The MAR10 Day celebrations this year have been fairly lowkey, but we’re not entirely done just yet. In case you missed it, Nintendo has added a new soundtrack to its Nintendo Music mobile application and sure enough it’s a Mario one!
Following on from Super Mario Bros. 2 last month and the Zelda: Link to the Past album last week, the latest soundtrack comes from Nintendo’s all-time NES classic Super Mario Bros. 3. This album is loaded with 42 tracks and has a total runtime of 32 minutes.

Following a complaint filed two years ago by a national pay-TV broadcaster, police in Germany say they now have three main suspects in custody following a huge law enforcement operation. Over 150 officers carried out searches against 18 suspects in 17 locations, with the aim of shutting down an as-yet unnamed illegal streaming operation with an estimated 30,000 subscribers. The three men, aged between 36 and 59, face charges including suspected commercial computer fraud, which carries a potential sentence of 10 years imprisonment.
For what appears to be operational reasons, police in Germany have only just revealed details of a massive law enforcement operation carried out against a pirate streaming operation last month.

There is a good chance that Google will be forced to sell off its Chrome browser, as the U.S. Department of Justice under Donald Trump is continuing to call for Google to divest the browser.
On Friday, the DoJ sent a new proposal [PDF] to the court in its ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Google, and the updated document still recommends that Google sell Chrome. Last year, Google was found to have a search monopoly, and antitrust regulators have since been deciding on the actions that should be taken to address Google’s anticompetitive practices.
The DoJ first asked the court to force the sale of Chrome back in November, under the Biden administration. Google donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund, and Google leadership heaped praise on Trump, perhaps in the hope that the Trump administration would scale back on its recommendations, but that does not appear to have happened.

If there’s one piece of advice that bears repeating about AI chatbots it’s “Don’t use them to seek factual information – they absolutely cannot be trusted to be right.”
A new study demonstrated the extent of the problem – but did show that Apple made a good choice in partnering with OpenAI’s ChatGPT for queries Siri can’t answer …
There are two well-known problems with trying to use LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok as a substitute for web searches:
- They are very often wrong
- They are very often very confident about their incorrect information

Jag hade dåligt tålamod i september 2015 och ville inte vänta tills Apple Watch lanserades i Sverige utan gjorde precis som så jag köpet min första iPhone – jag köpte den i utlandet,.
Jag hade inte tålamod att vänta, speciellt inte sedan Apple tillkännagivit våg två av lanseringar och Sverige inte var med. Jag har köpt en Apple Watch i utlandet.
Jag valde Sportmodellen med ett grönt armband. Sportmodellen då den tidigt konstaterades att ha den lite bättre skärmen än standardmodellen.

Klockan är en fullträff, den gör det Apple lovar, fungerar som Apple beskrivit och batteritiden är bättre än det Apple säger. I min digitala, påpassade och ibland stressiga tillvaro så är AppleWatch en tillgång och den kommer att förenkla flera funktioner. Huruvida du behöver en klocka är som sagt helt upp till dig.
