The Sims 3 community was confused on Tuesday when they saw an unfamiliar pop-up when launching the 2009 release: Update required. Electronic Arts pushed an update to The Sims 3, updating a patch that was originally issued in 2015, per a Sims wiki. (The last patch listed on The Sims 3s official website is 1.67, which was updated in 2014. The latest patch is 1.69. There is also a 1.70 patch, which is only available for MacOS users; that was issued in 2020.) The new update doesnt fundamentally change The Sims 3. In fact, it doesnt change The Sims 3 at all. Instead, the update fixes an issue that prevented players using computers with 12th generation Intel processors from playing the game. Players with these CPUs would see the game crash on launch. In 2022, a prominent The Sims 3 modder, LazyDuchess, fixed the issue with her own modded patch. Electronic Arts update on Tuesday is the official fix for people using the EA App launcher. Steam players dont appear to have received the update.Naturally, The Sims 3 community is somewhat hesitant about the patch; theyve spent more than a decade amassing modded and scripted content, and theyre worried about an official, forced patch messing it all up. One community member has set up a thorough guide to the update, including how not to update your game, if thats something youd like to prevent. Mods appear to be safe, Reddit user CowardlyCandy said.Polygon has reached out to Electronic Arts for comment.You might be wondering: Why would Electronic Arts update The Sims 3 nearly 16 years after it was released. Though The Sims 4 itself more than 10 years old is still popular, with roughly 30,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, The Sims 3 still has a sizeable community, despite the roadblocks to get it to run on new systems. Numbers arent available on the EA App, but on Steam, The Sims 3 has 1,000 to more than 2,000 concurrent players at any given time. Its pretty impressive for a game to have that sort of staying power.Notably, The Sims is coming up on its 25th anniversary in early February. The developer announced in a community showcase on Wednesday that its adding a bunch of new stuff to The Sims 4 to celebrate including overhauled lighting and updated Sims properties. Electronic Arts is all-in on The Sims 4, The Sims franchise vice president Kate Gorman Revelli told Polygon in September, despite the developer also working on the mysterious Project Rene alongside the long-running game.

(the Pixel 9 Pro XL is essentially the same phone, just bigger). The Pixel 9 Pro comes with 16GB of RAM, 128GB of memory storage, a maximum 120 HZ refresh rate, and the Android 14 operating system. As Lifehacker's associate tech editor Michelle Ehrhardt explained in her review of the Pixel 9 Pro, the phone's hardware is the best Google has made so far, but its AI features still have hiccups. However, AI features will keep improving over time; the most important thing to get right is the hardware.The battery life can last around 18 hours and 40 minutes, according to Michelle's review (she watched YouTube videos the whole time). The main camera has a 50MP shooter, a 48MP ultra-wide camera with a 123-degree field of view, and a 48MP telephoto camera with a 30x Super Res Zoom.If you have the Pixel 8 Pro, you might not notice a huge upgrade to this version. However, if you're upgrading from an older version or doing a switch from a non-Pixel phone, the 9 Pro has a lot to love. One of my favorite things about Pixel phones is the ongoing support for many years. My Pixel 6A still gets all of the updates and tons of AI features that make the phone feel fresh many years later, with the latest ones dropping last month. With the Pixel 9 Pro, you'll be getting a quality phone with software updates for a while (as long as seven years).

