Twitter may be in big trouble when it comes to generating advertising revenue: GroupM, part of WPP, the world’s biggest ad company — and Twitter’s biggest spender — is reportedly telling its clients that buying ads on the platform is “high-risk,” according to Platformer and Digiday. That makes it the third advertising juggernaut telling massive corporations that they might want to take their money elsewhere, after IPG and Omnicom Media Group both recommended stopping advertisements on the platform.

GroupM works with companies like Google, L’Oréal, Bayer, Nestle, Unilever, Coke, and Mars. If you’ve ever seen that graphic about how a few brands make pretty much everything you buy at the grocery store, you’ll notice a lot of Venn diagrams overlap with GroupM’s list of clients.

GroupM is reportedly concerned about several specific things following Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter; in a document, it cites the large numbers of Twitter executives leaving or being fired (especially those in charge of safety, security, and compliance), the wave of high-profile impersonations by “verified” users, and also raises concerns about Twitter’s abilities to follow the Federal Trade Commission’s orders. If Twitter wants to lose its high-risk label, there’s several things GroupM reportedly wants to see, according to a document viewed by Digiday and a Slack message from Twitter’s agency partnerships lead seen by Platformer. The list includes:

GroupM didn’t immediately respond to The Verges‘s request for comment. Twitter no longer has a communications department to reach out to such requests. The

‘House of the Dragon’ Finale: What Page Did Alicent Send Rhaenyra?

House of the Dragon has been deft at calling back to earlier episodes — and the season 1 finale, episode 10, was no exception. It featured a certain faded page torn from a large book, a callback to the very first episode. It’s so significant it almost prevented the declaration of war between the greens, aka King Aegon’s supporters, and the blacks, aka Queen Rhaenyra’s clan.

But if you’ve watched the finale, you know things took a sour turn. Let’s discuss the significance of that torn page in the spoiler-packed section below.

Warning: Spoiler ahead.

What does the torrent page say?

Otto Hightower, aka the Hand of the King, produces the torn page at an opportune moment in the hopes of preventing war. In episode 10, he and a small delegation meet with Queen Rhaenyra at the Dragonstone Bridge. They present “generous terms” — possession of Dragonstone castle, Driftmark island, places of “high honor” at court — on behalf of King Aegon in exchange for peace and acknowledgment of Aegon’s kinghood.

This goes down horrifically — until Hightower unfolds his trump card: A torn page from an old, large book.

The old faded page bares a large picture of a woman in a crown standing over ocean waves and what look like red snakes. The old style writing reads: “Lashed together with ropes and cables, Nymeria’s fleet dispersed at the coming of the first storms, sweeping them across the sea, east, west, and south into corsair infested

How ButcherBox bootstrapped to $600M in revenue TechCrunch

Some of the best companies only come about because they found a problem worth solving.

For Mike Salguero, CEO and co-founder at ButcherBox, the problem and opportunity in the extraordinarily broken space of meat production and distribution simply could not be ignored. Armed with an idea for how to do things differently, the company ran a Kickstarter campaign back in 2015, which drew the attention of its first thousand customers. From there, the company has continued to grow.

At the recent Creative Technologist conference organized by venture capital fund Baukunst, Salguero shared that the company has seen $600 million worth of revenue without taking a penny of external investment and talked about some of the lessons he learned along the way.

A rocky start

ButcherBox isn’t Salguero’s first rodeo. His first company was CustomMade.com, which raised $30 million in venture capital from First Round Capital, Google and Atlas Ventures in a series of funding rounds.

But in spite of all the money it raised, the company wasn’t successful. “My experience was really bad. We lost everyone’s money, which I felt a lot of shame about,” Salguero recalls. “At the very end, I had diluted myself so much, I owned just 5.5% of the company. The business failed, and we ended up going bankrupt, losing everyone’s money.”

After that, Salguero decided to walk a very different path with his next company, which he started after being confronted with a very personal problem. His wife has a thyroid condition,

The $899 iPhone 14 Plus is either a big iPhone 14 or a scaled-back iPhone 14 Pro Max, depending on your perspective.

2 of 11 James Martin/CNET

The iPhone 14 Plus starts at $899 for a model with 128GB of storage. That’s $200 less than the iPhone 14 Pro Max and just $100 more than the regular iPhone 14.

But it’s $900, which still makes it out of reach for many people. And that’s disappointing, especially when you consider that the Android landscape is littered with large-screen rectangular slabs that can be bought at nearly any price.

The iPhone 14 Plus has a Lightning port but US models lack a physical SIM card tray.

The 14 Plus has all of the iPhone 14’s features — some of which you may never see or use — and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

That includes Crash Detection, which can notify emergency services when you’re in an automobile accident.

7 of 11 James Martin/CNET

The iPhone 14 Plus has the same internal redesign as the regular iPhone 14, which improves thermal management. The back-glass on the back is easier and more affordable to repair since it’s no longer attached to internals.

Starting in November, you’ll get Emergency SOS via Satellite that lets you message emergency services via a satellite link. You also

Foxconn’s CEO hopes to one day make Tesla’s cars

Foxconn’s chairman and CEO Liu Young-way hopes to one day be in a position to produce electric cars for Tesla as the iPhone assembler expands into transportation. Liu made the comments at the unveiling of two new Foxconn electric car prototypes — the Model B crossover and Model V pickup truck — which the contract manufacturer hopes will serve as reference designs for companies who want to outsource manufacturing of their own EVs.

“Foxconn is not in the business of selling its own EV brand,” Liu said at its annual tech day, in comments reported by the Financial Times. “I hope one day we can do Tesla cars for Tesla,” he added.

The company has ambitious targets for its fledgling EV business. “Based on our past records for the PC and cellphone markets … we’re at about 40-45% of the overall market share,” the CEO said in comments reported by Reuters. “So, ambitions-wise, hopefully we are able to achieve the same kind of achievement like in the ICT (information and communications technology) industry, but we will start small, which is about 5% in 2025.”

The announcement of the two designs come a year after Foxconn showed off three prototype electric vehicles — a Model C SUV, a Model E sedan, and a Model T bus. Taiwanese automaker Yulon plans to sell the Model C next year, when it will be branded as the Luxgen N7, The Associated Press reports. Reuters notes that electric buses produced by the
