Big Tech Picks Up Data Center Bills? & Apple Intros Low-Cost Laptop

Oh, could this vintage store be any cuter? Right? And the best part, they accept Discover. Except Discover? In a little place like this? I don't think so, Jennifer. Oh, yeah Discover's accepted where I like to shop. Come on, baby. Get with the times. Right. So we shouldn't get the parachute pants? These are making a comeback. I think. Discover is accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards nationwide based on the February 2025 Nielsen report. Good morning, BRU Daily Show. I'm Neil Fratman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, America's new gilded age is in Wyoming. Then Apple just released its cheapest laptop ever. It's Thursday, March 5. Let's ride. I think we're all in need for a feel good story, and I think I found just the one. So each year in Paris, a competition is held, the Grand Prix de la Baguette des Tradition Francaise, to determine the best classical baguette in the French capital. The winner receives €4,000 and the opportunity to supply bread to the French president's residence for the next year, plus immense bragging rights. The blind tasting competition was held last weekend, and the victor was Sitham Paripilai Jagathipan, a 43 year old Sri Lankan immigrant who taught himself to bake in 2008. He is the second immigrant from Sri Lanka to win the competition in the last three years and joins other baguette makers from West Africa, Algeria, and Tunisia who've been crowned the best bread maker in Paris. Toby, I am submitting my candidacy as a judge for next year's Grand Prix. This is a serious operation. The judges grade the entries on five criteria, appearance, cooking, inner texture, smell, and taste. Aesthetics are huge when it comes to brand. You need the crunch of the outer shell to pair well with the soft inner pockets of air. It should look like a beehive. Very uniform air pocket distribution and each group of judges gets five baguettes at a time. So most of them say if you are a rookie to the judging aspect of this, you take too big of bites, you fill up too soon so you have to pace yourself throughout the, the afternoon. Also, as soon as the winner was announced, people went to Google to check out this, this bakery. And someone screenshotted the Google reviews of this place. 88 reviews, 3.8 stars. So maybe take it with a grain of salt or a grain of yeast whenever you're shopping around for a baguette to try in Paris. Alright. And now a word from our sponsor, Bland AI. Toby, I need some help.
