Please PM me your disapproval. Enough of those and I will cease to perform these summaries. My goal is to be helpful not annoyance.

My abstract for the linked article

Google is discontinuing Jamboard, its $5,000 digital whiteboard product, in late 2024. Jamboard was a large touchscreen that integrated with Google Workspace apps, allowing collaborative work. However, Google found that Jamboard users were a small portion of its Workspace customers. It will shut down the Jamboard apps and hardware, leaving existing customers with useless devices. Google recommends migrating Jamboard data to competitors' whiteboard apps like Figma and Miro. While Jamboard was expensive initially, its annual fees and integration with Workspace subscriptions resulted in total costs as high as $7,000 per year.

The high recurring costs were not enough to sustain Jamboard long-term.

TL;DR for the linked article

An independent review found that NASA's Mars Sample Return mission plans are unrealistic and need significant changes. NASA hoped to launch the first elements in 2028 for $4.4 billion, but the review estimates a 2030 start at the earliest for $8-11 billion. The report states that the mission was established with unreasonable budget and schedule expectations and an unwieldy organization. It echoes earlier concerns raised by Ars Technica and some NASA scientists that the growing costs could take away from other science missions. Under the current plan, the Perseverance rover will collect samples and deliver them to a lander, which will then launch them into Martian orbit for pickup and return to Earth around 2033.

Notably, the review suggested a single helicopter may suffice for backup sample retrieval instead of the proposed two.

NASA's Perseverance rover has been collecting valuable rock samples from Mars' Jezero Crater to search for signs of ancient life. An independent report found that NASA's plan to return these samples to Earth by the late 2020s at a cost of $4 billion is unworkable, and will actually cost between $8-11 billion. While returning the first samples from Mars is scientifically important, the project's budget has increased as engineers have refined complex mission designs. There are also competing priorities for funding within NASA's $3.2 billion planetary science budget. The report recommends delaying launches originally planned for 2027-2028, and developing an alternative strategy. If launched by 2030, the revised mission could still cost $8-9.6 billion.

NASA will now reassess plans to determine how to accomplish the strategically and scientifically important goal of returning the first Martian rocks to Earth for detailed study.

In case you're in a hurry here's the jist of the linked article

The article criticizes the media for its ongoing coverage of Donald Trump despite his criminal indictments and anti-democratic behavior. It argues the press ignores Trump's calls for violence and fails to consistently mention his fraud charges and impeachments. While Biden made progress with labor unions, the media focused more on an outlier poll favoring Trump. The author claims both political parties and the press lack courage and fail to hold Trump fully accountable for his lies and attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Unless the facts about Trump's legal troubles and history of falsehoods are prominently addressed in all reporting, the media is not doing its job of informing the public, the article contends.

Here's the best summary I could make of the linked article

The Pokemon Company collaborated with the Van Gogh Museum to produce merchandise celebrating 50 years of the museum. This included a Pikachu promo card given to those who bought items. Many scalpers swarmed the museum on the first day hoping to obtain the rare card. Videos showed crowds rushing to get the promo. Those unable to visit can buy items online from the Pokemon Center to receive the card. Pokemon has previously partnered with museums, like giving cards depicting characters in Munch's art style at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. These rare promo cards from museums are very valuable to collectors. For example, a Pikachu card from a one week event in Japan is now worth around $670.

The rush for the Van Gogh promo card could be because of the high resale value of exclusive past museum promos.

Star Citizen is an ambitious space simulation game that has been in development for over a decade but has yet to release. It has raised over $600 million from crowdfunding yet faces significant delays. Possible reasons for the prolonged development include an initially small team, engine troubles, and an ever-expanding scope. The game now faces high expectations that will be difficult to meet given the lengthy development. While the alpha shows potential for an impressive space adventure, the project has attracted controversies around its lengthy delays and lack of a release date.

If Star Citizen is able to overcome its development challenges, it aims to deliver an unprecedentedly vast and seamless space simulation experience.

In a speech in Arizona, President Biden will argue that American democracy remains at risk from Trump's MAGA extremists. While most Republicans do not support the extreme ideology, the party is driven by those who continue spreading lies about the 2020 election. Biden aims to unite voters across party lines in defense of democratic norms and institutions. The speech location was chosen for its connection to John McCain, who fought authoritarianism globally. Recent elections saw candidates denying Biden's win lose key statewide races in Arizona. Republican officials acknowledge such rhetoric damaged their candidates' performances. Protecting democracy particularly resonated with Latino and veteran voters in Arizona due to concerns over foreign corruption and the January 6th attack.

Additionally, Biden will announce federal funding for the future McCain Library, honoring the late senator's bipartisan legacy.
