Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU‑native Just because you're paranoid about digital sovereignty doesn't mean they're not after you OpinionΒ  I'm an eighth-generation American, and let me tell you, I wouldn't trust my data, secrets, or services to a US company these days for love or money. Under our current government, we're simply not trustworthy.…

I regret to inform you the head of Instagram quietly announced last month that videos on the platform he runs can no longer be trusted to be real and it is only a matter of time before that becomes the immediate authoritarian response to any atrocity www.theverge.com/news/852124/...

Knowing that Microsoft gutted the Playground Studios by firing so many employees and seeing what happened to Forza Motorsport I have lost faith. The Playground now is not the Playground from the last 10+ years anymore. I love Horizon and Motorsport and played them all but these games are years away.

Nintendo Store wishlist showing first first party titles not discounted during a sale

Nintendo Store wishlist showing first first party titles not discounted during a sale

It's a disgrace what Nintendo comes away with every single time! Sales are on and only 1 first party title is on sale (25% off😐). No other big Nintendo title has been discounted. If Sony or Xbox would do this ppl would riot. But not the blind Nintendo fan community 🀬😀

The Turbulent, Seven-Year Saga Behind Hit Game β€˜Dispatch’ The narrative, superhero game starring Aaron Paul of β€˜Breaking Bad’ sold 1 million copies in the 10 days following its Oct. 22 release

NEW: the new game Dispatch is a huge hit (1 million copies!). But few people know how close it came to never existing.

Here's the wild story, from a canceled Splinter Cell game (scoop!) to a Telltale divorce to the founders not taking paychecks for six months: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Xbox deserves a lot of recent criticism but one thing I will celebrate is giving Ninja Theory, Compulsion Games and Double Fine the creative freedom to make Hellblade 2, South of Midnight and Keeper

I want more of these expressions of art and storytelling

Addon communications and chat access
The ability to send addon messages and read chat is currently restricted entirely while inside an instance. This has been relaxed to only apply when any of the following are true:
A mythic keystone run has started and not yet completed.
A PvP match has started and not yet completed.
An instance encounter is in progress.
Cooldown access
Cooldown access is currently always secret. This has been relaxed to only return secrets when any of the following is true:
A mythic keystone run has started and not yet completed.
A PvP match has started and not yet completed.
An instance encounter is in progress.
The player is in combat
Aura access
Aura access is currently secret while in combat. This has been slightly tightened to share the same updated restrictions as cooldowns.
Additionally, aura APIs that return a single aura from a spell ID or name have been restricted and are no longer callable while aura access is secret.
Unit resource access
New UnitHealthPercent, UnitHealthMissing, UnitPowerPercent & UnitPowerMissing APIs have been added (returning secret values). 
String formatting
Tainted code will now be allowed to call the following functions with secrets (resulting in secret strings):
string.format
string.concat
string.join
Additionally, the Lua concatenation operator has been relaxed and will allow tainted code to concatenate numbers and strings.

GetRestrictedActionStatus
A new global GetRestrictedActionStatus API has been added to query whether or not a restriction "type" (eg. secret cooldowns) is actively being enforced.
Tooltips
Resolved an issue where tooltips could fail to display if the previously shown tooltip was set up by tainted code.
Coming soon (Alpha 4 and beyond)
--------------------------------
Secret structured tables
APIs that return structured tables as secrets will no longer make the entire table secret - just the values inside.
This doesn't apply to events or APIs that return vectors of data (specific cases where this is problematic are being evaluated).
String formatting
Various numeric formatting APIs - including AbbreviateNumbers - will be made callable with secrets by tainted code (returned strings will inherit secret state)
Unit identity access
Access to creature unit names, GUIDs, and IDs will be made secret while in an instance and no longer be based off combat state.
Unit resource access
APIs will be added to allow addons to adjust the color of unit frame health bars based on health percentage

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.
