@tomwarren I just disabled wifi on my TV when Gamenexus exposed this. Haven't had a problem since. My TV doesn't need a web connection, just need my consoles and PC to connect to it, nothing more
PlayStation Network is down again for millions of users, and people can’t play their license-purchased games.
Players around the world are reporting they can’t sign in, play online, access the PlayStation Store, or use other PSN features.
This is the future PlayStation is pushing: once servers are down or have problems, all your games will be useless.
"Hello Im Alanah Pearce. let me state the obvious days later after the announcement and change nothing."
She has contributed NOTHING to the gaming industry
She is a taker not a giver like most of SONY is.
Did we ask for her stupid cook book in God of War? No
Did we ask for Foid Of War? No
She plants herself as a voice actress in multiple games and guess what: not everyone is good at voice acting. You just sound like Alanah!
@ChumBucketDrama The guy that doctored evidence to fit his narrative and then later got proven wrong is going to now leak new evidence? Yeah I'm going to go ahead and not believe that shit.
honestly, fuck LG for adding these notifications at startup on their TVs. I had every option for promotions disabled in the system settings, but they added new ones through the built in apps. I’ll never ever own anything LG ever again.
‼️ UPDATE: LG Electronics says it will suspend smart TV apps that secretly turn hundreds of millions of TVs into residential proxy nodes, after researchers found the proxy SDKs in more than 42% of apps in LG's webOS store and over a quarter of Samsung's Tizen apps, routing unknown third parties' internet traffic through users' home connections.
Residential proxy firms pay developers to bundle these SDKs, then rent the resulting home IP addresses to customers who often use them for large-scale scraping aka stealing your shit (also for AI training).
Proxy nodes are being embedded at scale in hardware people don't treat as computers and can't easily inspect, and LG's cleanup does nothing for Samsung's Tizen store, where the same problem is present.
Update: We are working on a follow-up to the LG story and have some disturbing findings re: LG's products. It will take us a while to parse everything and we have involved multiple security researchers, lawyers (working on reading around 40,000 words of LG agreements that are, generally, terrifying in scope), and network experts, but will have an update for you all as soon as we can finalize collecting all of the information and parsing. There is a lot for us to crawl through (and I'm also already up to thousands of dollars in LG product purchases, but each one peels back another layer of the enshittified onion). This will be a fairly large research piece and will take time, but is also the worst I've seen so far in this 'genre' of product and agreements.
@Pirat_Nation If it comes from Alanah then we need to verify the info. She's a driving force behind all the woke shit that came out from Sony in the recent years
She also manufactured lies about the Wukong devs during the game awards
Pathological liar and woke ally, worst combination ever
Nintendo has lost another round in its ongoing patent battle with Palworld developer Pocketpair.
A key disagreement was Nintendo’s claim that a 2013 Pokémon fan game should not have been used as prior art because it allegedly infringed Pokémon’s copyright.
The JPO was not convinced. It called Nintendo’s interpretation “a completely unreasonable misunderstanding,” adding that “The mere possibility that the reasons for rejection could be subject to such an unreasonable misunderstanding has no bearing on the assessment of inventive step.”
The examiner also rejected Nintendo’s complaints about references to characters like Ash, Pikachu, and Poké Balls.
The notice said that even if those names were replaced with descriptions like “an object in the form of a boy wearing a red cap” or “a spherical object with a red upper half and a white lower half,” “the logical structure of the grounds for refusal remains unchanged.
Therefore, this argument has no bearing on determining inventive step.”

@Tectone What the hell @Tectone ?! It's 100% of them! Stop giving the benefit of the doubt to that 0.1% of these loonies. They all belong in an asylum or in jail.
