A new law has been passed in California which prohibits the use of words like "buy" and "purchase" on digital storefronts like Steam.
  • Exactly. If you implement DRM that will make the software unusable if it can't phone home, you should be legally required to have a plan in place for when your servers shut down.

    MMO servers get a bit more complicated since they often rely on third-party components that aren't releasable.

  • Pro-Trump media firm abruptly folds after Russia scheme exposed
  • Babylon Bee promptly started posting 'satire' pieces about Clinton whining about Russian interference the moment the news dropped. The right's response appears to be to connect this to the prior cases, which they already got people to believe a false narrative about.

  • How can I get a screw like this out?
  • It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.

    I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.

  • Cisco slashes thousands of staff, 7% of entire workforce, pivots into AI
  • I can't stress how much Teams and Zoom have disrupted traditional voice and collaboration, which was a cash cow for Cisco.

    Yep. The company I work for stripped out all the Cisco desk phones last week. All the phone numbers just map to Teams now.

    Cheaper, less hardware to troubleshoot, and better suited to hybrid work.

  • EA CEO Says Video Game Actor Strikes Won't Have 'Short-Term Impact' on the Company - IGN
  • Video games have a very different production flow to film. The same people editing dialog recording are also doing other sound work. The people cleaning mocap also do hand animation. It's not like film where you hit a brick wall for 90% of your crew if your filming isn't on schedule.

    Things in the short term are done recording and aren't impacted. Things in the long term can move the resources to other tasks. If a strike goes for six months or a year, they will start seeing issues.

  • TIL because he Monty Hall Problem is often worded ambiguous, leaving some loopholes, it is better do not switch doors when you play the game with the actual real Monty Hall.
  • TLDR: The statistics only work if the host has to reveal a goat and offer to let you switch.

    In the show the question is based on, the host didn't always open an incorrect door after a guess. He didn't always allow them to switch. He also offered money instead of opening a door at all in some cases. He could use these tools to get the outcome he wanted most of the time.
