Weekly output: customer satisfaction scores, Qualcomm Quick Charge, TiVo OS, The Onion

This week started at home, then took me out of town first to New Orleans for the Online News Association’s conference (the ninth I’ve attended), followed by Los Angeles for Cranky Dorkfest (my overdue introduction to that avgeek meetup).

9/9/2025: This PC Maker Just Pushed Apple Out of the Top Spot for Customer Satisfaction, PCMag

I had more time than I thought I would Monday to write this when jury duty turned into a roughly 20-minute exercise–they seated the jury they needed right before my reporting time.

9/10/2025: Qualcomm Quick Charge Tech Gets Big Update. Will It Appear on Any US Phones?, PCMag

One of my editors asked if I could pick up this embargoed item, and I had enough slack time in my schedule Tuesday to make that happen.

9/12/2025: Xperi’s TiVo OS aims to bring search and simplicity to TV makers, Light Reading

After a show-floor interview at IFA that gave me about 95% of what I needed, it took a few more days for Xperi’s PR firm to confirm a couple of details, after which I wrote and filed the piece for my telecom trade-pub client during some downtime at ONA Thursday afternoon.

9/14/2025: The Onion CEO Unloads on AI’s Joke-Writing Skills, Says Infowars Purchase Still on the Table, PCMag

Having seen Ben Collins on a panel at SXSW 2019, I thought he would make an engaging, funny speaker at ONA. He was, but he also made some serious points about the Trump administration’s frequent hostility to dissent and the need for journalists to resist that pressure.

Saw this old article come across the timeline:

I'm sure this is just a coincidence, but I can't help finding it horrifically funny that they used the name "Paul Campbell." Paul Campbell was a pseudonym used by the Weavers for their writing, and of course, the Weavers played the music (by then 30 to 40 years old), that I listened to in my teen years and which put me hopelessly out of touch with my generation.

@tootbrute

Oh come on - The Onion is meant to be satire.

"Elon throws tantrum, fires folks" is expected behaviour, not satire.

Is this categorising of Musk' s expected behaviour as being somehow "different and remarkable" part of some ongoing #ReputationLaundering campaign?

If so then sorry to see #TheOnion has been corrupted just like #TheGuardian and the #TheAtlantic.
