I have seen at least one post online that claims Gamescom has told exhibitors not to report thefts to the police because it "makes Gamescom and the city look bad". If they don't want police reports, could there be something dodgy going on?

Does all this open source stuff include enough information to know how X decides which ads to show you?

There is a motorway junction where I am where its not possible to use the junction to cross the motorway on foot and you instead need to use a footbridge 500m to the south that you need to use instead. But Google Maps continues to suggest walking directions that involve the motorway junction instead of the footbridge.

And it seems there is no way to report problems like this to Google to get them to correct it and mark that bit of road as "pedestrians can't use this"

I want someone to turn the whole "president Jack Ryan" stuff into movies/TV. Although considering that it all starts with a Japanese kamikaze pilot crashing a fully loaded passenger jet into the US Capitol and killing most of the government in one fell swoop, its probably not something Hollywood is going to want to put on screen...

The Neuromancer TV show looks good although its hard to tell from that clip how well its going to follow the book.

What I am most interested in is how they depict cyberspace and whether it looks like the simple depiction described in the book or whether it looks more like The Matrix.

Here in Australia when I have gotten jobs in the past I had to show my government issued ID (I have one that has all the same ID verification as a drivers license but without the right to drive) and I had to give them my tax file number (the unique identifier tied to your data and details at the tax office and that the employer uses to handle income tax etc).

I imagine the UK has similar systems (some kind of ID held with the tax office or similar government departments and a drivers license system or similar) that employers could use to verify that you are who you claim to be.

It's hard to justify the tank printers for my use case, I print enough color that I need a color printer but I don't print enough to justify spending hundreds of dollars on a tank printer instead of just buying a cheaper normal inkjet and buying cartridges as needed.

I would never buy HP junk. My current printer is a Canon inkjet (I absolutely need color printing and color lasers are still too expensive) and the printer I buy to replace this one is going to be another Canon.

Its all about making sure that CNN ends up in the hands of a Trump ally who will turn it into a Fox News clone and destroy a major thorn in the side of Trump and the republicans. Anything else that might happen is secondary to that.

As someone who has spent a lot of time doom-scrolling on twitter, I can see where the EU is comming from on the addictiveness of social media.

Does this mean 3rd parties will be able to buy all the computer modules and things for the tractors and load the firmware packages onto them and then install them into the tractors and have everything work?

The difference is that an E-Scooter doesn't contain any of the data harvesting that you get in a car...

We have all the Chinese EVs in Australia and yet the Model Y was the best selling car (of any kind) in Australia for May of 2026.
I don't think Chinese EVs would kill Tesla.

I could absolutely see it hurting the EVs being put out by Detroit though...

Considering what AI (that is built with safeguards and/or restricted in its availability) is already capable of when it comes to finding exploits in software and other dangerous things, imagine what an AI specifically built as an offensive cyber-weapon could be capable of doing.

The companies that design the chips and contract overseas fabs to make them are very much American. The US can absolutely tell, say, NVIDIA that it has to do this with its chips regardless of where they ultimately get made.
