Welcome back to The FAIK Files! When tech gets weird, we're here to help make sense of it all.

This week, we’re tackling:

  • Meta’s latest moves—from layoffs to fact-checker cuts and a "Community Notes" pivot.
  • The TikTok vs. U.S. showdown, its ripple effects, and why users are flocking to RedNote.
  • Your exercise equipment’s creepy secrets—is your treadmill sniffing you?
  • Opening the conversation about power consumption of AI systems and its implications.

Subscribe to our BRAND NEW YouTube channel! We'll be adding a wide variety of content shortly, but would love your help building the subscriber base up before we release our first video. You can find the channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@theFAIKfiles
