. Before they even turned it on, the device was already infected. That’s the reality for millions who unknowingly bought Android-powe

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-09 14:12:09

Random selection is necessary to create stable meritocratic institutions

Campbell's Law (a variant of Goodhart's Law) states that the more a metric is used for social decision-making, the more it will be subject to corruption which distorts and corrupts not only the metric itself, but the very social processes it was meant to measure. Selection criteria for a position of authority are one example of such a metric. When selection criteria are opaque, it is difficult for them to become a target, preserving their utility as measures.
