The small town of Festus, Missouri
— a community made up of just under 14,000 people
— has become a focal point over the growing backlash against
AI data centers entering communities across the country.
Following the approval of a $6 billion data center project,
voters removed four of the eight members of the Festus city council,
as well as started a petition to remove the remaining city council members and the mayor, reports Politico.

Finally, Volkswagen is launching a V2G tariff in Germany. It is now scheduled for launch in Q4 2026.
Although Volkswagen was the first German car manufacturer to release bidirectional charging functionality in their vehicles, they are now behind BMW, Mercedes and Ford (whose EVs use VW technology) in terms of announcing an actual charger and tariff bundle.

An electric vehicle is plugged into a charging station against a wooden backdrop. Colorful lines suggest energy transfer. Text promotes a new energy transition initiative from Elli, mentioning V2G technology coming soon.
A white Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle is prominently displayed against a purple background. Smaller illustrations of various electric cars are scattered around, with the text "Electric vehicles based on the MEB platform" above.

Over the past few days and weeks, I’ve decided to downsize my digital and tech collection. I own so many computers, laptops, smartphones, smartwatches, accessories, and so on—I can never really use it all. I bought a lot of it just to own the latest “hot stuff.”
That’s why I’ve gotten rid of most of it—either giving it away or selling it for very little. And I’ve kept only the bare essentials. Often not even the newest or best.

Big Tech ist Meister der Steuervermeidung. Die Politik reagiert mit einem „Plattform-Soli“. Doch laut Michael Kolain greift die Idee zu kurz: Sonderabgaben haben enge verfassungsrechtliche Grenzen – und selbst wenn sie kommen, bleibt die eigentliche Frage ungelöst: Wie besteuert man digitale Gewinne wirklich dort, wo sie entstehen?

KPMG gets money off its own audit by arguing Al makes accounting cheaper
Financial Times UK
STEPHEN FOLEY — NEW YORK
7 Feb 2026
KPMG has negotiated lower fees from its own accountant by arguing that AI will make it cheaper to do the work, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Big Four firm told its auditor, Grant Thornton UK, it should pass on cost savings from the rollout of Al and threatened to find a new accountant if it

Figures from Ideagen Audit Analytics, which tracks public company disclosures, have shown audit fees continuing to climb as accounting firms ploughed money into Al investments in recent years. Its European survey found average audit fees rose in every country bar one in the previous year.

Curtis Yarvin tourt durch Europa – vom Identitären-Umfeld in Wien bis zu Intellektuellentreffen in Elmau. Wie Claudia Zettel zeigt: Der antidemokratische Blogger liefert Tech-Milliardären wie Peter Thiel die Ideologie für „CEO-Monarchien“. Keine Wahlen, keine Mitbestimmung. Kein Randphänomen.

Just made a little correction to the JavaScript Database (JSDB) Table Events section:
Previously, the example that listens for the JSTable.PERSIST event was erroneously stating that the table was deleted when the `type` property in the event handlers parameter object was JSTable.DELETE. It now correctly states that the value at `keypath` was deleted.
I also documented the JSTable.PERSIST types so they wouldn’t be confused with the JSTable event types (persist and delete; the latt…

In manchen Tech-Debatten reicht der falsche Browser – und du bist digital abgeschrieben.
Chrome? Problematisch.
Windows? Ganz schwierig.
Gmail? Praktisch Kapitulation.
Manchmal wirkt es, als wären Tools eine Weltanschauung.
Dabei wollten wir doch eigentlich Menschen für Datenschutz und digitale Souveränität gewinnen – nicht sie aus dem Club ausschließen.
Vielleicht brauchen wir weniger Dogma und mehr Pragmatismus.

A cartoon-style pig-like humanoid character is depicted against a dark purple to pink gradient background. The character has gray skin with red stripes across its face, snout, and neck, and brown hair styled in a mohawk on top of its head with a braid on one side. It features prominent white tusks, red eyes, and a stern, focused expression. The figure wears light gray armor with purple shoulder pads and metallic silver accents on the chest plate and belt.

Die heißeste Tech-Karriere 2026? Nicht Coden. Schreiben. Laut Amanda Hoover zahlen Firmen wie Netflix oder Anthropic bis zu 775.000 $, um KI verständlich zu erklären und die „AI-Story“ zu erzählen. Ironie der Geschichte: Nachdem Maschinen Texte erzeugen, braucht es Menschen, die erklären, was das alles eigentlich bedeutet.

A comment from Youtube by redblack9618, concerning the attached video with the new male player model for Satisfactory:

"Look, facts don't care about your feelings. Science tells us that 1: life begins at conception, 2: all fetuses begin female and differentiate later in development, and 3: you can't change your biological sex, and therefore the default is being a WOMAN. Get this woke "male model" nonsense out of my video games, I hate when you shove politics down out throats!"
