With just days left, the U.S. opening match at the World Cup is still not sold out
The cheapest seat costs USD$1120, when most of the world is in a cost of living crisis.

Codeberg bans vibe coded projects
A repo host that can remove your repo at any moment because someone can accuse your code of being “vibe coded” is not a repo host I’d trust. It shouldn’t matter how good, bad, or A.I. written your code is. It’s a hosting platform.

Netflix hits upon revolutionary new concept: Live TV channels
Believe it or not, a LOT of people really want this. It’s a lot to do with “choice paralysis”. They can’t choose what to watch, but they want to watch something. I’ve gotta admit I’d like to just be able to go to a sci-fi channel and watch something random.

Lenovo Warns PC RAM Prices Will "Never" Go Back to Normal
I have a work issued Lenovo Thinkpad P14S Gen6 AMD with a Ryzen 9 AI, 2TB nvme, and 64GB of GDDR5 RAM. It cost $2600 last October.
Went to buy more of them for other devs last week as their Dells are just hot garbage and are being refunded, who wants to guess what the price of the exact same machine though Lenovo directly again is now?
$6800.
Absolutely insane.

The gaming industry is truly messed up…
Financially BF6 was a smash hit.
Within a month of release it was a disaster. Player base plummeted because of the bait and switch they pulled, the bugs, and the lacklustre season passes, skins, and roadmap. One of the all time fumbles.

Drug May Repair DNA at Earliest Stages of Alzheimer’s – And it’s Already Passed Safety Trials
Reply in thread
If you’ve ever had someone close to you develop alzheimers, especially family where it was then more likely that you would develop it, you would have no problem paying for drugs to prevent it for life. It’s probably the cruelest thing that can happen to a person in life.

Tech bros having their production environments nuked by AI is never gonna get old
Anyone giving “AI” access to production databases through tools like that are morons who shouldn’t be anywhere near a production environment.

I think you’ve missed the point of framework laptops.

New York sculptor spent $100,000 to make a Charlie Kirk statue no one wants to buy
he spent $100,000 on steel, resin and labor
So the real cost was probably a few grand in materials, at most, and he’s no doubt saying his time is worth $1000/hour or more.
It was a grift all along, especially wanting to display it in a place that just elected a “democratic socialist” mayor, one of the biggest Democrat strongholds.

Google kills Tenor GIF API, forcing changes at X, Discord, and more
The real problem was probably that Tenor was free, and Google didn’t see a way it could make money from a GIF API.
The author can’t figure out how a company can monetise an API? Monetisation clearly isn’t the problem here. It’s possible that they’re going to launch a new product incorporating this, or more likely incorporate it into Gemini.

Sega doesn’t make physical media though……
Sony are stopping all PlayStation disc production. Sega can’t just make PlayStation discs.

Sony Abandons Social Media for 24 Hours+ After Controversially Killing Physical Games
Reply in thread
Yeh they’re expecting the upcoming Microsoft/xbox layoff-ocalypse to dominate the news and make their news yesterday’s story. I’d bet they were expecting the layoffs to be announced yesterday on the Friday.
Also there’s nothing they can say that hasn’t been said already that will make people who are angry change their minds, so there’s literally no point. It’s a vocal minority and the best thing for them to do is ignore it.

This month's Windows 11 update broke the Recycle Bin, OneDrive, and possibly your PC's stability
Clickbait and misleading. Nothing “broke”. The recycling bin works just fine, the name of the file in the confirm delete popup is just displayed wrong.

Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"
Reply in thread
I’ve been downvoted en masse for saying that physical media doesn’t last forever, and that many of my PS1/2/3 physical copies no longer work due to labels peeling off and disc rot. It doesn’t happen apparently.
Physical media isn’t what people should want - it’s emulation. Physical media only works as long as there’s original hardware to play it on, and it’s getting harder and harder to get working original hardware.
I don’t care about playing the game on original hardware, I care about being able to play it on readily and easily available hardware.
