After you pay for the music rights for a subscription video service the cost base is identical. As you could use YouTube as a music streaming replacement service (and literally millions of people do) then the labels charge for the same lice

My understanding is that this wasn't particularly the issue, the main problem for PC use is that you'd need a VirtualLink adaptor, and that will hold back people doing much work on this.

Sadly it's not that important, as the Labour Party position is this shitshow of a bill should be even worse.

The problem is - a) the British state has a very, very long track record of lying about domestic nuclear, so the public finds any safety claims hard to take seriously. b) the main issue with nuclear power in the UK is economic - the public

There aren't really any mainstream DRM systems that use a general computing platform TPM, precisely because they have a terrible track record of being breached.

The Reddit API team are so absolutely awful at communication or thinking about the consequences of their actions. The next ninety days are going to be a catastrophe.

The UK and most of Western Europe are doing the same thing. Russia and China are no fans of the free internet.

Better than banning them is.

And the UK would fine them in excess of any profit generated, and there is the potential for senior MS executives to go to prison, and even possible extradition. There is absolutely no prospect of Microsoft deciding to try and do that. Nil.

They can block the companies from trading in that country ultimately if the merger happens. Could Microsoft Activision in theory pull out of the entire UK market and still merge (not just gaming, stop selling Office in the UK for example)?

The damage the App Store causes is far, far wider than iOS users. The entire online ecosystem is shaped by app store censorship - we've seen again and again massive sites actively discrimate against kink, BDSM and queer communities bec

The last time they did that they managed to wreck it so badly in six weeks that it's userbase imploded. Reddit's management simply have awful UI instincts.

Given in the announcement thread they got wrong about it affecting third party apps at all and then on calls with third party devs do not seem quite sure if it will effect NSFW content or not, that does not seem to be the case. Indeed, it s

There's Bravia Core for Sony titles (on Sony TV sets). That's very high bit rate, not far off UHD Blu-ray.
