One of the streaming services should buy the rights to create a TV series or maybe even a series of movies but make them serious, like Halo and not like the existing corny WC movie.

I have no issues with fast lanes, if an app/service provider wants to pay for it, like a bank or streamer, so long as a customer gets his connection they are paying for with a guaranteed QOS, i.e no throttling when fast lanes require speed bumps, in speed or response times.

So another company running tries to pull a fast one with open software to make a fast buck, suddenly finds that their product is now truly open source and a direct competitor, bangs goes any future profit or maybe even the future existence of the company. No Sympathy for greedy companies !

MGM does seem to have something to hide, maybe some dodgy payments to investors with Italian sounding surnames.?

Hey Microsoft, why does a server registry not have a change backup or locked out from being changed by unapproved 3rd party tools?

KPMG true response would most likely be .. damn we got caught, how much is the fine, LOL pay it, get a few people to fall on their swords for some dosh, put on the sad puppy dog face and say we are so sorry and it's business as usual, profits and bonuses for everybody. Unless the punishment is meaningful, big fines, bans for senior staff and even prison time, businesses will consider this a cost and low risk and just carry on.

This is why when a product is EOL and the manufacturer no longer supports, it should become open source, if there is anything propriety, then that's just tough cookie dough!

At this rate, machines will just have one big fat PCIe bus and a "Sir Topham Hatt" doing management/QOS and you won't have to worry about how many lanes a device is getting, just use the nifty firmware interface to configure. Just think of all those NVMe, GPUs, NPUs and CXL memory expansions playing nicely together.

Many have said it and we'll say it again, in today's green don't throw away perfectly good stuff and recycle, why are the watchdogs, regulators and lawmakers not jumping all over Microsofts and their OEM poodles spine about forcing unwanted and in many cases unneeded hardware replacements. If W10 is no longer fit for service, why are M$ still selling licences, surely they should be enforcing people to buy W11 only. All these people can't bought and paid to do Microsoft dirty work? W10 is a perfectly acceptable operating system that still has many years of service, consumers know this, time for Microsoft just to accept it, and allow it to be replaced by W11 overtime.

So not good enough for US Government as it's a security risk, but that's ok for us plebs, as MegaCorps, 3 letter agencies and the bad actors need access to our data and it would be far to them if we had secure systems.

So some areas are already maxed out for consumer connections resulting in poor speeds and now they want to bolt on the overheads of mobile users, smart move to "P" off even more people in to leaving !

Sadly using it and it's the biggest pile of dog poo ever to have been rolled out by Microdicks !

Back in the day Firefox was my browser of choice, as an experiment, I went back to Firefox for a month, sadly, now uninstalled and back to Edge. It just didn't work as well as Edge and the design was clunky and slow, maybe I long for the old Firefox days when the design was simplistic/usable and its performance was equal or better to the others and of course plugins for everything the user wanted.

In my view AI is just hype for a general user, doing their daily work. AI probably works for background processing requiring quick indepth decision making based on changing data that in the old days was done with less flexible scripts?

They need funds, divert some from overseas aid that we know gets into the hands of dictators and terrorist groups!

Whatever your personal feelings over Trump, his America First, is now being echoed by a lot of other countries population wishing to put home-grown issues at the top of priorities and rightly so!

If only IBM didn't sack so many experienced mainframe engineers for getting too old and not thinking about passing on decades of experience, which should be worth millions in revenue if you take the blinkered accountants, short sighted short term profits and senior management out of the equation !

If ASML are pressured to cancel contracts, then USA taxpayer should compensate the company. If USA refuse, then contracts should be honour until laws prevent it.

Logitech G Hub software - no thanks, from experience it's buggy crap !

or the EU could just screw it, open up a wide reaching invetsigation of all the mega corps with the intention of breaking up these cosy little hardware/software/services monopolies and then invite all the other regional regulators to join in. Hit the bastards were it really hurts, profit margins !

6% penalty will make a nice dent in the EU black hole budget !

So basically Apple give 2 fingers to EU for messing with their monopoly. I hope the EU take note and start looking at breaking them up !

OK, don't cancel me but I voted for Brexit and still believe in it, if done properly with UKGov and EUssr discussing like adults and not two old senile woman arguing over a fence, but also believe that the UK must stay in ECHR as a check against governments overreaching the power we gave them to make decisions on our behalf.

Dump all your subscriptions, pay for DVD/BRs, format shift, build your own cheap Plex server, all the stuff "you" want, when "you" want it and view as many times as "you" want too, plus plenty of free channels of questionable content. Notice the big thing in my statement .... "YOU" !!!!

How many leavers does this place get to cause such a mismanagement of payroll?

Health Minister did not immediately respond to our questions .. brown envelopes from Insurance reps to ensure he's unavailable?

Smells like a perfect excuse for the clipboard clutching pen pusher, to produce his 300 page review of the process for the "Usage And Storage Of Headsets In the Laboratory".

Why is the EU and the other world wide regulators and apologies for the next term "pissing about" with the likes of Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta. Just break up the monopolists.

Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet, should be split in to Hardware, OS and application companies and Meta just broken up in to seperate companies, with permament blockages to them merging together and limitations on which companies and individuals can hold shares in each other to stop cosy under the table clubs !

So one of, if not the most abusive user of personal information or uploaded content is going to be the guardian of AI content on it's platforms, must be a profit in it somewhere !

You don't have to do anything to Windows or Microsoft Apps, you just slap Microsoft with multiple Billions of £$€ fines for a deliberate global mass breach of data protection, decimate their profits and share value for a year for the shareholders and you can guarantee they will be coding their little backsides off to remove offending code across all their apps, even if some of the apps have yet to show dodgy doings and the upside is also the other Mega Corps start panicking and start cleaning up their houses ! Time to stop treading softly for these serial offenders, as they don't learn, it's just business to them !!!
