PlayStation is ending production of physical game discs for all new games, starting January 2028.
From that date, new games will be available in digital formats only.
BBC Sport has a live World Cup knockout bracket updating after every match.
Some clever soul has made it so it automatically works out the 495 possible combinations of third-placed teams.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
Outside of the low literacy rates, something else that’s severely lacking is curiosity and inquisitiveness. Ppl are way too comfortable taking content at face value with no desire to research topics further. They barely read follow up tweets!
Wishing a very happy birthday to legendary Thelma Schoonmaker, editor of Martin Scorsese's films, and three-time Oscar-winner ('Raging Bull', 'The Aviator', 'The Departed'), who is 86 today.
One of the smartest horror marketing moves ever: The Ring (2002) aired fragments of the cursed videotape on late-night TV with zero context. No title, no explanation, just unsettling images between commercials.
