Maxine Sweetman-Ive (@sweetmax22) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@BekoUK I bought a Beko VCS5125AR Upright Vacuum Cleaner in Red from AOL 27/2/21 and in the past week it has cut out after using it for 10mins and did not restart for 20mins. Not happy. I would like it swapped for a hoover that works competently for the use it was bought for!

David Bearman (@DavidBearman) reportedI had to call a business, while in car, this morning and got a busy signal. The look on my 12-yr old’s face… he had never heard that noise before. Wait until I play him the AOL dial up noise

stekkerauto 🚗⚡️ (@stekkerauto) reportedI still sometimes come across people who think that AI is a bad search engine that makes bad text and bad pictures, which is kind of like looking at the internet in 1997 and think it’s about AOL chat rooms. – Benedict Evans

Xavier Rivera (@XavierRiveraX) reportedPortSwigger's Gareth Heyes demonstrated CSS/HTML sanitizer-bypass attacks against 6 major webmail providers at Black Hat USA 2026, letting content inside an email escape the message boundary and hit the trusted interface: - Outlook (+Firefox): label-jacking spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen, captures the typed password - Gmail: image-set() bypass chained with prompt injection via Claude Cowork's Gmail connector to steal a Slack token - Yahoo/AOL: paste-race bug exposes a 12-character Medium login token - Fastmail: two CSS mutation bugs plus a UI-hijacking flaw, since fixed - Proton Mail: proxy bypass that leaked recipient IPs, patched on retest Public PoCs are still live. Guidance: isolate HTML email in sandboxed iframes, restrict CSS.

［ object Object ］ (@lucaswiman) reportedPlausible paths for Google: 1. They will also start falling behind in TPU design. TPUs will cease to even notionally be a realistic competitor to big players. Maybe they'll sell the IP and TSMC allocation to OpenAI or Anthropic or AMD, or spin it out into an underresourced separate entity. 2. GCP will do very well for a time. Existing LLM inference capacity is going to get more valuable over time, commanding higher prices. At some point, they'll be left with second-rate hardware that's been dramatically outcompeted by ultra-efficient RSI hardware and data centers. It's not inconceivable that their TPUs will literally have the HBM chips pried off of them to put into better hardware by a competitor. 3. Search will have gone from merely declining in usage to declining rapidly in revenue. This will continue for some time as a viable business, like AOL, Juno and yahoo, but with a shrinking user base of aging retirees or barely-online people. They will embrace every dark pattern in the book to adsmaxx, but their core "indexing and understanding all the world's information" will have long since been done much better by model companies. 4. They'll probably release a quite good Gemini or two from inertia this year. Not necessarily SOTA, but good enough to cause a stock rally. This is probably the last place for someone like Sergei Brin to assert control and save the company. 5. Eventually the massive amount of debt taken on building GCP and getting returned as buybacks will catch up with them after a credit downgrade. They'll get ripped apart for scraps at the org level, with stakes in various AI companies constituting most of their value, like yahoo! did with alibaba. Sundar Pichai will walk away enormously wealthy having maximized ******** out of some shareholder value.
