The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is around 5.98% to 5.99% this week, Freddie Mac said Thursday. The percentage is down sharply from 6.8% to 6.9% a year ago and from peaks near 8% in late 2023, per The Wall Street Journal. On a typical loan, that rate drop can cut monthly payments by hundreds of dollars for home buyers.
There’s not much to love about big tech these days. So many ills can be laid at its door: social media harms, misinformation, polarisation, mining and misuse of personal data, environmental negligence, tax avoidance, the list goes on. Added to which, Silicon Valley’s leaders seem all too keen to cosy up to the Trump administration, to shower the president with bribes – sorry, gifts – and remain silent about his worsening political overreach. And that’s before we get to the rampant “enshittification”, as the tech writer Cory Doctorow describes it, which means that by design many big tech products have become less useful and more extractive than they were when we originally signed up to them.
