Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “It’s Finally Over.”.
This Tech news would sound a little better if it had been open a few hours ago, but uh. I think it still passes the smell test. Microsoft has finally completed their $ 69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard king after a year and a half of being grilled and harassed by the government to make sure they won’t set every Xbox to self-destruct, oh exhausting the biggest buyout in gaming. History went ahead right after the UK’s comp, ition and markets Authority approved an altered deal that will see Ubisoft holding the cloud gaming rights to current and future Activision Blizzard games outside of the European economic area, and if you think that sounds confusing yeah. Basically, if you purchase an Activision Blizzard game and you live in the EU, Iceland, lakstein or Norway you’ll have a license to stream that game from any cloud gaming streaming service of your choice, assuming they have the game on that service available to stream.
But if you live anywhere else, it’ll be up to Ubisoft to Grant licenses for Activision Blizzard games to cloud gaming Services, meaning Microsoft will have to license the games owned by the companies it now owns. If it wants those games to be streamable on Game, Pass ultimate outside of Europe, okay – and you might be saying Riley, can you shut up about cloud gaming? No one cares about that, to which I’d say. Everyone said the same about mobile games and now those make the most money in the gaming industry, but hey it was all worth it for Xbox to own Call of Duty and, more importantly, Crash Bandicoot. Meanwhile, the FTC says they’re still focused on stopping the deal and are preparing an argument to submit to an appeals court in December bit harder to stop something from happening after it’s already happened, but hey you know best of luck. We have to go back in time.
We have to go back. Marty Best Buy, will no longer sell movies in their physical form, starting in 2024, meaning you’ll have to buy your DVDs or 4K Blu-rays from the trunk of Ply’s car, just like in the good old days. The news was initially reported by the digital bits and later confirmed by Best, Buy, who told Variety in a statement that the way we watch movies and TV shows is much different today than it was decades ago to State the obvious uh.
Unless I’m mistaken, I’m not looping film reels over top of my television and using the light to try and see the pictures in there. Okay, we have computers now, of course, while the move is bad news for preservationists, it’s somewhat unsurprising. It’S been 5 years since Best Buy stopped selling music CDs and, according to Josh fairhurst CEO of limited run games.
There are Rumblings of Walmart dropping sales of physical games soon. However, while retailers are retreating from the physical world, Netflix is looking to enter it. Ceo Ted Sandos announced plans to open something called a Netflix house in two locations and I don’t know what that sounds like, except something I wouldn’t let my daughter visit.
The houses will have merch food and fan experiences, but, unlike Disneyland s says, you might visit a couple times a month, not just once every couple years you know like getting beers with the boys, but instead of wings. You order the demagorgon roast. I have no context for what this place is going to be I just what is it, and this CEO of risk 5 International, which oversees the open- source chip architecture, has written in opposition to the idea that the US should block China’s access to Technology based on Risk 5, because it’s an open- Source standard and uh, that’s not how they work. Last week, a group of us lawmakers petitioned the Biden Administration to cut China off from risk 5. An idea that I mean doesn’t seem particularly concerning to the Chinese members of risk 5. International, including Alibaba Cloud Huawei, ZTE and tensent, who haven’t commented one way or the other, the CEO of a leading Chinese risk 5 chip company, told the South China Morning Post that, since risk 5 is again an open standard, the us could only block exports from us Companies to China, but they wouldn’t be able to block China from building their own products with risk 5, which they have been doing already for quite a while. I don’t know. Maybe the US government should be worried less about China and more about the chair of risk. 5 International, who recently said he wanted every chip in the world to be risk 5, showing a slide titled.

It’S not clear yet how much the phone will cost, but OnePlus is offering $ 200 off for pre-orders and up to $ 11,000 in trade and credit.
So it’s definitely way more than that. Despite the air of mystery, the device is essentially a rebadged version of the find and3 from Oppo who’ve, already allowed YouTuber jagat review to post a Hands-On with a device where he Compares it to the Galaxy ZF 5. The open seems to have a wider inside and outside display, and a far more subtle hinge crease in the screen, like somebody airbrushed, a butt crack, leaving only a single shiny, mono, cheek, what a glorious image a judge has thrown out a 2022 decision that found Google Had infringed five of Sonos patents, because two out of five were filed in 2019, not 2006, as Sonos claimed bad billion doll company bad.
The original decision granted Sonos $ 32.5 million in Damages, but rather than pay licensing fees for the features Google pushed a software update that removed the group speaker features from devices that paying customers had already bought. Consumers are basically babies. They lack object, permanence huh, where’, it where’ it go. I guess it was never.
There Google of course celebrated the recent decision by immediately pushing another software update, restoring the features they had previously taken away, presumably causing users to clap their hands and drool inight. Like a game of peekaboo, there’s some features: it’s featur, it’s it’s back, nvidia’s Jensen hang has topped a recent most popular CEO survey. No doubt due to that sexy leather jacket can’t stay mad at him, based on a survey conducted by the professional social network blind over 96 % of the 13,000 verified in employees. There said they approved of Wong’s leadership numbers rarely seen outside of North Korea. Tim Apple, CEO of cook, also came in the top five with 83 %, while the average was only 32 %, with at least two CEOs landing at zero.
I don’t know exactly what’s going on at Western Digital and Nordstrom, but it’s not good. It involves lying. I think, speaking of CEOs Google’s current leader, Sundar pitchai, had a fairly reasonable take on the the issue of the search engine being set as the default in Safari back in 2007.
According to emails revealed during the ongoing USV Google trial peachi, who was part of the search team back then thought that Apple’s idea of offering two separate versions of safari one for Google and one for Yahoo was maybe not as good as just adding a drop down Menu allowing users to switch search engines, it’s nice to see a tech executive thinking about the end user experience, while coordinating massive payments to have their product presented as the default and after many Counterstrike two players were inexplicably banned valve, has warned anyone playing on AMD gpus To switch off team Red’s, antiag plus feature which arrived earlier this week in a driver update until valve, can fix the issue. The feature minimizes input lag, but it does so by injecting itself into the game’s code, making it look like unauthorized tampering is occurring and leading to a vac ban. You can hardly blame players for trying to make the game smoother, although, along with the lag issues, it’s also brought some Hidden Treasures. I mean teabagging has got nothing on tea twerking and I would certainly be reading a segue about twerking if Jacob was here but he’s off today. So I’ll simply tell you to please return on Monday for more Tech news, please thank you. .
