The European Commission has announced that it will fine Google €2.95 billion, or around $3.5 billion, for violating European Union antitrust laws and "distorting competition in the advertising technology industry." The decision follows a similar ruling from earlier in 2025, where a US federal judge concluded that Google maintains a monopoly in online advertising technology. Google displays ads in search results, but it also has a dominant position as a software provider for online advertisers a

Practical approach for streaming UI from LLMs

LLMs have enabled us to solve a new class of problems with more flexibility than ever, but as they are language models, they are inherently text powered, which has led to AI-based UI being incredibly text heavy. As someone who has been creating experiences with web technology my entire life, I’m not satisfied with so much UI being replaced with text. At Vetted, we have been building a shopping research assistant, and shopping is an inherently visual and UI heavy space. Products need to display

How to free up and automatically manage disk space for WSL

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) lets you run a Linux environment directly on Windows. This is particularly useful for web development where you can develop and test applications in a Linux environment without leaving Windows. You can even run freeCodeCamp locally with it! But managing disk space can be a quite a challenge, as WSL uses virtual hard disks that do not automatically free up unused space. This tutorial will guide you through the process of manually compacting your WSL virtual har

Aug 9 2025 Solving the Nostr web clients attack vector One problem Nostr still has to deal with is the fact that web clients are "owned" by someone, because they rely so much on the domain name they're served from. Everything is fine with, say, https://coracle.social/, until npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn decides to shut it down or maybe he is threatened to include some malicious code in there, most Coracle users are going to fall for that and Nostr will feel

‘Jaws’ Is Coming to 4DX for the First Time as Part of Its 50th Anniversary Re-Release

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Jaws is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. While the traditional time to do a rewatch is the Fourth of July weekend, if you want to see the film bigger, sharper, and possibly louder than ever before, you’ll need to hold out until the end of August to catch Universal Pictures’ celebratory 4K re-release screenings in IMAX, RealD 3D, 4DX, and D-Box. Any of those formats would be a treat, bringing Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking blockbuster to giant scree