After a more than two-year investigation, the Securities and Exchange Commission has sued Elon Musk over his delayed disclosure of the Twitter stock he amassed before announcing his intention to acquire the company in 2022.In a court filing, the SEC says that Musk filed paperwork with the SEC disclosing his purchase of Twitter shares 11 days after an SEC-mandated deadline to do so. (Federal law, as the SEC notes in its statement, requires investors to publicly report when they have acquired a more than 5 percent stake in a company.) This delay, according to the regulator, allowed Musk to buy up even more Twitter stock at a time when other investors were unaware of his involvement with the company.From the lawsuit:During the period that Musk was required to publicly disclose his beneficial ownership but had failed to do so, he spent more than $500 million purchasing additional shares of Twitter common stock. Because Musk failed to timely disclose his beneficial ownership, he was able to make these purchases from the unsuspecting public at artificially low prices, which did not yet reflect the undisclosed material information of Musks beneficial ownership of more than five percent of Twitter common stock and investment purpose. In total, Musk underpaid Twitter investors by more than $150 million for his purchases of Twitter common stock during this period. Investors who sold Twitter common stock during this period did so at artificially low prices and thus suffered substantial economic harm.The regulator has been investigating Musk for years, and has long been at odds with the owner of X. At one point, the SEC accused Musk of attempting to stall and use gamesmanship to delay its investigation into his investment in Twitter. Last month, Musk shared a copy of a letter addressed to SEC Chair Gary Gensler in which Musks lawyer, Alex Spiro, accused the regulator of six years of harassment targeting Musk. The letter indicated that Musk refused a settlement offer from the SEC related to its Twitter investigation.Musk also faced a class action lawsuit from other Twitter investors and an FTC probe related to the delayed disclosure. However, as The New York Times notes, its unclear if the SECs latest action will amount to much, as Gensler is expected to step down following the inauguration of President Donald Trump.X didnt immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement to The Times, Spiro called the SECs action a a single-count ticky-tack complaint," calling it an admission by the S.E.C. that they cannot bring an actual case."This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/sec-lawsuit-claims-musk-gained-over-150-million-by-delaying-twitter-stake-disclosure-002627091.html?src=rss

When Thtre Dopra Spatial, an AI-generated artwork, won first prize at a prestigious competition in 2022, the backlash was swift and visceral. For many in the art world, it wasnt just a controversial winnerit was a direct threat to the human essence of creativity. Generative AI was dismissed as a novelty at best and a cheap imitation at worst. The technology, in any capacity, it seemed, had no place in the sanctity of art.Now, one of the industrys most influential authorities is challenging that assumption. Art Basel, the leading global fair for modern and contemporary art, has made the deliberate decision to integrate AI into its flagship digital experience for its visitors and guests.The recently launched Art Basel app, designed to make its sprawling fairs more accessible and navigable, does more than introduce new AI-powered featuresit plants a stake in the ground. In an industry steeped in tradition and skepticism, Art Basels thoughtful adoption of AI challenges the notion that technology and art must exist at odds.Why now? A practical, not trend-driven, approachArt Basels move into AI isnt about following hypeits about meeting the moment. Artificial intelligence has matured to a point where it can address longstanding challenges in a meaningful way. For audiences navigating the expansive scale of Art Basels fairs, AI offers solutions that are practical, intuitive, and human-centered.The magnitude of our shows can be overwhelming, Alain Brusch, Art Basels global head of digital products told me, with visitors juggling dozens of exhibitions, off-site events, and logistical nuances. AI gives us tools to make our experience more seamless and enriching.As an app feature, Art Basel Companion, powered by Microsoft Copilot, addresses this by acting as a personalized guide. It helps attendees create tailored schedules, navigate exhibitions with ease, and discover recommendations based on their interests.For those eager to learn and engage, the Art Basel Lens feature allows users to scan artworks and instantly access detailed information about the artist and galleryits specifically designed to deepen connections and spark curiosity.Our goal is to create opportunities for discovery while preserving the essence of what makes art meaningful, says Brusch.What makes Art Basels approach different?Generative image toolswith their growing reputation for churning out endless AI slopoften face criticism for being reductive or soulless. But Art Basel is not using AI to generate artwork. Its strategy, by contrast, is additivefilling gaps in knowledge, improving access, and respecting the art worlds values. Art Basel is setting itself apart by focusing on what the technology can amplify, not replace.This distinction matters.The goal has always been to enhance what already exists, not replace it, Craig Hepburn, chief digital officer at Art Basel told me. Were creating opportunities for galleries, visitors, and even our own staff to engage more deeply with art, all while respecting its traditions.This ethos is embedded in every design choice. The brands flagship digital experience doesnt overwhelm users with information or assume a one-size-fits-all