Futurology Today

Sorry if its oddly specific, but as someone from an East Asian family, I kinda wanna see how the parents would react, morbid curiosity.

By "East Asia", I mean the "Sinophere" and any culture with this "filial piety" or similar thing.

Canada is starting a dispute resolution process against Stellantis after the automaker said last month that it’s moving jobs to the U.S.

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly told a parliamentary committee Monday that Ottawa wants to recover some of the billions it has committed to Stellantis.

Joly said Stellantis moving production of the Jeep Compass from Brampton, Ont., to Illinois is a violation of a contract.

"Today, before the close of business, the government will take the next step under the contracts to recover Canadian taxpayers’ money,” Joly said.

At the Durango, Colo., police chief’s request, Colorado law enforcement will investigate whether a federal agent broke the law when he appeared to put a protester in a chokehold.

Today's game is Max Payne 2. ever since i started doing a Theme for this month i've been wanting to play this because of it's fall theme (that and the first game in winter). Now that Halloween is over it's the perfect time for this. I even installed the widescreen fix.

I had a bug where the sound mixing was horrendous. In this room it was kind of calming though. Just lots of rain which made it soothing. The police sirens were drowned out so it was just me, Max, and the rain drops.

Going through this game after having beat it once is surreal. I'm noticing a lot of things i didn't before. And on top of that im better at the game than before. I still have to get used to pressing F5 to save every once in a while, but besides that it's an interesting experience.

The dream sequence was a little trippy. I think the widescreen fix did something because there are some visual errors i don't remember. I don't think you can see them in this screenshot, but they were there.

All of this is kind of me refreshing for the Remake coming out soon. I'm excited for it, and i wanted to brush up before it comes out to see the differences. I'm hoping it's a case of things being different but not vastly altered, but with Remedy doing it i have a lot of trust. I just hope Sam Lake is hands on with this one again.

So @waag can debug their https://waag.org/ in @vivaldi_browser : https://www.edwardvandevendel.nl/en is acting up in the same: I have to scroll before content appears. In other words: there's exactly one screen-height of whitespace. I hope having another example helps finding the cause of the problem.

SUSE's hardware enablement team has worked through proper U-Boot support for the Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer.

The official Raspberry Pi OS images for the Raspberry Pi 5 does not use any bootloader at all while SUSE engineers worked out U-Boot support to enhance the boot support for this popular ARM64 SBC. There will also be USB boot support with this U-Boot code too once the PCI Express support is settled.

I'm asking because they're might be a way for me to have a Linux laptop at work. But I'd like it to be connected to the Active Directory for login and other accesses. I'm specifically thinking of installing either Kubuntu or Zorin OS. (Zorin seems better)

Anyone got experience with this? How did it go? Was there any advantages or disadvantages in having you computer connected to AD for login?

Evil and bad people usually have actual reasons for why they are doing bad things. They aren’t doing bad things just to do them — there is usually something bad that happened in their past, etc

It looks like Sony wants to create its own version of the Xbox Play Anywhere program. Gamers would buy a game once and gain access to it on both console and PC. We don't know whether 'cross-buy' will support existing PC stores or if Sony will choose to create a new one. However, the second option seems more likely. It could solve several issues:

1. Revenue: With its own store, Sony would retain 100% of the profit - a crucial factor if they plan to let players buy a game once and play it across multiple devices.
2. Save File Synchronization: Existing stores don’t support PlayStation consoles
3. Device Control: By launching its own store, Sony could decide which devices are supported. For example, they could blacklist "Xbox-PC" devices like the ROG Xbox Ally.
4. PlayStation Plus on PC: With its own store, Sony could extend the PlayStation Plus subscription to include PC games - similar to Game Pass. They could introduce a new "PlayStation Plus Ultimate" that would allow access games on both PC and PlayStation

Of course, there's also the possibility that Sony has signed a deal with Epic or Valve. In recent years, Sony has invested hundreds of millions in Epic. In the past, Epic heavily promoted the PS5 during the reveal of Unreal Engine 5. For years, Epic has been seeking partners to promote its store, which has already led to agreements with companies like Amazon (Prime Gaming). Deal with Sony could become their chance to fight against Steam and Game Pass
