W tym odcinku opowiadam przede wszystkim o zmianach w świecie technologii i biznesu, które w ostatnich tygodniach wywołały sporo emocji. Zaczynam od Amazona i decyzji dotyczącej starszych modeli Kindle, które po 20 maja stracą dostęp do nowych treści, a potem przechodzę do satelitarnego wyścigu zbrojeń, gdzie Amazon próbuje dogonić Starlinka. Wspominam też o historycznym, choć nie w pełni udanym locie Blue Origin z rakietą New Glenn i o tym, jak rozwija się rynek kosmicznej łączności.

Dużo miejsca poświęcam również Tesli i jej systemowi Full Self-Driving Supervised, który po raz pierwszy uzyskał zgodę w Europie, a także szerszej debacie o sztucznej inteligencji po obu stronach Atlantyku. Porównuję europejskie podejście Mistral AI do amerykańskiej wizji Palantira, omawiam spór Anthropic z Pentagonem oraz kontrowersje wokół wykorzystania danych i AI w sektorze publicznym.

Na koniec przyglądam się Wielkiej Brytanii, jej zależności technologicznej od USA i nowemu funduszowi Sovereign AI Fund, a także zmianom w Atlassian, które dotyczą nowych narzędzi AI i sposobu wykorzystywania danych klientów.

LAS VEGAS–I’m typing this from a press room in the Las Vegas Convention Center barely three months after I spent too much time in that facility for CES. Credit or blame for this trip goes to a different Washington-area trade group, the National Association of Broadcasters. Tuesday, I will be moderating an NAB Show panel about the state of content creation that features two people who are better at Instagram than me: Juliana Broste and my fellow former USA Today columnist Jefferson Graham.

4/13/2026: Journalists Applaud the Internet Archive’s Role In Preserving the Public Record, Fight for the Future

A staffer with Public Knowledge e-mailed me a few weeks ago to ask if I would be willing to sign a letter supporting the Internet Archive’s efforts to preserve the history of the Web and possibly provide a quote about how I’d used the Archive. Having repeatedly relied on the Archive’s Wayback Machine to link back to my own past published work, I said I would be happy to do that–having already donated $100 to that San Francisco non-profit in January.

4/13/2026: Roblox Adds Account Restrictions for Younger Users, Expands Age Verification, PCMag

I attended a press roundtable Monday morning featuring some Roblox trust-and-safety executives, allowing me to enrich this writeup of the platform’s changes with quotes from that conversation.

4/15/2026: T-Mobile Grounds Free In-Flight Wi-Fi Benefit for United Airlines Passengers, PCMag

I had the dumb luck to see this change firsthand on a flight from Denver to San Jose Tuesday, then needed the rest of that day to get some responses from T-Mobile and United. The airline’s switch to free Starlink connectivity will fix this problem, but we are months away from that rollout reaching a significant fraction of United’s mainline fleet.

4/17/2026: Like It or Not, Google Wants to Be Your AI Travel Buddy This Summer, PCMag

I wrote up this post off an embargoed copy of Google’s announcement that we had to correct the next day because I had missed two of the finer points of this bundle of news. In my halfhearted defense, it is more work than you might realize keeping track of Google’s ongoing efforts to infuse AI into its existing services.

4/17/2026: How NTT Research’s Upgrade 2026 Helps Silicon Valley Get Ready for The Future, Mark Vena

My industry-analyst pal had do a quick video from NTT Research’s Upgrade conference in San Jose, Calif.–with that firm covering my travel costs–about some of its initiatives.

4/18/2026: 2026 Consumer Electronics Show and Lots More!, Potomac Area Technology and Computer Society/Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Personal Computer User Group/Washington Apple Pi

Despite that title–picked by the organizers at PATACS, pronounced “Pat-Aces”–I spent more time talking about other topics. Among them: my switch from Evernote to Obsidian just in time for CES, the sad state of tech policy in Washington, and my takes on self-driving cars and what’s befallen the Washington Post. As I have in previous appearances before these folks, I showed up with a bag of trade-show swag and gave away all of it.

4/19/2026: Blue Origin Rocket Launches, Then Loses AST SpaceMobile BlueBird Satellite, PCMag

I watched the third launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket on my phone as I was walking up to the security checkpoint at Dulles early Sunday morning, started writing up what I thought was a successful launch, then learned–via painfully slow inflight WiFi–that New Glenn’s second stage had failed to deliver AST’s mobile-broadband BlueBird satellite to the intended orbit. This is a real black eye for Blue that should outweigh its achievement in reflying a New Glenn booster and then landing it on a barge in the Atlantic.

During the New Glenn 3 mission, BlueBird 7 was placed into a lower than planned orbit by the upper stage of the launch vehicle. While the satellite separated from the launch vehicle and powered on, the altitude is too low to sustain operations with its on-board thruster technology and will de-orbited.

During the New Glenn 3 mission, BlueBird 7 was placed into a lower than planned orbit by the upper stage of the launch vehicle. While the satellite separated from the launch vehicle and powered on, the altitude is too low to sustain operations with its on-board thruster technology and will de-orbited.

#Isaacman said it is important for #SpaceX’s #Starship and #BlueOrigin’s #NewGlenn rocket 🚀 to reach higher launch cadences to support not just Artemis III but many future missions to the lunar 🌙 surface. #NASA is clearly watching both closely.

During Artemis III, the #Orion spacecraft will launch (presumably with four astronauts 🧑‍🚀) on a #SLS rocket. In Earth orbit, they will rendezvous with one or both of NASA’s #HLS (Starship’s upper stage and a modified #BlueMoon lander)
