And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising,” Guterres said during a speech in New York City yesterday. Guterres called out tech, media, and PR companies for accepting ad money from the fossil fuel industry even though a safe climate depends on replacing coal, oil, and gas with cleaner energy. Each of the past 12 months has smashed heat records, the European Commission’s Copernicus Climate Change Service confirmed yesterday. “I call on these companies... Continue reading…

It’s getting harder to get a Samsung phone fixed. | Image: Best Buy It’s been an interesting couple of weeks for people who want ways to get their Samsung phone fixed, between revelations about the company’s onerous repair shop contracts and a failed iFixit contract renegotiation. To add to that, Best Buy’s Geek Squad is in the middle of shutting down its Samsung authorized service provider program (ASP), which lets certain Best Buy stores repair your phone with genuine Samsung parts, tools, and training. The Verge was initially tipped off to a Geek Squad subreddit thread saying the company was leaving the program.

Image: Warner Bros. Games Warner Bros. Discovery took a $200 million hit after the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the troubled looter shooter released in February — and now we have a sense of what went wrong. A new report from Bloomberg details some of the studio’s struggles behind the scenes, including inexperience with the multiplayer genre and a “constantly changing vision.” Rocksteady, the UK-based studio owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, was tasked with developing a Suicide Squad game in 2016. At this time, new Rocksteady employees were reportedly unaware that the studio was developing a multiplayer game, as Rocksteady is known for its single-player action-adventure games like Batman: Arkham Knight. This caused many employees to leave, B... Continue reading…

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) have decided to split up their responsibilities in the upcoming antitrust investigations of Nvidia, Microsoft, and OpenAI, according to a recent report from The New York Times. The report explains that federal regulators are currently finalizing a deal which will allow them to open antitrust probes into "the dominant roles" these companies play in the AI industry. The DOJ will try to determine if American chipmaker Nvidia violated antitrust laws, while the FTC will focus on the behavior of Microsoft and OpenAI. As the report notes, all three companies had mostly evaded regulatory pressure from the Biden administration until now. That changed as generative AI started making headlines over the past two years, with these three companies at the forefront. Microsoft tantalized regulators when it invested billions of dollars into OpenAI and reportedly acquired a 49% ownership stake in the company. The Times reports that Microsoft specifically structured this deal to avoid scrutiny from regulators, but having such significant influence over one of the AI industry's biggest players while also integrating the company's technology deeply into its own products and services attracted their attention anyway. As for Nvidia, the chipmaker is the top provider of the GPUs that power many AI devices. Sales have grown exponentially in recent months, and the company's market cap hit $3 trillion for the first time this week, temporarily pushing it ahead of Apple. Sources told NYT that industry players are worried about Nvidia locking customers into using its chips with its software and how it distributes those chips to consumers.

In a recently published study, a pair of researchers from universities in the United States and Canada examined the chemical composition of glass beads made in Europe that were traded among indigenous people in the Western Great Lakes region in the 17th century. Through a unique and extensive process of analysis, the researchers were able to track indigenous participation in transatlantic exchange networks that predated the arrival of European settlers in the Great Lakes area, meaning glass beads made in Europe got to that region before actual Europeans!  Read moreSection: ArtifactsOther ArtifactsNewsHistory & ArchaeologyRead Later
