All Ubisoft games requires you to link to a Ubisoft account to play, even for single-player PS5 games that you bought through PSN (and hence already have a PSN account they can link to). That's right, you cannot play offline single-player Ubisoft game you have already paid for without linking to a Ubisoft account.
How is what Sony doing now different or worse? Where is the outrage when Ubisoft did it?
After all the mandates and tricks Google pulled to get people to return to office, now suddenly it is no longer important to work together in the same office, huh?
Anyone still doubts that all those RTO mandates were just to get people to quit themselves?
Huawei finds itself at the top of the list with a 44.1% market share. Honor came in second with 26.7%, Vivo third with 12.6% and Oppo in fourth with 9%.
While the article did mention that Huawei is getting a large portion of market share, its purported "patriotic consumption" is just a bad attempt at trying to hide the real reason -- Huawei's new top end phones, Mate60 and Pura70, are great phones.
Some may recall the Mate60 and Mate X3 (also a foldable phone) released last year, did anything from Samsung can make satellite call yet? And then this month Huawei just released the Pura70. Is it any surprised that other high end phone makers will lose market share when one released a new flagship phone?
Did newspapers call it "patriotic consumption" when Americans queued up to buy new iPhones or new Tesla? Just call a spade a spade, Huawei's new top end phones dominated the China market because Samsung's current offerings are not good enough to compete head on.
There is a reason that the USA nonprofit RISC-V Foundation stood down and transferred all IP to the newer Switzerland incorporated RISC-V International.
If you think a Switzerland company can withstand the threat of sanctions from the US, you need to take a look at what happened to Swiss banks a few years ago.
It won't be that difficult to force all western companies to stop talking to any Chinese companies regarding RISC-V, how much that could accomplish is questionable though.
With the history of various US rail projects delaying and abandoned, I think we can wait until this one actually completes to get excited about.
By the time this one completes (if it does), the term "high-speed rail" elsewhere in the world could already have been redefined to something above 200 mph (and hence excluding this one).
The handful of American characters in the trilogy like Frederick Tyler and Thomas Wade are particularly interesting, since they look so much like fun-house mirror distortions of Hollywood archetypes. I think it's a combination of the image we project to the world, and China's interpretation of that image. The result feels eerily familiar yet strange.
This is pretty much the same thing for basically ALL Chinese (or Japanese, or Korean, or any non-American/European) characters in American movies and novels. Now you get to feel what most of the rest of the world have known for a long time, the weird feeling of reading a distorted stereotype of people from your own culture.
This technology is not 100% accurate when working with a clear passport photo. How are they going to handle inevitable mistakes and false accusations?
Human memory aren't 100% either, guess how things work with human witnesses? And why can't that applies to camera footages?
If it passes it's because there are other methods of tracking you which aren't mentioned in the bill.
Exactly, this is just regulatory capture to make it difficult for new companies entering the field.
Almost anyone announcing a new website can get millions of VC money in the Dotcom era, this looks no different.
Get ready for the AI-bust coming in the next few years when most of these companies go bust.
Cars are too far outside of Apple's experience.
Yes, but their competitors are doing it. Believe it or not, limited self-driving cars is coming. E.g. full automatic parking, with you dropping off at the door and the car driving itself to a preset parking space, summoning it from parking to the door, etc. There is a video of a demo showing a prototype driving itself from the entryway of a multilevel carpark to a designated parking spot a few levels up, and on the way automatically avoiding people and other cars, even backing up to let opposing car to pass on a narrow spot. To fully take advantage of that, close collaboration between your phone and your car is inevitable.
In 5-10 years time, phones that cannot work well with cars will be left behind.
So the choice for Americans is between paid lobbyists and unpaid lobbyists?
How about no lobbyists at all and taking money out of politics? E.g. start by putting back a limit on how much money politicians can take?
who would still be using it? US investigating crypto transactions will kill crypto more effectively than any bans.
"We do not use user data," Kardwell stressed to us. "We never have, and we never will.
Did Vultr have poison pill clauses in the ToS, such as, Vultr losing all rights to user data if they were bought by another company, or management changes, or going bankrupt, etc? Otherwise, how could anyone keep such promise that a company would not do something in the future?
You think we're headed to a true sci-fi dystopia?
Who exactly is the ruling class in your scenario?
The filthy rich who now already owned the politicians, and in future, most of the robots.
That's the point of UBI. "Don't riot and you'll get subsistence level cash for nothing".
With robots carrying guns, the ruling class will save the UBI money for themselves and just have their robots shoot anyone daring to riot.
