- Backup technology advances
- Data reduction techniques
- New AI models (faster, smaller, cheaper, open source)

**Politics/General:**
- What did Trump do today (executive orders, major moves)
- What's making noise / trending topics

**Netherlands:**
- Dutch news (usually quiet, but flag anything significant)
- Tax on unrealized profits (vermogensbelasting box 3) — this is a big deal
