Yes, 100%. If they wanted the policial platforms and had offered to buy them from Warner as standalone for a tenth of the cost Warner would have snapped their hand off. They need the IP for scale. That is what this is about.

You won't pass Google Play hardware attestation that way, and you won't find a bank in Europe or the UK that doesn't require that to log on to their website within five years.

The DSA European digital wallet spec currently requires Google or Apple attestation, so not for much longer. And that is mandated by the EU.

Given the Times and the Guardian are British they will be archived by the British Library, as it's a legal obligation. That doesn't mean anything American library that doesn't pay authors Public Lending Right fees gets to.

Just fucking revert the UI at this point. It's a disaster on macOS.

I'll believe it when I see it. Windows many problems are the results of five years of terrible strategy and not caring about if users actually like your platform. It will require sustained effort over a long period to fix.

The EU Digital Identity Wallet isn't zero knowledge. I mean it's just not. It relies on Google Play Integrity Attestation on Android and the iOS equivalent on Apple devices because those give it a revocation mechanism, and those a

There is no such thing in practice. Anything with zero knowledge is never going to be considered robust enough by a government. Zero knowledge protocols really have no functional revocation mechanism.

I mean the main reason it exists is because. Nvidia spent a bunch of money designing and fabbing the Tegra for automotive use and nobody bought it so the project was desperate to find a customer rather than out of the goodness of their hear

Unless Valve are going to do some work to enable that and support a hardware backed chain of trust for drivers that's not going to happen. (I think it should happen but that's not the same as that it will.)

I did say that in the second half of the sentence. But it still isn't an example of someone shipping an open source DRM module - it's just software to crack DRM with a leaked key. (Incidentally and this is not legal advice, but if

It's symbolism unless planting a stooge to lower interest rates below any economic justification in April causes a significant slide on the dollar's value. In which case its a great investment move.

Wow, there'll be entire categories of product that it will be worth buying from Amazon again.

They have a business presence in the US, and sent it there.

It isn't, it's just an open source library to talk to the closed source Widevine plugin included with Chrome, or, in this case with keys illicitly obtained from a broken Google plugin that they haven't revoked yet. There were

No they aren't. This is an internet myth pushed by certain sci-fi writers doing incompetent research. Disney were certainly in favour of the US's most recent copyright extension, but the main driver of it was the need for the US t

Really great article. I also think there's still an enormous ignorance from passkey devs that lots of people want to occasionally log into personal services from locked down corporate machines, and the flow to deal this is at best terr

Honestly Warner would have been fine if they hadn't been saddled with the debt that AT&T used to buy them. It wasn't an issue of Warner's business performance.

Which is why it won't happen, what would the revenue benefit of that be? In the medium term you'll get a D+/Hulu-esque split with maybe a discounted bundle of Netflix and HBO Max together - the evidence is pretty strong that

The HBO Max that had "Fboy Island" yeah? HBO was never what you thought it was, and HBO Max definitely wasn't.

No, that was going to happen next year, but it never did and this deal has been agreed for the whole company. WB pitched that to make it easier for them to be acquired by shunting all the debt to the channels entity - but it was unlikely th

I think it's extremely unlikely that they combine the two services in the next five to ten years. They will probably do a Disney+/Hulu bundle at some point.
