I’ve also been experimenting with this, and I can confirm that if your CMOS battery dies, any digital game with the timer becomes unplayable again, even if the console is set as the primary. This is a digital game I purchased with money yesterday. I didn’t claim it with PS Plus.

Potential major DRM issue rolled out by PlayStation (and Xbox as well, allegedly). All new PSN purchases now have a 30 day validation countdown. Already investigating to find out more details.

A @pewresearch study found that 38% of webpages from a decade ago and 25% of pages sampled across the decade are now inaccessible; @internetarchive's analysis shows that the @waybackmachine has rescued roughly 15% of those otherwise dead pages. blog.archive.org/2026/04/23/gon… #linkrot

Yea we joke about the double standard in the media, but this is legitimately insane.

I'm not a fan of gerrymandering. But I'm still waiting for a convincing explanation for why it’s a “threat to democracy” when Democrats do it and mysteriously fine when Republicans do. The extremely blatant double standard is a bit much.

In 1964, the Supreme Court said debate on public issues should be "uninhibited, robust, and wide-open." To that end, it set a high bar for public officials to prevail in defamation lawsuits. Kash Patel will need to prove @TheAtlantic and its reporter knowingly published false information, or that they had a reckless disregard for the truth. As with past efforts by administration officials to win these lawsuits against news publications, I'm highly skeptical they will do so here. But winning might not be the point. Regardless of the outcome, such lawsuits impose a cost on reporting. “I spent a couple of bucks on legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more," Trump said of a previous defamation he lost. "I did it to make his life miserable, which I’m happy about.”

This is the true legacy of DOGE - the utter decimation of medical research. MAGA idiots will try to tell you this is just cutting DEI programs. Keep in mind DOGE was filled with such idiots they killed physics grants that mentioned 'polarization' (of light) because of "DEI".