philosophy. Instead, it acts as a guide, meeting users where they are in their art journey.Preserve tradition while expanding reachBut the app itself isnt the storyits what the app represents. Art Basel is showing how AI can support the art ecosystem by addressing long-standing challenges like accessibility and engagement. For an industry grappling with its role in a digital age, this approach feels deliberate, even protective.We are committed to seeking out new ways to engage and positively impact our audiences and create new opportunities for artists, galleries, and the entire ecosystem through digital innovation, notes Brusch. I envision AI playing a significant role in transforming how people interact with art. I believe in its power to make art more accessible, breaking down geographical and cultural barriers. It can deliver personalized experiences that deepen connections with art and open opportunities for artists and galleries to reach broader, more engaged audiences.Art Basels stance on AI is clear: Tradition and technology can coexist. The goal isnt disruption for disruptions sake but finding ways to enhance human connection, allowing more people to access and appreciate art in ways that resonate with them. The challenge lies in evolving traditions thoughtfullyamplifying whats sacred while avoiding unnecessary competition with it.Navigate skepticism with transparencyIt should go without saying that skepticism is inevitable. AI has long been viewed as invasive in the art world, raising concerns about privacy, ethics, and the dilution of authenticity. Art Basel addresses these concerns head on by designing tools that enhance, rather than disrupt, the human connection to art.This approach toward AI adoption is intentionally transparent. Users know how their data is being used, and privacy safeguards are built into every interaction. These measures are part of Art Basels broader commitment to using technology responsibly and thoughtfully.Weve worked hard to design a product that feels intuitive and respectful, Hepburn says. When people see how thoughtfully AI can be usedhow it enhances rather than disruptsthey begin to understand its value.Redefine the future of artThe art world is at a crossroads. The question isnt whether AI belongsits how to use it to preserve and amplify what makes art essential. By focusing on accessibility and personalization, Art Basel offers a vision for how technology can enhance tradition without compromising it.Over the next decade, AIs potential to democratize art is enormous. It could break down barriers that have long limited who can access and appreciate creativity, from geographical constraints to cultural stigmas. Art Basels thoughtful integration challenges the industry to think bigger: to explore how AI can solve real problems, foster deeper connections, and expand arts reach.The insights you gain from conversational AI are invaluable, Hepburn shares. Its not just about logistics; its about learning more about the people engaging with art and using those insights to make the experience more meaningful for everyone.For a field so deeply rooted in human creativity, the stakes couldnt be higher. But the path forward is clear: The future of art lies not in choosing between tradition and innovation but in finding a balance that honors both.Peter Smart is chief experience officer and managing partner at Fantasy.

Baluchon is usually known for designing small tiny homes, however, the Ivy Tiny House is blessed with spaciousness and a unique upside-down layout which places the living room upstairs, and a bedroom downstairs. It is founded on a double-axle trailer with a maximum length of 26 feet. It is larger than the typical 20-foot-long French tiny homes we usually see. It is finished using heat-treated pine and black aluminum and features a timber terrace area that will be installed when the home is delivered.Designer: BaluchonThe tiny house offers two points of entry: a set of double glass doors and an adjacent single glass door. While the proximity of these entrances might initially seem unconventional, it is intended to be a strategic design choice to support the planned terrace once it is completed. This will improve the flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.Upon entering the home, visitors are greeted by a spacious, light-filled kitchen situated at the heart of the house. The well-designed kitchen features modern amenities, including an oven and a three-burner stove powered by propane, catering to a variety of cooking needs. It includes a fridge and freezer, as well as a dishwasher which is a rare yet luxurious inclusion for a tiny home in France. Adjacent to the kitchen area is a compact wood-burning stove designed to efficiently heat the entire home, ensuring a cozy and warm environment during colder months.The Ivy Tiny Homes living room is raised to the space where you usually see a bedroom. It can be accessed via a small staircase, and holds a sofa bed as well as a projection system, in place of a traditional TV. The ground floor accommodates the bathroom which spans over two rooms. You have the W.C. and the bathroom proper with a shower and a sink. A washer/dryer has been added as well. The bedroom is quite unusual as well. The childs bedroom is placed underneath the living room, and the entrance seems like a tight fit.The bedroom is like most lofts found in tiny homes. It features a low ceiling which creates a cozy and intimate space. The room features a comfortable double bed and some wardrobe space. The loft bedroom is designed to showcase the clever use of limited space, thereby balancing comfort and functionality to form a welcoming retreat for the parents. It serves as a comfortable and safe haven for the parents, offering them a space of their own.The post This Spacious Tiny Home Features An Unusual Upside-Down Layout first appeared on Yanko Design.
