@aduebd Love this concept. Maybe a single player version sometime?

Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline

On the same day Sony told a billion gamers to embrace digital forever, it quietly showed them the catch.

Two announcements, one blog, an hour apart.

First: from January 2028, no new PlayStation game will ship on a disc, digital only.

Second, buried below: Sony is closing the online stores for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, so you will no longer be able to buy games there at all.

Read together, they are not two stories. They are the whole argument about what you actually own.

A disc is the last thing in your home a Silicon Valley company cannot reach. A PlayStation game from 1994 still works today, and the law lets you resell it, lend it, keep it forever.

That is ownership. It is protected by something called the first-sale doctrine, and it applies to physical objects. It does not apply to digital purchases. That is not Sony being cruel. That is the quiet legal truth underneath the whole shift.

Sony's own spokesperson said it plainly today. With all digital content, you are not buying the game. You are buying a personal license for non-commercial use. Not the thing. Permission to use the thing, which depends on the company's servers and goodwill. They once pulled a game called Concord two weeks after launch. Buyers got refunds, but the game itself simply vanished.

This was never really about discs versus downloads. It is about moving the largest entertainment medium on Earth from a world where you own an object the law protects, to one where you hold access the law treats as rented.

Convenient, cheaper, and easier for almost everyone. Also revocable in a way a disc never was.

The click of a disc into a console was ownership. The download is permission. Sony just showed you, in a single morning, how differently the two age.

Do you agree with what Sony did??

The MBARI (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) has a microphone at the bottom of the trench in Monterey Bay where they find stuff like this and you can listen to it live 24/7 and you can usually hear tons of whales but also you can hear Other Things

@Variety Not paying full price for video games in 2026 is great, actually.

Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles.

Manufacturers must also provide spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released.

This is real pressure against planned obsolescence. It should mean phones that actually last longer, cheaper fixes, and a lot less electronic waste piling up. About time.

HEADS UP: If you have a summer flight booked on Spirit Airlines, you need to start looking for a backup plan tonight.

​The receipts just leaked, and it is bad. Spirit is reportedly days, if not hours, away from total liquidation.

​The execs have been playing games in bankruptcy court twice in the last year, trying to cover up terrible management. Now, surging fuel costs are finally burying them.

​But instead of pausing operations, they are still actively selling tickets to everyday families who have no idea the planes might be permanently grounded by the weekend.

​If they close the doors, your ticket money gets locked up in bankruptcy court while the executives parachute out.

​They are treating your vacation fund like a life raft. Don't let them take your money down with the ship.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.

Media giants are now threatening to do this.

We can't let this happen.

Pass it on.
