- I liked the computer so much, I bought the company: Vtuber and classic computer afficionado Perifractic was in talks to acquire a license to distribute old Commodore software. (Tom's Hardware)
The current owners of Commodore made a counter-offer.
We don't know yet exactly what was offered or the outcome; the video ended in something of a cliffhanger.
Tech News
- A copyright suit filed against Google by textbook publishers - the piratest pirates that ever pirated - has been forced to walk the plank. (TorrenFreak)
The claim was that by selling ad space for copies of the textbooks that were sometimes not entirely legitimate, Google was vicariously infringing.
Google said this was obvious bullshit and filed to dismiss.
The judge agreed.
- Bambu Labs has removed third-party app support for its P and A series printers. (Tom's Hardware)
Gradually locking all users into its own ecosystem. It did the same thing to its X series earlier this year.
You can - for now - still set your printer into developer mode and install the apps you want.
- What to do when AI is all artificial and zero intelligence. (The Atlantic / MSN)
Also, why the Butlerian Jihad was so named.
- Trees good. (Washington Post / MSN)
Thanks Washington Post. Whatever would we do without you.

I had the video appear in my Youtube recommended video. I would like a revival of Commodore in some way, but since we can now use TVs for computer monitors via HDMI in the same way the Commodore 64 could use the TV via coaxial cable, it is not very high on my list of things to be interested in right now.

JQ - Yep, I got the alarm just a minute before you posted here. All good now, just an issue with the IP addresses.

Ugh, I keep seeing thumbnails for that "I bought commodore" video. It has all the hallmarks of garbage, including a bearded male with his mouth open, and an arrow pointing at something.
