SpaceX Is Junk. That’s What the Bond Market Says
The bond market’s assessment also jibes with SpaceX’s stock. It’s a profitless, non-dividend-paying, one-person-controlled, empire-building project trading at more than 100 times sales, about 30 times the valuation of the S&P 500 Index. That’s the very definition of a junk stock.Original link: bloomberg.com/opinion/articles…

Bubble pop indicator: Meta doesn't need all the compute its locked in. will compete with other rental services.
The big AI lie is that compute capacity is scarce. The fraud was propped up by SpaceX announcing big rental deals with "friends" (google a big owner of spacex, with deal 1 week before IPO) that have massive exit clauses for the buyers.
AI hype started with Meta/Xai needing all of their compute for their own AI ambitions, and that was the source for compute scarcity. That they have no special competency means that they resell their compute, is flooding an already well supplied compute market.

Disabling Windows 11 Recall, AI "Click to Do", and Telemetry via Group Policy - 2026 Manual Guide
As a Linux user forced into a temporary truce with Windows for gaming handheld compatibility, I refuse to run the OS in its "out of the box" state. I’ve put together a manual optimisation guide that skips the "one-click" de-bloat scripts and focuses on permanent Group Policy (gpedit) and system-level tweaks to make the OS semi-tolerable.
The Guide Covers:
Killing AI Spyware: Disabling the "Recall" background service, snapshot recording, and "Click to Do" screen scraping.
Telemetry Lockdown: Redirecting "Allow Diagnostic Data" to the Security level (0).
Start Menu Surgery: Decoupling search from Bing to keep local file searches actually local.
Performance recovery: Disabling Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) and background hypervisors for bare-metal gaming speed.
Edge/Widget Removal: Stopping background "loitering" and accidental UI stutters.
This is a reproducible, manual workflow for those who want a clean(er) environment without relying on third-party scripts.
