U.K.’s Richest Family Spent More on Dog Than Paying Staff, Court Hears
  • Some members of the staff also felt their compensation was better than they might otherwise have earned in India, the defense argued.

    Is this a real lawyer? They clearly have no legal case. I hope the book gets thrown at them.

  • Meta accidentally leaks Quest 3S in Meta Store, quickly deletes it
  • The processor in 3 is a pretty sizeable improvement over 2. A quick and dirty a/b test I did found frames rendered in 13ms on q2 would render in 9-10ms on q3, so that's a good 20 - 30% faster, even though it's rendering a lot more pixels.

    I think the important bit for meta though is making sure their range of headsets all have decent passthrough. No one is going to develop MR apps, and it'll never take off, unless the whole user base can use them.

    Personally I'd take the better lenses and resolution of the q3 over better passthrough though.

  • TalkTV to close down television channel and go online only
  • Maybe. But I don't think it's anything other than a big defeat for them. Nothing beats being beamed into people's living rooms to give you accessibility and credibility. Even if they become more extreme online there's a lot of competition in that space.

  • Helldivers 2 Says 'We Really Applied Ourselves to Not Make It Pay-to-Win'
  • The first one did a really good job of having an interesting range of guns and abilities which were very well balanced. There was no 'best gear'. I'm sure they're able to have things worth buying that don't give you an unfair advantage over people who haven't. It's a morally hazardous area though.

  • How To Get Ahead In Advertising (1989)
  • This film is a total gem. It's mad, smart and surreal. And Richard E Grant is a perfect cast for the cynical ad' man.

    Plot spoiler, personally I think going in blind is good with this film but if you're not gonna watch it...

    !The 'ahead' in the title is an actual head. A second head with a wicked alter ego that forms on the advertising man's neck and grows. Moral corruption from his occupation in the shape of a boil. A power struggle between 'good' head (the protagonist is a massive asshole but he does have some tiny moral reservations about his influence in the world) and bad head (no scruples whatsoever) then plays out.!<

    That makes it sound like a romp, and it is very funny, but also really dark and cynical.

    Also recommend The Young Poisoner's Handbook.

  • Substack turns on its "Nazis Welcome!" sign
  • It's not just sub stack. Every social media company wants to avoid having to make editorial decisions. One, it's a never ending task that costs money and two, if you make editorial decisions on content you are a publisher. Being a publishers comes with lots of existing laws which they do not want to get involved in.

    And anyway, is censorship the best way of fighting bigotry?
