    Does anyone know what's going on with this game? I downloaded it from Itch.io but computer flagged it as a Trojan.

    Peter Molyneux is back with yet another new take on the “god game”

    I think the only thing I'd want from him is a nice collection of old Bullfrog / Lionhead games.

    OpenAI shows off Sora AI video generator to Hollywood execs

    If I was an executive at one of these film companies I would be shitting myself. If this stuff ever actually works. You're going to decrease the cost of making a big CGI heavy film from millions of dollars to potentially just thousands or even hundreds of dollars. Also the time to develop and...

    Netflix will stream WWE Raw in $5 billion deal

    I don't think this is a great idea for Netflix. Amazon got the rights for a load of Premier League and Tennis stuff in the UK and they've dropped it as I don't think it brought it massive audiences. I actually quite like Wrestling not enough to regularly watch it but it's stupid fun but I...

    I may being stupid but wouldn't whoever bought the debt potentially end up owning Twitter?

    Job losses likely at VW as the people’s car brand becomes uncompetitive

    One year after being bought for $44 billion, X is worth $19 billion

    You could buy share in Space X at $85 each at one point. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/spacex-fundraising-talks-150-bln-valuation-bloomberg-news-2022-11-15/ Actually reading that I'm not sure it's been that available.

    Musk says Twitter value is down to $20 billion, calls firm an “inverse startup”

    Honestly, I wouldn't have gone in with you on that deal before Musk bought Twitter.

    UK lawmakers vote to jail tech execs who fail to protect kids online

    It's bollocks, the bill was introduced after six years of consultations and cross party support in Scotland. Labour the Greens and SNP all backed it. The UK government were set to bring in similar legislation under May but that's fallen by the way side. Hopefully in a couple of years Labour...

    No porn without ID: Louisiana law forces porn sites to verify users’ ages

    I find it quite funny as a Brit that loads of Americans I've met have used the proposed porn block in the UK as proof of how draconian the UK is and how it could never happen in the US could never do it because of the 1st amendment would stop it, but here we are.

    US hospitals are so overloaded that one ER called 911 on itself

    Being from the UK and having worked for the NHS it seems odd that would be necessary. We used to have a phone specifically talk to other hospitals in the area about bed availability and the ambulance service. So when stuff got jammed up we'd have a way to try and keep stuff from totally...

    John Carmack sounds a skeptical note over Meta’s metaverse plans

    I'm sceptical of the whole concept. The problem is that it takes too much hassle in using it. It's the same with 3d TV, at first people love the novelty but it didn't actually add enough value to keep getting the glasses out each time to use it. I work with a bunch of people who own VR setups...

    North Korean hackers unleashed Chrome 0-day exploit on hundreds of US targets

    The problem is that with a job offer no software patches are going to help you. You reply to the email and can be pumped for information. You've got to be really careful.

    North Korean hackers unleashed Chrome 0-day exploit on hundreds of US targets

    Strangely I recently got a job with one of the companies mentioned in this article. I was very worried about this kind of con job. Thankfully they are paying me so even if it's North Korea I should at least be able to support myself. Quite glad I hadn't read this article as I probably would...

    Spotify support buckles under complaints from angry Neil Young fans

    I decided to cancel. Probably going to go with YouTube music but I feel like all the music streaming services are owned by shitty people.

    I'm pretty sure Google was one of the top search queries on Google as well.
