Europe's scorching summer could cost EU economies €180 billion

Extreme heat could cost EU economies around €180 billion this year, roughly 1% of GDP and almost exactly the growth the bloc had been expecting for 2026, with France facing the heaviest blow of the big member states.

These are my favorite videos to make and have also been very well received. If you know the city, please let me know what you think I should visit and film. I want to experience how technology impacts everyday lives in the city.

- Everyay tech

Insane to think that this is Moscow.

If these attacks become common in Moscow then I think it will do a lot of damage to the Russian psyche. It will completely change how the war feels to them and might make them wonder whether they want the war to continue.

And there is no reason to assume the attacks will slow.

The bike parking in our new space is SO nice. Physically easy to access, behind a locked door, and with racks that have plastic spacers so they don't scratch your bike.

It's insane that this is a rare luxury. Nobody would accept car parking that was designed to routinely scratch your car or required you to perform yoga to get your car in or out, but for bikes that is usually the norm. I'm super happy that it's not here!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@verge/116714923712600528

Ai executives must simultaneously explain two contradictory things to the public:

1. AI will soon be omnipotent and able to do all jobs
2. Despite this, it will somehow NOT make a meaningful amount of humans unemployed.

Only one of these two things can be true at the same time. If #1 is false, their investment thesis is wrong and they are wasting money. If #2 is false, the economy collapses and you get a revolution.

YT likely does this to growth-hack DMs. When someone clicks on the link, YT can start a DM thread between you two automatically with this ID even if they found the link outside of the YT app.

As a European investor I started diversifying my investments away from US securities because even beyond moral considerations I see 2 major risk factors:
- Will business thrive in a country if it gives up all semblance of the rule of law and fair competition? If the US becomes an oligarchy like Russia, can it remain innovative?
- Will my property rights in US securities be respected as a foreigner if my country is in conflict with the US?

Ah I just read the comments and was reminder again that I am both an Apple hater and an Apple apologist, while also being simultaneously a CCP shill and unquestioningly supportive of the US tech war on China.

Looks like my job is done, time to log off 😇

Got a bit overwhelmed with the world so I spent the whole day biking to a park, reading a few chapters of a good book, riding to the next park, reading a few more chapters, etc. 9am-6pm. Like a holiday in my own city. What an incredibly relaxing thing!

I've been seeing a lot of these across Berlin. Are US brands feeling nervous about their American image? 🤔🤔🤔

I really wish Google spent 1% of their Ai budget figuring out the incredibly complex task of recognising that 100 comments suddenly flooding a video promoting a single crypto currency miiiiight be a scam

Merz says he won't put pride flags on Bundestag for pride. So BVG (the Berlin public transportation company) put pride flags all over the Bundestag station 😂

I recently realized that you can just buy random discarded silicon wafers off of Amazon / AliExpress for a few bucks. Just got my first one. Will be a nice video prop 😎

Applying for a US press visa right now and this message is on the top of every page. I wonder if they know about the existence of Mastodon, lol.

Anyway, long live the American leaders who have never done anything wrong and are flawless in every way.

Wish me luck 🤞🤞🤞

My grandma has been walking around my favorite Berlin streets with me for 2 days and without me saying anything she picked up on how few cars there are, vs the huge number of bikes & pedestrians. She legit can't stop talking about it and I think I might have accidentally created a radical anti-car activist 😂

Landed in Switzerland at 8:50 (as in, the wheels touching ground). By 9:05 I was in a train. By 10:02 I will be at my destination in another city. Fucking love it when infrastructure works 😭

First time I'm seeing a live stream via Peertube with 200+ live viewers. Pretty solid looking visual quality and a decent streaming experience!

(this is for the launch of e/OS 3 by Murena - choose freedom! (npub1hn8…g0mt) )

This floating AI turd button in Excel has been genuinely infuriating. It's distracting, laggy and only turns off temporarily.

What are the best / worst AI product integrations you've seen? I'm making a list for a future video.

My superpower is that I'm a tech youtuber with very little desire to upgrade my tech. As one example, I have been using these random USB speakers I found literally on the street discarded for about 5 years now. The probably cost, like 20 bucks a decade ago and still work great 😁
