Intel has officially announced they are changing their processor branding
dropping their eyes like an awkward teenager asking the popular girl to prom
OTE it me Riley this is techlinked and you may not be bothered by Intel's new
core and core Ultra branded chips yet but you will be
Intel hinted to The Verge that core Ultra chips will have bigger feature
sets Arc level integrated Graphics AI capabilities and even the absolute best
performance that's right you name a buzzword in the ultra Hazard this isn't
the only change as we referenced earlier their iconic tier numbers like i7 and I9
are becoming a much less apple-like seven and nine introducing phone 15 Pro
imagine Christopher Hirsch Intel's
director of product branding says the question is no longer am I an i7 guy am
I an I9 guy it's now are you an ultra
buyer or are you a core buyer
as we'll go to the flea market what a bizarre choke now
I guess the eyes kept away the non-guys
well that's a surprise all right we're rhyming it's too early for rhyming and
The Branding change gets even worse Intel will now put the processor number
after the word processor meaning the
company expects customers to speak sentences like hello I would like to buy
an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 1070k
which was an awful physical experience for my mouth just now the changes will
take effect with the launch of meteor Lake later this year so enjoy the mouth
feel of Intel's current branding while you still can twitch is introducing
partner plus a program that will allow anyone to earn 70 of their subscription
Revenue with several notable caveats first of all by anyone twitch means
anyone with 350 recurring subscriptions for a period of at least three
consecutive months that should have been obvious but which is kind of like saying
hey anyone can win the lottery yeah
technically it's true but you're more likely to get hit by lightning and run
over by a car on the way to buy the ticket know your limit play Within it I didn't
I didn't especially since twitch Prime subscriptions and gift subscriptions
arguably the most common types of subscriptions don't count towards the
350 sub goal but once you achieve it for
those three months you are automatically enrolled in partner Plus for the next 12
months until you hit the 100 000 cap don't get too rich
on God yes okay naturally the reactions
to this announcement have been mixed long time streamer Harris Heller was
expressing his consternation with twitch's monetization okay I'll accept
it when Seth Hendricks the creative and
editorial director of twitch literally entered the chat to tell Heller that he
didn't think Heller was wrong per se he just had so many assumptions that are so
way off poor Hendricks couldn't figure out
that's the same thing which might explain why twitch has made so many poor
decisions recently they don't know what words mean Hendrix proceeded to spend 10
minutes spamming the chat to the point where a Fed Up Heller finally tried to
ban Hendrix only to find out you can't ban twitch employees so he just ended
the Stream because at twitch we believe that
interfering with your ability to make money on our platform requires a
personal touch we'll come screw up your stream personally and the EU Parliament
has approved comprehensive regulation to the Region's battery Market to make it a
battery Market
the legislation which comes from a proposal made over two years ago is
meant to ensure batteries can be repurposed remanufactured or recycled
once all the battery juice has been squeezed out one of the big changes for
consumers will be that device manufacturers must design batteries so
users can themselves easily remove and replace them instead of having to send
your phone to some blue shirted group of jerks that call themselves Geniuses
because they think they're better than you other changes include requiring EV
batteries to declare their carbon footprint and eventually giving them a
fancy digital battery passport starting in 2026 that will hold information on
the battery model such as what cars don't have feet
what footprint oh my gosh that was so
long ago almost way too slow such as which side is its best side for taking
photos fish that would be a passport photo joke
if you didn't take fast forward photos Face Forward
the passport will also contain information specific
the passport will also contain information specific to the individual
battery and its use but before this all becomes actual law the EU Council will
need to formally endorse the text before its publication in the EU official
Journal shortly after and its entry into Force like Obi-Wan or in American still

of Reddit Steve Huffman AKA Huff Huff
pass is standing firm on the platform's controversial API changes Huffman has
stated that Reddit was never designed to support third-party apps despite doing
exactly that for 10 years already based on my personal experience Reddit also
wasn't designed to support first party apps oh
despite stating that they wouldn't unilaterally reopen communities that are
closed for the protest Reddit has implied that moderators of protesting
subreddits may be replaced to keep the site open and accessible to users not
exactly a moderate response and that's what the users want I mean look at all
these incredibly recent one-word five-star reviews we're not saying
Reddit is paying for these reviews but if they are they aren't buying enough
their average is still 3.6 steam has received a major update
looking even better than my mom did when I took her to prom
ISE it's been given a bunch of new features including a cloud-based notes
function and the ability to pin Windows in game which even allows you to watch
movies while you play of course the biggest improvements are in the back end
since there's new shared code base between steam desktop Big Picture Mode
and bigger booty I wish and steam deck just like a
rom-com makeover the most important change happens on the inside

a group of 17 music Publishers in the U.S has sued Twitter for allegedly
enabling copyright violations what how apparently the platform was in talks to
license music rights before Elon Musk bought the platform and fired 75 of its
staff bringing new meaning to the phrase everything changed when the Fire Nation
attacked the phrase everyone knows another new
change is the platform has been evicted from one of their offices in Boulder
Colorado after failing to pay rent speech may be free to Twitter but real
estate it's not so Japanese company Astro scale
plans on offering a space cleanup service that will remove defunct
satellites from Earth's orbit and no this is not actually an indie game that
just launched on Steam it's an opportune time since both the FCC and the world
economic Forum seem to agree that space operators should dispose of their unused
equipment within five years following end of mission you got five years is
that fair just throw it in the garbage
25. it can stay on the ground for five years and then it's ridiculous in an
animation Astro scale shows how their Elsa M servicer Frozen fans will Decay
the or Let It Go Riley I can't we'll
Decay the orbits of dead satellites causing them to crash towards Earth and
burn up in the atmosphere in what must be the most violent implementation of
the Khan Marie method which is the Marie

and Diablo 4 players have yet to find
the game's secret cow level which has featured in every other entry in the
franchise developers at blizzard have suggested this may be because the level
does not exist maybe maybe it's not there guys despite the disappointing
news from blizzard hopefulgamers believe the company is just trying to mislead
them and prevent them from fully enjoying their game which seems to be
Blizzard's job honestly it's perfectly believable since blizzard had personally
sucked the fun out of every other one of their IPs at least once that's the
secret to keeping things fresh regular doses of disappointment
it's called subverting expectations the sequel sucked and now you appreciate
what we give you okay I'm talking about Star Wars but you won't be disappointed
