Andy Quandt has opinions about bikes.   “I think your tires make way more difference for how your bike rides than frame material.”  Many opinions.  “There’s a bicycle surplus problem in this world.”  Strong opinions.   “The overall problem with the cycling world is how focused it is on turning people into cyclists.”  Such hard-won wisdom doesn’t always make for great customer service. But it does make for fantastic video content, and that’s precisely what Quandt has been working on since he started his “BikeFarmer” YouTube channel in 2023. He’s not shy about sharing his opinions. His most popular videos have titles like “Bike Shop A$$H0LE tells how you’ve been duped! 10 reasons your bike is WRONG (or maybe right)!” Quandt, who grew up in Lake Mills and attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, has been involved in the Madison bike scene his entire adult life. In college, he worked at Budget Bicycle Center as a mechanic while studying creative writing and technical communications. After college, he changed tracks and worked as a high-powered semiconductor diode laser technician.  “I cut my hair and got a real job,” he says. “It sucked.”  When the predicted fiber-optic boom never happened, that job went away and Quandt

Executive Intelligence Snapshot India and Afghanistan have agreed to establish a joint working group to develop a long-term roadmap for cooperation in agriculture and livestock. The agreement formalises bilateral engagement through a standing mechanism focused on seed technology, irrigation and water management. Beyond its technical scope, the initiative signals continued political engagement between New Delhi and Kabul and is likely to support India’s efforts to preserve influence in Afghanistan amid regional competition. Context India and Afghanistan agreed to establish a joint working group following bilateral talks held in New Delhi on 7 July 2026 between India’s Minister of Agriculture, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and Afghanistan’s Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, Mawlawi Ataullah Omari. According to India’s Ministry of Agriculture, the working group will facilitate regular institutional engagement and identify additional areas of cooperation based on the priorities of both governments. Afghanistan requested India’s support in transferring advanced seed technologies to increase wheat productivity. India offered to provide high-quality wheat, maize and potato seeds, including climate-resilient and biofortified crop varieties. Afghanistan also requested technical assistance in irrigation, rainwater harvesting and watershed development to address water shortages and climate-related pressures. India stated its willingness to share its technical expertise in these sectors.

Meta is in breach of the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), a preliminary investigation has found, over the “addictive” design of Instagram and Facebook. It’s likely to be forced to redesign both apps and could face a fine of up to $12 billion. The European Commission said Meta “did not adequately assess the risks of its addictive design on the physical and mental wellbeing of users, including minors and vulnerable adults.” It singled out features like personalized recommendations, autoplay, and infinite scroll, arguing that they “fuel the user’s urge to keep scrolling and shift the brain into ‘autopilot mode.’” The report also criticizes the tools Meta provides to help limit users’ use. It says that time management tools can be easily dismissed; parental controls require technical expertise, effort, and time on behalf of the parents to be effective; and that Meta’s mental health awareness measures are too limited to mitigate the risks. Meta may have to redesign both Facebook and Instagram, according to the Commission. It suggests disabling features like autoplay and infinite scroll by default,  » Read More

Working similarly to explicit labels on records, the tags will distinguish between "AI-generated" and "AI-assisted" songs. AI robot conducting music notes on beige background - stock illustration Malte Mueller, Getty Images Trending on Billboard IFPI, RIAA, the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM), the Worldwide Independent Network (WIN), the European Independent Music Companies Association (IMPALA), The Grammys, SAG-AFTRA and the Human Artistry Campaign have joined together to create a new system for tagging AI-generated songs on streaming services. Much like the explicit label on records with inappropriate language and content, these AI tags are expected to work similarly. The committee suggests the creation of two tags — one labeled “AI-generated,” which notes a song that includes AI in key instrumentals, lead vocals or was created entirely via a prompt, and one labeled “AI-assisted,” which notes songs that include AI in some parts, but humans still perform the lead vocals and instrumentals. A press release states that the labels will be made available in the “near future” and will be reported voluntarily. “Fans want to know whether and how generative AI has been used in the music to which they listen,” Vikki Oakley, CEO of IFPI, and Mitch Glazier, chairman and

Oh Chan-jong's Daily New York: Bending Spoons Edition Bending Spoons, which debuted on the U.S. Nasdaq Stock Market on the 1st local time There are brands that once dominated the internet but were pushed aside by Big Tech and faded into memory. They include AOL Inc. (AOL), the iconic name of early web surfing, Evernote, the must-have note-taking app for workers around the world, and Vimeo, the video platform that was once a playground for creators. One company has gathered up these aging apps, which were dismissed as relics and left to die, like a junk dealer collecting scrap. Then, this week, it appeared on Nasdaq and stunned the market by instantly creating a massive jackpot worth 39 trillion won. That company is Bending Spoons, a distinctive software portfolio firm from Milan, Italy. ◆A record-setting Nasdaq debut after a failed startup comeback Bending Spoons made its Nasdaq debut on July 1 local time, and its stock surged from the first day of trading. Starting at the IPO price of $29 per share, the stock jumped 39.7% on day one alone and closed at $40.50. The market reaction far exceeded expectations.
