Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Cyber Curtain Has Fallen”.
Please, sir, I want some more. [ Riley ], Some some more wait, some more! What Tech, news., [, Riley, ] Oh. In case you’re, still thinking that the actions being taken by governments and companies to punish Russia for invading Ukraine aren’t really that big of a deal. Let me tell ya.: We are now dealing with no less than a digital iron curtain separating Russia from the rest of the world..
In response to basically every Western global corporation halting the Russian operations. Russia has now completely blocked Facebook and they blocked Twitter. Some major news outlets they blocked major app stores and demanded that Google block ads that misinform.
The Russian public about the situation in Ukraine.. In response, Google just suspended all ads in Russia. [ Riley, ] Yeah.. They don’t need that Russia money.
Russia, also blocked the BBC’s website, so the network has begun broadcasting using that classic wartime technology. Shortwave radio., Hmm., FM baby.. It’S a brave thing to continue broadcasting at all. Given that Putin just signed a law that will punish journalists with up to 15 years in prison for publishing what the government calls a fake news., But at least the cyber curtain won’t extend to the foundations of the internet with ICANN, the association that maintains web domain Protocols refusing Ukraine’s request to cut Russia off from the rest of the internet.. If that happened, how would Putin ever see all of the great Hitler memes on Reddit [, Riley, ], They’re gon na be good.
Or those portraits those faces made of dicks [ Riley ], (, laughs )? I haven’t seen those. Yeah, you haven’t lived. [ Riley ] Wow., PC integrator Artesian Builds suffered from a scandal of its own making this week when they hosted a free PC giveaway for the company’s brand ambassadors, but then withheld the prize, because the company’s CEO decided live On stream that the ambassador that was chosen, Kiapiaa Kiapiaa, didn’t have enough, subscribers. Here is Noah belittling her social media., All followers combined still under 5k, even across multiple socials., I was trying to be generous. Mm, that’s a tough one.
And then here is Noah. Happily re-rolling. The giveaway winner. And there’s the re-roll.
This led to severe backlash from the streaming community, with some creators finding evidence that Artesian may be guilty of tax evasion and throttling its PCs due to inadequate cooling.. Those are equally transgressive. Transgressions.
Whoopsies. You can’t just change the rules. Mid-Contest.
Artesian tried to do damage, control and offered Kiapiaa a free PC, but she declined and JayzTwoCents went and built her a PC anyway’cause he’s a gentleman and a scholar. [ Riley ] Love that guy.. The lesson from all of this live streaming can be dangerous if you’re a butt hole. Speaking of holes, of the butt variety it appears. Nintendo is behind a wave of takedowns targeting YouTube videos that showcase the Steam Deck’s ability to emulate Switch and Wii games. Because, despite being a video game, company Nintendo kind of seems to hate, fun., [, Riley ], You can have fun, but only in this way..
Only in your childhood. [ Riley ] Hmm., It’s one thing to crack down on websites that host ROMs, those are Nintendo’s. Intellectual property and Nintendo does have a legal right to restrict their distribution, but running an emulator doesn’t infringe on Nintendo’s rights.
It just makes Nintendo look bad because emulators are the only accessible way to play. Many Nintendo games when the company removes them from sale. Piracy is bad.. Sorry, I just had to stick that in there [ Riley ] Just make sure for reasons. [ Riley ].
