A phishing message used real Booking.com reservation context to push a fake credit card verification page. Reporting it should have been simple. Instead, the official support path led through booking bureaucracy, hidden contact options and finally an email asking for the reservation PIN. After a breach involving customer data, Booking.com appears less like a platform prepared for cyber abuse and more like one still searching for the right department.

I gave Formula 1 another Chance. That was my Mistake.
After weeks of frustration, I gave Formula 1 another honest chance with Miami qualifying. It should have been the purest form of the sport: one lap, maximum attack, no excuses. Instead, the cars looked slow, sounded lifeless, and somehow made world-class drivers appear strangely irrelevant. When even qualifying makes a lifelong fan start zapping, Formula 1 has a problem.
Tesla FSD Supervised and the Dinosaur thinking around it
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Supervised is still dismissed as “just driver assistance” by many critics. But that misses the point entirely. While others debate labels, Tesla is solving the far harder problem: real-world driving across complex environments, powered by a software-first approach that improves at relentless speed. This is not about Level 3 badges or sensor checklists. It is about who is building the smarter, scalable, and ultimately more relevant model for the future of mobility.
Tesla’s FSD Deadline Farce
Tesla’s April 10 FSD saga was never just about one missed date. It was about a company once again feeding the public a timeline it did not truly control, while the responsible Dutch authority communicated in far more cautious terms. That is the real problem: not delay itself, but the sloppy, hype-driven habit of turning expectations into apparent facts and leaving everyone else to deal with the confusion.
The Tesla FSD Paradox
Tesla may be close to a genuine breakthrough in supervised autonomous driving in Europe, and that deserves real recognition. Its vision-based system looks astonishingly capable in complex traffic. But that progress also makes Tesla’s everyday stupidity even funnier. When a car can seemingly understand cyclists, pedestrians and chaos, yet still fails at a blatantly obvious route, admiration quickly turns into disbelief.
