It seems Warner can't catch a break. Time Warner's financials were in dire straits in 2004 as well with a load of debt from the AOL merger. That time, they paid their debt by selling Dire Straits and the rest of Warner Music Group to Edgar Bronfman Jr.

It really works too. Robocop feels heavy and tank like

4k is a bit of a stretch for software decoding.

That's why it's 30%. As more devices support AV1, the number will rise.

The sane way to deal with it is to get Netanyahu to the The Hague for his war crimes trial, arrest the "Settler" terrorists, and dismantle the apartheid in Israel.

There were Jews living there, along side Arabs, long before Israel existed. Palestine used to be one of the nicer parts of that region. The way back to peace is for Israel to have a South Africa moment and a completely new government. Zionism has to be ended like apartheid was.

It's such a great movie, and predicted so much. Short news updates that trivialize important events, decades before Tik Tok, for example.

The costume is probably the best practical robot garb in cinema history. Believable, incredibly cool, moves really well (credit to Peter Weller there too)... It's perfection, and makes a great statue.

There are other obvious differences too. The US isn't currently committing genocide, hasn't murdered over 70,000 people and maimed or permanently injured many more in the last couple of years.

Ironically the accusation that criticism of this behaviour is antisemitic is itself antisemitic. Conflating the Jewish identity with Israel and its war crimes is the tool that Zionists use to silence critics, including other Jews. There is currently a big legal struggle in Israel over the conscription of ultra-orthodox Jews, who where there before Israel existed and who don't want to be sent to die or commit crimes on behalf of genocidal war criminals.

Why would a developer bother to optimize their game? That's actually a good question, given some of the recent releases.

I'm not sure there is any amount of money that I'd accept to engineer a product that involved looking at thousands of photos of unflushed toilets.

This "researcher" doesn't seem to know what end-to-end encryption is, or why what the manufacturer says is true. Their blog says that "[t]he term is generally used for applications that allow some kind of communication between users", but that's not true. The most common type of end-to-end encryption is HTTPS, typically between the user and a web server.

Also, they offer an AI powered service to analyse your output, and state that they use the data for further training. That is well within both expectations of what an AI powered service will be doing, and what their privacy policy says they will do.

I dislike how privacy is treated as a premium product, and how many companies feel entitled to our data, this case is nothing special at all.

They are probably hoping that developers start releasing ARM native versions once Steam Machine sales start to take off. This will be aimed at older games where the developer is unlikely to go back and rebuild for ARM, and performance isn't too critical.

Better headlines:

"Your next car just got shittier"

"White House vows to win war on your lungs"

You say "China" but this is a private Chinese company. "China", as in the Chinese government, does have its own space programme that, like NASA, works with commercial partners. They are looking to put people on the moon around 2030, and on track to do it, but this company is working on low cost to Earth orbit payloads.

Among widely available fonts under OFL, GNU GPL for Fonts, or other free licenses, not many of them cover the 2,100-odd Jouyou (regularly used) kanji and 1,000 name kanji that BadDreamer mentioned. It's a lot easier to make a font that covers 100-200 characters from two alphabets, such as Chilanka that covers the Latin and Malayalam scripts in a distinctive and dyslexia-friendly handwritten style, than one that covers 3,000 different kanji made of 600 radicals (as iggymanz mentioned) with manually-tuned slight variations to their shapes to make them fit next to each other in a character.

Exclusive use of kana (Japanese phonetic characters) was common in games for MSX, Famicom, and other 8-bit platforms. The one problem with that is the sheer number of homophones in both Chinese and Japanese, words spoken the same and written differently. Kana normally don't even distinguish which syllable a word is accented on, which would be like writing Chinese without its tones. Yet somehow Korean avoided this and switched from Chinese characters (Hanja) to a suitable phonetic alphabet (Hangul).
