Apart from the mistake in article cod uses listen servers not P2P this on the money. Shame they didn't mention these are Xbox to pc to PS4 to PS5 ports but honestly it spot on the money. Also means classic bo2 is best selling CoD game by quite a margin.

Review: Black Ops 1+2 Are Lacklustre PS5 and PS4 Ports of Some of the Best Call of Duty Titles.

Great piece this. A big part of why I don’t think AI will lead to mass unemployment is some stuff will just have to switch back to meatspace in order to reach a timely conclusion, and in order to verify things. Fatima’s next job could be in “teller”.

Question on my mind right now is. Do we know if this works? Second question is how accurate? Bunch of safety concerns about this. My worry it fluff and meant to boost stock prices. Other worry we're heading down a path without proper knowledge how it works.

There's been a real failure on the part of progressive leaders this summer to link the weather and Net Zero in the public mind. Most people get it, but the consensus is crumbling and it would be useful to reinforce it.

I know he has a lot on, but in the midst of a ferocious drought, fires, heat events and severe threats to food production, it would be quite edifying to hear Andy Burnham mention climate breakdown.

Absolute joke for a Green Party to oppose solar panels. But very much in keeping with why the UK and whole of Europe are failing on energy policy. Other priorities... www.ft.com/content/6fe7...

Listening to my generation talk about the 90s the way the previous generation talked about the 70s is tiresome. No that wasnt 'back when movies were good' or 'music still meant something'. There's loads of great shit coming out now and there was loads of slop back then. You just miss being young.

One minute you're young & fun and the next you're falling asleep with your cat at 8pm.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...
