Computer Science Grads Are Being Forced to Work Fast Food Jobs as AI Tanks Their Career

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-25 03:17:03

Until very recently, studying computer science — or some variation thereof — was considered among the best bets an incoming college freshman could make. Now, as the New York Times reports based on interviews with experts and recent CS graduates alike, those who did are struggling to find work in fast food, nevermind as entry-level coders, amid massive tech industry layoffs — 592 per day, according to the Tech Layoff Tracker from the Trueup jobs platform — and rampant use of AI coding tools.

Most impressive was Jeff, whose wealthy family was able to provide him with key support technology, notably a talking computer (a bigger deal back then) and a guide dog (still a big deal today). Augmented with such technology, he did pretty well, and in some ways better than the rest of us—a golden labrador is a great tool for ma

Apple folds on one change to its new Camera app in latest iOS 26 beta

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-26 06:04:20

Apple has delighted many iOS 26 beta users while also potentially frustrating a few others by introducing a modification to the revamped Camera app. Two beta releases ago, Apple changed the swipe direction for switching shooting modes in the redesigned Camera app on iOS 26. Rather than swiping in the opposite direction of where you want the UI to move, as if you were rotating a physical dial beneath your finger, iOS 26 beta 4 instead moved the glass slider in the direction of your finger.

A few years ago I had some pain on the top right side of my right foot that wouldn't go away so I went to a podiatrist to get it checked out. He said it was nothing serious and suggested I purchase a pair of Oofos recovery slides and not only wear them instead of my shoes as much as possible but wear them inside my apartment instead of going barefoot. I like the Oofos -- and they indeed helped cure my foot problem -- but I recently tried a new pair of slides from Oka Recovery that are slightly b
