Tango Gameworks taken over and "revived" by PUBG publisher Krafton, with plans to expand Hi-Fi Rush IP
  • They’re not known for big projects. Except Callisto Protocol which flopped so hard they will put their hands on whatever has more than 7 figures.

    I while I’m kind of happy for the people who can still have a jobs, I fully expect they become a shell from their former selves (cut jobs) and make freemium crap.

  • WhatsApp Reaches 100 Million Monthly Users in the United States
  • The Meta-owned messaging app is extremely popular in Europe owing to its cross-platform compatibility.

    There you have it. If iMessages was cross platform, people would use it, but it doesn't, so people will pivot for the second best thing.

    Also, Northamerica SMS roots are deep, deeper than Europe, Asia and Latinamerica. Disgusting or not, the people already made its choice: $1 a year was too much.

  • Daylight DC-1 tablet hands-on: an Android tablet with a new kind of screen
  • Gonna say what everyone haven’t: the display is great to read but that’s it. The hardware is mediocre at best, and SolOS is unimpressive. At $730 it’s DOA since the iPad Air M2 exists and you can watch streaming on that.

  • AMD Zen 5 Technical Deep Dive
  • This article gives some insight on what Zen 5 is all about on desktop and PC. Personally I’m intrigued about how RYZEN AI 300 will perform, and how the availability will be, especially on the Mini PC side.

  • Report shows that AAA games for iPhone and iPad aren’t exactly a hit with users
  • Let's see:

    • There is already Steam for Mac, which a great catalog and sales.
    • The only appeal of an App Store game is cross-platform... in Apple devices.
    • Consoles (with controls) are cheaper than any Apple product compatible with AAA games. (This includes the Steam Deck).
    • There are no platform-selling exclusives.
    • There is no exclusive hardware features.
    • Major most-played games are not available OOTB: PUBG, Roblox, Rocket League, Genshin Impact, Apex Legends, Call of Duty, CSGO2.

    Yeah, I get the sentiment: why. But Apple has to start with something, and if they want people to buy games they will need a bigger catalog, and for that they need to keep their porting tools easier to implement.

  • The Increasing Impatience Of The Speed Of The PCI-Express Roadmap
  • Well, the thing is that 3 years looks like "too long" but eventually the spec is held by the timeframe of having actual silicon. Even if it's not 1 year or 2, at least is not 5 or 7.

    That's probably the problem of standards. Everyone has to agree to a new spec, instead of a company offering double the PCI Express bandwidth and latency that, low and behold, only works on their hardware and will charge for royalties.

    3 years look like a lot, but it's cheaper than vendor lock-in, which everyone has afraid of since is in that moment your business is controlled by other business.

  • Communist Mayor Daniel Jadue arrested and given 120 days of preventative detention
  • This is what is called “formalization”, meaning, there are merits to detain and investigate him, plus they want to prevent he can escape while doing so. He is still non-guilty, until proven otherwise, but the public always see this as guilty.

    There is still a lot to dig to find if they had a million dollars in the first place at all. Someone approve that sell, and if they had it, someone took it and probably left the country for good.

    It feels very implausible Jadue didn’t know what was happening, but who knows if someone (or a couple of guys) decided to play cards below the table for that amount of money. Anything could have happened.

  • Rabbit Gaslit Me, So I Dug Deeper | Coffeezilla
  • I don’t think it’s a scam or a fraud (legally), but it’s really an undercooked assistant that is $170 too much.

    I think that CZ has something, but eventually we will have to wait and let it cook, to check how the company (and maybe the device) are entangled with cryptos.

  • The Vision Pro is a flop
  • Analysts said it would sell around 350,000 units, so that’s below expectations of what Apple expected by shipping 800,000 units.

    A flop would have been <100,000.

    Either way, I think that Apple expected this and they were preparing for an update on 2025 if things go really well, but it didn’t. Whatever units have in the oven, they will probably be used for a Vision Non-Pro.

    Even then, they will have it rough. Current VR headsets are cheap enough and good enough. It feels like the iPhone came 2 years after Android came to the market.
