These are miniature versions of the $10 watches that are popular in Japan as "Cheap Casio." They can be purchased from gashapon machines for $3 each. The screens are printed, so they cannot be used to display the time or as a calculator.

I'm surprised that Twitch users don't have a PS5. Do they not play games?

Safari is first.

Windows 11 has also been plagued by bugs in the Microsoft Defender UI until recently, and it has been warning users about security risks even when they block Microsoft telemetry. This shows that Microsoft is not taking security seriously.

Microsoft products are often criticized for being expensive to use on public clouds other than Azure. In terms of "bundling", Microsoft has not changed its ways.

I don't understand giving pre-release books to TikTok influencers for promotion - do TikTok aficionados really read books? I don't think the publisher's attitude of just getting buzz is sincere towards readers and authors.

A lot of people continue to use Adobe, no matter how much they rip them off, because there is no alternative, for better or worse, and when someone somewhere says they are going to make apps that can compete with Adobe, I don't think professional quality apps will actually be developed.

In the Activision case, the FTC ignored the fact that cloud gaming is a very small market and that the high-end console market is dominated by PlayStation, and filed an injunction to prevent the acquisition on the grounds that "large-scale acquisitions by large companies are not good." As a result, it was natural that they lost the lawsuit.

In the case of the FTC's proposal to split Amazon, the FTC has been collecting evidence to support its claims for the past three years, even before Lina Khan took office as the chair. In addition, Amazon has actually pressured third-party retailers by using its dominant position in online shopping. Therefore, I think the claim is more likely to be upheld than in the Activision case.

I'm sure Sam Altman can't stop laughing because people willingly give their privacy to a venture company they don't really understand, just to issue a virtual currency that's worth a couple of bucks.

The "X" trademark owned by Meta belongs to Mixer, a game streaming site formerly run by Microsoft, which was shut down in 2017, but its operations were taken over by Facebook Gaming. The "X" trademark of Mixer was also given to Meta at that time.

Twitch is only barely viable because it does not pay a penny to the copyright holders of the games streamed on Twitch, and if those rights are handled properly, it would be a completely unsustainable business. There is a notion that streamers can promote their games by streaming them, but there is no basis for this at all. I have seen many times where streamers flock to a game that has become popular, and when the popularity of that game wanes, they move on to other games en masse. In other words, the presence of streamers only hurts the game's bottom line. Funding streamers is as silly as advertising on 4ch, so to speak.

Xbox is currently far behind PlayStation in market share, and PlayStation has been using its market dominance to negotiate exclusive deals with publishers, which has been detrimental to gamers who do not own a PlayStation console.

The article mentions that the FTC was previously seen as being too close to big business. However, the only other regulatory body that has opposed the acquisition of AB by Microsoft is the UK's CMA, which is led by a person with ties to Sony. In addition, the FTC's arguments in court seemed to be more focused on protecting Sony than on protecting consumers.

The EU is generally very critical of market dominance by large companies, but it has approved the acquisition of AB. This suggests that not all regulatory bodies are puppets of big business.

The FTC has been criticized for being too focused on preventing large acquisitions and not doing enough to protect consumers. As a result, the FTC has been seen as being on the side of Sony, which is the dominant player in the high-end gaming market.

Patriotism is a goldmine. It can be used to raise money, and most of that money will go into the pockets of the people who are using it to stir up patriotism. It's a way to make money off of people's love for their country.

The person mentioned in the article, comori22, is still on Twitter and is not a professional illustrator. The Chinese are only interested in the derivative works of famous IPs that he draws, and he himself is not well-known at all.

They created an account on a social networking site called plurk in Taiwan a few years ago because they were upset that Twitter's terms had changed and they would no longer be able to post pornographic illustrations, but in the end they clung to Twitter because there was no guilt to be attached to them, and this time will be no different.

I only feel that Microsoft evangelists are paid seminar speakers.

Windows 11 can multitask and is used on a widescreen display and has the ability to align windows, so why not just put Outlook next to Edge instead of using Edge's sidebar to display email?

Being faddists, they're probably doing something about AI at the moment, aren't they?

I believe that at least in large cities, in addition to Japanese information signs, English, Chinese, and Korean are written side by side.

I'm told that Microsoft and OpenAI have a partnership, but only a very few people at Microsoft have access to the source code and other information that OpenAI has. That means even Microsoft doesn't know the details of what is going on with ChatGPT.

Microsoft outsources Windows QA to amateurs called Windows Insiders for no compensation, right?

It's fine for Nadella to focus on AI, but please do a better job of quality control for their products such as Windows 11. Every time a patch comes in, there are bugs.

I wonder who thought of that stuff, like the transition to Bing when you overscroll in Bing Chat.

If expandability is not what Apple wants, then what is the space inside Mac Pro for?

"The Epoch Times reported."

Hmmm...

The desktop version of Bing Chat has recently been made available in Chrome, but Vivaldi is apparently not on the allow list and is sending Chrome's user agent. Since Bing Chat is not available in Chrome on Android, Vivaldi is sending Edge's user agent, as the article says.

In order to download a file via Torrent, someone has to upload it, and when using Torrent via VPN, the file cannot be uploaded without port forwarding.

The reason for this is probably because the UI team uses Mac. If you look at the cruiser icon on this Fluent 2 introduction page, it's clearly a macOS one with vertical lines on the gloves.

Is there any evidence that game streaming is an effective way to promote games? Game publishers often ask YouTubers, VTubers, and Twitch streamers to promote their games, but it is rare for these efforts to actually increase the popularity of a game. It is not that the games become more popular because they are streamed, but rather that the streamers are streaming popular games in order to attract viewers.
