HP and Acer notebooks run slower than competitors because they ship packed with “bloatware” (trial apps, utilities, etc.)

Publisher’s rating: Missing Context

The review says that while preinstalled software can affect performance, it is common across PC manufacturers and is rarely the main reason for a slow laptop. It concludes that hardware choices such as CPU, RAM, and storage matter more, and reports finding no independent 2024 tests showing HP or Acer laptops run slower than competitors out of the box.

US President Donald Trump announced a "new era in American healthcare." At the heart of the announcement are so-called MedBeds – medical beds that are said to work wonders. The statement by the US President was published on September 29 (September 28 in the US, 22:19 EST) in a short video on his Truth Social platform, and it caused great confusion because the video was deleted shortly thereafter. Reactions on social media are divided—many are wondering why Trump is promoting MedBeds. MedBeds are part of a conspiracy myth that claims there are "magical" medical beds that can cure any disease, reverse aging, and even regrow lost limbs. The myth originates primarily from far-right online communities and is also spread by QAnon followers. A scientific study on the phenomenon was recently conducted by McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Following Trump's video, many users have shared alleged images and healing effects, as well as conspiracy theories surrounding MedBeds. DW Fact Check took a closer look at the video of Donald Trump and also the MedBed myth.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: Fake The video was created using artificial intelligence (AI). Upon closer inspection, there are indications of this (see image below). In the first few seconds of the video, you can see that the mouth movements of the news anchor, Lara Trump, do not match the words she is saying. Then you see a hospital room equipped with so-called MedBeds. But as experts confirm, these MedBeds do not exist, so the images shown cannot be real. They also look very artificial. After that, you see Trump himself sitting in the Oval Office in the video, explaining that soon every American would receive a MedBed card. Here, too, some things do not match the current decor of Trump's office. Particularly striking is the size of the equestrian statue, a miniature copy of Clark Mills' equestrian statue, which appears behind Trump in the video. Its proportions do not appear to match the original footage of the Oval Office. In addition, at 26 seconds, the fingers on the doctor's right hand are partially fused together—a typical AI error. The folds of the right sleeve also don't fit —the arm would then be as thin as a broomstick. A second later in the video, the left sleeve of another person is oversized, puffed up, and crumpled.
