Taiwan’s TSMC, the world’s largest contract computer chip maker, has announced it will be manufacturing advanced 3-nanometer semiconductors in Japan to meet booming AI demand.

A while ago I wrote about my early experiments with modifying the firmware of the Sony MZ-RH1, mainly driven by one long-standing annoyance: not being able to see track titles on the unit itself during playback.

Using nationally representative data from the 2020 and 2024 American National Election Studies (ANES), this paper traces how the U.S. social media landscape has shifted across platforms, demographics, and politics. Overall platform use has declined, with the youngest and oldest Americans increasingly abstaining from social media altogether. Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter/X have lost ground, while TikTok and Reddit have grown modestly, reflecting a more fragmented digital public sphere. Platform audiences have aged and become slightly more educated and diverse. Politically, most platforms have moved toward Republican users while remaining, on balance, Democratic-leaning. Twitter/X has experienced the sharpest shift: posting has flipped nearly 50 percentage points from Democrats to Republicans.

As casual users disengage and polarized partisans remain vocal, the online public sphere grows smaller, sharper, and more ideologically extreme.
