Attached to: GTA 6's Physical Release Could Be Delayed To 2027 Because of Leaks
We all know that any physical release of a game as big as GTA6 is going to need a day-one patch anyway. So make it that the game wont play until it's been patched.
If disks leak early, they will be useless to anyone until release day anyway.

The moment you have anything that talks to a cellular network, its automatically a tracking device because the network knows exactly where you are (and almost certainly who you are as well)

Attached to: New Jersey Law Requires E-Bike Drivers To Have License, Insurance
Here in Australia there is a big distinction between "motor vehicles" and "e-bikes". An e-bike is not allowed to travel faster than a certain speed, the motor can't be more than a certain power and it must be pedal-assist (i.e. there can't be a way to constantly run the motor without pedaling).
Anything outside of that criteria is treated like a motorbike with all that entails (motorbike drivers license, vehicle registration etc).

Attached to: Setapp Mobile To Close in February as Alternative iOS App Store Economics Prove Untenable
I want to see a law passed (in a jurisdiction that Apple can't ignore or stop.doung business in) that requires Apple to allow true sideloading. That is, apps installed on the iPhone without any requirement for Apple to even know the app exists (let alone have any approval or veto over it) or collect any money from that app (regardless of whether the app charges up front fees, in-app purchases or whatever).

The problem with takedown notices or other legal processes is that the soccer matches will be over before you can even start the proceedings.

Does this include all the inputs to neural networks and other "AI" things that are being used to determine what you see in your feed?
If it doesn't include the inputs (or where the inputs are somehow derived from user-specific data associated with your account, show you how to actually get those same inputs from your account data) then it is useless.

You are on a site that's supposed to be "news for nerds" and you are asking why someone would want to buy such an iconic piece of computing hardware?

I still have a i5-9400F that does everything I need. Won't be replacing it anytime soon unless something breaks (the i5-9400F in fact was a purchase forced on me by a motherboard failure in January of 2020)

Attached to: A Decade of BBC Question Time Data Reveals Imbalance in Journalist Guests
Here in Australia the ABC (state broadcaster similar to the BBC) has a political.program called Insiders and there is a very clear bias towards conservative media outlets and the conservative side of politics (which in Australia means the Liberal and National party).

Attached to: 'No Happy Ending for Movie Theatres', Argues WSJ - No Matter Who Wins Warner Bros.
All 3 companies (Warner Bros, Paramount and Netflix) have subsidiaries in various EU countries and are most definitely subject to EU competition laws. Whether the EU blocks things outright, imposes conditions or allows it to sail right through is the question.

I saw many movies at the cinema in 2025 that I really enjoyed including Captain America, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, Mission Impossible, Jurassic World, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, Tron Ares, the Springsteen biopic and more. The only reason I haven't seen avatar yet is that I am on holidays and plan to see it back home at the cheap cinema.
And I am old enough to have grey hairs in my beard...

What happens to Warner Bros if regulators say no to both Netflix and Paramount? Would Warner Bros be able to survive?

Attached to: Cursor CEO Warns Vibe Coding Builds 'Shaky Foundations' That Eventually Crumble
I don't need AI coding tools to write code for me, I am perfectly capable of doing that myself. Plus there isn't an AI coding tool on the planet that can do the stuff I do with reverse engineering proprietary file formats, interacting with obscure dead game engines and working with proprietary secret code that no AI would have ever seen before.

Trump.is in bed with the fossil fuel industry (especially the coal industry) and wants to destroy the things that are killing fossil fuels. Oh and the fact that all these turbines are almost certainly comming from China gives him even more reason to hate it.
