The story of the park begins in 2014, when Enrique Peña Nieto, the president of Mexico at the time, announced plans for a new transport hub for Mexico City. It would be built on the largely dry bed of Lake Texcoco, the body of water that had once surrounded Mexico City’s ancient ancestor, Tenochtitlán, the […]
A foldable phone isn’t for the faint of heart. They’re generally heavier, pricier, and have less capable cameras than a standard slab-style phone.

Unfortunately most developers don’t know that the HTML and JavaScript specs have implemented a native modal system via the popover attribute — let’s check […]
The greatest threat to AI datacenter expansion in 2026 might not be compute, land, or capital, but jet engines. Faced with multi-year delays to secure grid connections, data center developers have been racing to bolt ex-airliner turbine cores onto mobile generator trailers. These so-called aeroderivative gas turbines, long used in military and offshore energy, are […]
from the enshittification-ahoy dept Now that streaming subscriber growth has slowed, we’ve noted repeatedly how the streaming TV sector is falling into all of the bad habits that ultimately doomed traditional cable TV. That has involved chasing pointless “growth for growth’s sake” megamergers, imposing bottomless price hikes and new annoying restrictions, undermining labor, and cutting corners on […]
