Sorry to rake over a painful subject, but we need to talk about the continuing disastrous effect of Brexit on the UK automotive industry.Car makers operating in the UK were always opposed to Brexit, mainly because it made life a lot more complicated.

Image: Amazon Amazon is coming for the final frontier… and your signal bars The tech giant announced Tuesday that it has entered a definitive agreement to acquire satellite operator Globalstar for approximately $11.57 billion. The deal, priced at $90 per share, marks Amazon’s largest move yet to bolster its “Amazon Leo” satellite network, formerly known as Project Kuiper, as it tries to close the gap with Elon Musk’s Starlink. The acquisition is expected to close in 2027, provided Globalstar hits certain satellite launch milestones and clears regulatory hurdles. Under the terms, Globalstar shareholders can choose to receive $90 in cash…
Image: Ed Hardie/Unsplash Another Microsoft app is headed for the graveyard, as millions of Android users are set to lose access to Outlook Lite in six weeks. Microsoft’s decision to kill the app has been in motion for months, beginning with a phased retirement period on Oct. 6, 2025, when the app left the Google Play Store and new downloads were effectively halted. That transition period is now closing, with reports confirming that Outlook Lite will be fully shut down on May 25, 2026, ending all in-app functionality for existing users. Microsoft now urges Android users to switch to Outlook…
Image: Berke Cita / Unsplash X says it is reducing payouts to accounts that post clickbait, extending a pattern in which the platform punishes unwanted behavior by cutting creator earnings instead of removing posts. For creators who depend on revenue sharing, that means the content may stay up while the income behind it becomes less predictable. The larger problem is that X is now penalizing behavior that its own program design helped reward. A system built around scale, recurring visibility, and monetizable engagement made attention-chasing formats economically rational long before the platform moved to cut their payouts. X is targeting…
The latest monthly Patch Tuesday update from Microsoft landed earlier on 14 April, including two notable zero-day flaws amid a total of over 160 distinct issues, and almost 250 accounting for third-party and Chromium releases. Described as “monstrous” in its scope by Dustin Childs of TrendAI’s (formerly Trend Micro’s) Zero Day Initiative, this may be among the largest Patch Tuesday updates in history. Childs suggested that based on his own experience, this may be the result in a growing number of submissions uncovered by artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Jack Bicer, vulnerability research director at Action1, said: “The elevated number…
Image: Generated via Google’s Nano Banana Adobe rushed an emergency patch for a critical flaw under active attack.

Have you listened to Amy Poehler’s podcast episode with Fred Armisen? Oh my gosh, I laughed 1,000 times, including when they talked about free climbing, Texas accents, and Fred pretending to be an expert on the Alaskan Pipeline. Nailed it. The sun finally came out today, and everyone in our neighborhood is basically skipping down the street. Such a mood-boost! I’m excited to wear white again and am eyeing this pretty shirt, cropped pant, and splurgy but stunnnnning dress. Hailee Catalano’s pigs-in-a-blanket recipe makes me want to throw a party. The peppers! Have you read anything good lately? I’m halfway…
Image: HubSpot HubSpot has launched a new AEO tool designed to help businesses see how they appear in AI-generated answers and respond with content recommendations inside Marketing Hub. The launch targets a growing problem for marketers: buyers are increasingly asking AI tools the same questions they once typed into search engines. If a brand is not cited in those answers, it can lose visibility before a prospect ever reaches its website.

What is answer engine optimization and how does AEO SEO differ from traditional SEO? Answer engine optimization is the practice of optimizing content so…
