Plenty of games used things like GameSpy where the online component is handling matchmaking and even though he actual game is peer-to-peer or one of the players is the server or something, they still won't work because the matchmaking servers are gone.

Given the date its hard to know if this is real or fake...

I saw it and loved it. Definitely worth seeing in the big screen IMO.

You can't buy your way to a 5 Star ANCAP safety rating. They actually crash test the vehicles (or in some instances, accept verified validated crash test footage/results/etc for the same model car from EuroNCAP or similar)

Many chinese cars (at least the ones they are selling in western countries) score very high on safety ratings.

Oh and these cars almost all get 5 star ANCAP safety ratings (the highest possible) so they are just as safe as anything from Japan or elsewhere.

Are there Chinese cars that are junk? Yes. But there are a number of Chinese brands (BYD and MG for example) that are actually making decent cars (EV and otherwise) now. No they aren't as good as a Toyota but they are better/more reliable/etc than many things sold here in Australia by western auto companies...

I have family that bought an MG EV and they LOVE it.

We have had digital price labels in some supermarkets here in Australia for a while now and we do not have dynamic pricing or other issues. To be fair we have strong consumer laws and a regulator with teeth enforcing the laws.

Google should not be allowed to put messages on its websites saying "switch to Chrome instead" when you access them with a competing browser.

Apple should not be allowed to deny approval for your app store app because it competes too closely with something apple sells.

Amazon should not be able to artificially push people towards its own products (Amazon Basics etc) over other products.

TSMC has had all kinds of problems getting it's US fab going (and that doesn't even do the entire process of making a finished chip) and Intel with its decades of experience in chipmaking has had many problems with its newest stuff.

It would be great to see Musk build his own chips but it's not as simple as buying a bunch of stuff from the ASML catalog...

Cloudflare may be big but there is no way they will be able to overcome the power and influence of the Italian soccer league and the powerful entities that paid the big bucks for the rights to air the games.

For a traditional bookmaker, you win if the thing you bet on happens and the bookie wins if it doesn't happen.

But for these prediction markets, the other side of the bet is some other punter, not the house. The prediction markets should in theory not care which outcome occurs since they should make the same money either way.

There are no "computer problems", the system was never built with the ability to process tariff refunds in the first place (or so claims someone on Twitter who claims to have been involved with building it).
So in order to process the refunds that have been ordered by the court, they need to write a totally new feature into the system that was never intended and that no-one is paying to have written (because obviously the government isn't going to pay for something that is only required because they lost in court)

You are never going to get enough people interested (signing petitions, writing their elected representatives, protesting in the streets, whatever) to overcome lobbying, campaign contributions (i.e. bribes) and other pressure and convince the current US federal administration to say no to mergers like this.

But do apps that care a lot about security (e.g. streaming media/content apps that rely on DRM or banking apps) run properly in this sandbox environment?
