For all of the money and clout Meta has, it can't stop the triennial emergence of a whistleblower revealing how awful its leadership is. Careless People, the tell-all memoir from former staffer Sarah Wynn-Williams is the latest, dishing plenty of dirt on the house of Zuckerberg. The book has shot to the top of The New York Times' bestseller list despite Meta's attempts to suppress it.
There's plenty of scorn for Joel Kaplan, the former George W. Bush staffer and friend of Brett Kavanaugh, who has long been seen as the figure behind Facebook's rightward pull. Kaplan is accused of blocking attempts to address the company's role in the Myanmar genocide. The book suggests Kaplan didn't know Taiwan was an island, and that he reportedly harassed Wynn-Williams.
What's surprising, really, is how unsurprising many of the revelations are, from Zuckerberg's venality to the company's general indifference to the harms it creates. It's not likely many of the claims here will make many people reconsider their relationship with the company and its products, either.
Fujifilm has been on a hot streak for a while, to the point it's looking to flex its muscles with some absolutely wild specs. The company announced the GFX100RF medium format compact camera with, wait for it, a 102 megapixel sensor. It's machined from a single block of aluminum, aping the aesthetic found on the company's other X-series cameras. I can't wait to see the hipsters who wanted something fancier than an X100 VI wasting this camera's talents in the next few years.
Google has announced the already widely leaked Pixel 9a, its latest budget addition to the Pixel line. It ditches the Pixel's famous camera bar in favor of a regular raised lens housing, but it has the same Tensor G4 chip as its pricier siblings. That will enable owners to harness some of the same AI smarts Google's been selling on the flagship Pixels at a far lower price. Check out Sam Rutherford's hands-on to see if your wallet might be tempted to crack open.
