Valve did not say exactly why it got rid of its forced arbitration clause. But the company is currently being sued in a class action lawsuit in Washington state over the dominance of the Steam platform and over claims that it has overcharged for some games. The plaintiffs in that case actually went to arbitration and convinced an arbitrator that the forced arbitration clause should not apply to them, and were allowed to sue.

The plaintiffs in that case “retained separate counsel and mounted a sustained and ultimately successful challenge to the enforceability of Valve’s arbitration provision. Specifically, the named Plaintiffs won binding decisions from arbitrators rendering Valve’s arbitration provision unenforceable for both lack of notice and because it impermissibly seeks to bar public injunctive relief,” the class action lawsuit against Valve reads. Valve has not yet filed any arguments in that case.

I don’t recall Qualcomm trying to buy ARM.

Thanks for correcting me.

That’d be a more horizontal acquisition than a vertical one as Qualcomm doesn’t make x86 chips so they can at least argue it wouldn’t be anti-competitive.

Not sure if AMD and Nvidia, will see it that way, and they will probably lobby to stop the deal.

Its trying to send spam. Report the link to Google Safe Browsing and move on.

This is never going to get regulatory approval. FTC will move to block the this acquisition.

Qualcomm wasn’t allowed to buy ARM, no way it gets to buy Intel.

Edit :I stand corrected.

It was Nvidia trying to buy ARM.

Heartbreaking: Worst Corporation(s) you know, just made a good stand

Same error for me.

From the article:

In an email, a GivEnergy representative reinforced Castellucci’s assessment, writing:

In this case, the problematic encryption approach was picked up via a 3rd party library many years ago, when we were a tiny startup company with only 2, fairly junior software developers & limited experience. Their assumption at the time was that because this encryption was available within the library, it was safe to use. This approach was passed through the intervening years and this part of the codebase was not changed significantly since implementation (so hadn't passed through the review of the more experienced team we now have in place).

Nope, its available on mobile too. Just go to

Sidebar>Settings>Colour

(Options to choose from)

• Light

• Dark

• Automatic

Such a courageous move.

Nope, as usual a corpo has taken OSM’s data and are going to provide it under new banner with few useful edits and not contribute to OSM.

Just like, pre-installed Edge and Onedrive, completely opt in and one day a windows update (automatically) reboots your pc and you just got opted in.

Probably a ban evasion measure linked to your IP. Try changing your IP address and then comment, might work.

If you are going to take your phone to a protest. Think about your digital safety.

This is what i fear. How much curation and monitoring will be done on the ads, or this will be another vector for malicious application
