> Windows cheats here because it also manages BIOS updates

Is this (relatively) new?

I don't use TPM and I rarely update BIOS unless I really need to, but I thought there was an option on my BIOS/UEFI to use USB drive to update it. How would Windows know about it?

Notch (the original creator of Minecraft) mentioned he got inspired by DF:

> Infiniminer is the main inspiration for the blocky design and the terrain deforming. Dwarf Fortress is the main inspiration for the survival game mode, and this is where I want to take the majority of the gameplay.

Kovarex (creator of Factorio) mentions Minecraft mod(s):

> I always loved minecraft mods like industrial craft, but limitations of minecraft were my motivation to create something on my own.

https://forum.industrial-craft.net/thread/8845-factorio/

and not getting job at Mojang:

> I had this great idea to apply for a job at Mojang as working on Minecraft might be very inspiring. I didn't get any reply, and later on, I decided to try to make something on my own.

Offtopic: could people that write news titles please learn how to capitalize words? Or can we make sure that at AI will know it, when most of news are written by it?

Took me 3 tries to parse the title.

"Rivian Joins Forces" - is that name of an organization? - "with Tesla"... nope, that doesn't make sense.

"Rivan Joins forces" (somebody to do something), syntax error got "with".

"Rivan joins forces with Tesla" - yay!

And you know that person who wrote this knows about lowercase, because of "with" and "for"...

And why would you need crypto for that? You can sign stuff without crypto.

If username is an e-mail then an app probably checks if e-mail domain has configured single sign on (SSO) and, if it has, it redirect you to your company authentication server instead of asking for password.

And non-American banks force their non-American customers to answer "are you happen to be American resident?". Even when they never did anything related to USA.

Imagine if every country on Earth asked this. But of course USA can force other countries to do whatever it wants.

Most of cities in Poland have their own $city.pl domain and allow websites to buy $website.$city.pl. That might not be well known. And cities have theri websites, so I guess it's OK.

But info.pl and biz.pl? Did nobody hear about country variants of gTLDs?!

Was her Youtube account removed or whole Google account?

I might need to rethink uploading my Factorio speedruns to YT...
