Jez Corden explains disc-to-digital (Project Positron) conversion platform You literally put the disc into the console, and it gives you a digital license for the game permanently for your Microsoft account. If you give the disc away or sell it; if it gets connected to another Microsoft account, you lose access to that digital license. You don't need the disc to keep verifying it. It's whoever last used the disc who gets the license. In 2013 (Xbox One launch) there was a rumor that retailers were going to unlock the disc, but that wasn't actually true, but it was badly communicated, and Xbox leaders misunderstood how the feature was going to work. It became a huge cluster that they had to scrap. You get the full game, you get the Xbox Cloud version, you get the Xbox Play Anywhere version, and you get the license as if you purchased it digitally. Superchat: Alright, so insert the disc, get the digital license, snap the disc in half, got it. 😂 via: Jez Windows Central

RUMOR | John Linneman said he heard from a couple of sources that Microsoft was very much going to continue disc support before the Xbox “reset” He heard “Microsoft was actually very much going to continue disc support, not because they value disc retail sales but because they wanted to ensure that all your Xbox games were still be playable on new Xboxes.” He mentioned that Xbox “could offer maybe like an external drive or basically some means. And I think that might all tie into this disc to digital stuff as well.” Also speculated that he sees a “future where Microsoft supports physical games going forward for users that want to take their library with them while Sony just completely cuts people off.” via: Digital Foundry

Microsoft denies rewriting Windows 11 using AI after an employee’s “one engineer, one month, one million lines of code” post on LinkedIn causes outrage. "Windows is *NOT* being rewritten in Rust with AI" -- Microsoft. Since this has Microsoft's attention, it's the right time to remind everyone about the lack of "native" code for UI-level features in Windows 11, as everything is moving to WebView2. For example, in recent Windows 11 builds, Notification Center's Agenda view is built using WebView2, and you'll notice spike in web resources (Edge-related processes) when you open Notification Center.

African based media outlets, with the exception of a few, are the biggest weapon fashioned against the progress of the continent. How most of the outlets reacted to a recent InterPol report on digital scamming in Africa is a strong evidence, for anyone who’s still in doubt.

Kevin O'Leary says Apple's genius is making people pay 5x more for a laptop they could buy for $350 "you can buy an Apple laptop, average price about $1,800, or you can buy the same functionality for $350 on a Windows laptop" "but you still pay $1,800. Why? Brand" "you're paying a 5x multiple in some cases for something that is exactly like a Windows machine" "I put that out to people, they say, yeah, but it's not an Apple. So there is the genius of Jobs"

Matt Mullenweg told us the best acquisition his company ever made. He'd been studying Microsoft. For every $1 Microsoft made on Windows, the ecosystem around it made about $20. He wanted the app that sat on top of WordPress the way Office sat on top of Windows. He found it in a 40-person company in South Africa with 4 engineers. It was called woocommerce. They beat out a private equity firm to buy it. Last year over $30b in goods and services sold through it.

🚨 THIS IS HOW IT STARTS — THEY'RE USING THE BENADRYL CHALLENGE TO PUSH MANDATORY DIGITAL IDS Teenagers taking Benadryl. The media explodes. Politicians demand action. And somehow the solution ends with YOU proving who you are every time you go online. A viral challenge becomes the perfect justification for age verification, online identity checks, and restrictions on anonymous accounts. The public is told it's about safety. Critics argue it's about something else entirely. Because once every account is tied to a verified identity... the internet changes forever. The people pushing it insist you have nothing to worry about. If digital ID becomes mandatory tomorrow, will you comply or refuse?

Asmongold goes OFF, saying "It's mind boggling that people still don't understand this. No matter whether it's physical or digital, you never truly own it” after people complained about "having" less ownership following Sony's PlayStation decision to move away from physical media copies 👀😬 “This is what makes me so mad about this just because you buy a digital version doesn't mean that you should be giving up any of your consumer rights. And this concept and this dichotomy between physical and digital editions they are just almost assumed that you have less ownership of them is bullsh*t. It is a false dichotomy that has been created by companies in order to give you the illusion that you have control. Whenever you buy a disc of something, but the disc is running on software, they can choose not to run the program”

CoreWeave and Nebius are not tech companies. They are equipment leasing businesses. Jim Chanos on iConnections: strip the AI narrative and you have companies that buy GPUs from $NVDA and rent them to hyperscalers. The economics confirm it - mid-to-high single-digit pre-tax returns on capital where the data is available. His rule: a middleman in a supply chain should never trade at a higher multiple than the company that controls its supply. Nvidia sets GPU prices. CoreWeave takes them. TSMC sets chip supply. Neo clouds depend on it. The market has this relationship inverted. That is the compression trade. Full supply chain breakdown and what it means for neo cloud valuations: Source: iConnections -

Rubio: It's not good for anybody to rely on one country or one economy for 90% of anything, especially things like critical supply chains. This is a reality. We want to diversify supply chains around the world. We've spoken clearly about it. That's not an anti-China thing. That's just the reality that over-dependence on one source is not good, especially when there's been a willingness in the past to use it as leverage against each other.

Getty Images: How The West Silently Profits From Africa’s History Since the birth of what we know today as news media, Africa’s story has been primarily told to the world by non-African voices serving non-African interests. The tragic consequence of this has been a wealth of media assets, photos, videos, audio recordings and documents relevant to Africa’s modern history, chronicling significant African events, but legally owned by Western media, and profited from to this day by Western corporations. In this report for the Spearhead, Barra Hart shines a light on Getty Images, one of the world’s largest digital media platforms, how the US-based company and others like it continue to rake in profits, through their digital media licensing “feature”, from African stories, and what Africa can do about it.
