WWW.SCIENTIFICAMERICAN.COMWhat the Federal Court Decision on Net Neutrality Means for the InternetJanuary 21, 2025What Happens to the Open Internet without Net Neutrality?A U.S. federal court struck down the FCCs enforcement of net neutrality. What does that mean for Internet users? Anaissa Ruiz Tejada/Scientific AmericanSUBSCRIBE TO Science QuicklyApple | Spotify | RSSRachel Feltman: For Scientific Americans Science Quickly, Im Rachel Feltman. Earlier this month net neutrality was back in the news, thanks to a U.S. appeals court ruling. The decision stated that the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, didnt have the power to reinstate net neutrality ruleswhich the agency voted to do in April, with the encouragement of then-president Joe Biden.Net neutrality is one of those issues that Ive never quite fully wrapped my head around. So what is it, and what will happen now that the FCC cant enforce it? Here to explain everything for us is Ben Guarino, an associate technology editor at Scientific American.Ben, thanks for coming on to chat.On supporting science journalismIf you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award-winning journalism by subscribing. By purchasing a subscription you are helping to ensure the future of impactful stories about the discoveries and ideas shaping our world today.Ben Guarino: Thanks for having me.Feltman: This is a question I feel like I should be able to answer by now, but I cant: What is net neutrality?Guarino: So in the simplest terms, net neutrality is this idea that all Internet traffic should be treated equally. So if I am trying to access YouTube or Netflix or Hulu or really anything, my Internet service provider, my ISP, is going to treat all of those data packets coming from those websites like theyd be coming from any other websiteFeltman: So why are we hearing about net neutrality in the news? Whats been going on with it?Guarino: There has been a huge debate over whether net neutrality should exist in the United States. The Internet service providers, Well, if you put these regulations on us, its going to stifle competition. It is against the American ideals of capitalism.And then you have consumers and Internet advocates and people who cherish the idea of the open Internet that really gets to the founding ideals of what the Internet should beit should be free; it should be for the flow of informationthat say, We should, we should hold ourselves to net neutrality.And so it boils down to who should be regulating it. And the courts recently decided that the Federal Communications Commission cannot treat the Internet with net neutrality principles.Feltman: Interesting. Whats next? What does that mean for people who are pushing for a free and open Internet?Guarino: So if the FCC does not have the ability to regulate ISPs like a telecommunication servicethat means that these services have to act in the public interest, which has higher standards that they have to be held toif the FCC isnt the one that can enforce these net neutrality principles, then its in Congresss hands or its in the states hands.Feltman: Okay, is this good news or bad news for the open Internet?Guarino: Its bad news for the people who advocate for the open Internet. So if theres no federal oversight of net neutrality, what we have now are the state laws that support net neutrality. And these are on the books in lots of placesin Washington state, in Oregon, in Californiaand it had kinda looked like maybe they werent really being enforced because the thinking was, Well, if theres federal oversight of net neutrality, maybe we dont have to worry about our own states. Now that equation changes a little bit.And the thing with the Internet is [laughs] its all connected, right? So you cantthe, the borders of the Internet dont stop in California, so if California has net neutrality laws on the books, there is some thinking there that, Well, if ISPs in California are beholden to these laws, theyll just follow them everywhere. So that could be a silver lining for folks who want to see the principles of the open Internet upheld.Feltman: And from the perspective of the ISPs, whats limiting about net neutrality? What are they trying to do, hoping to do that this sort of free and open Internet wont allow them to do?Guarino: So the theory goes that if I can treat one data packet differently from another data packet, I could slow your traffic to Netflix. Maybe I have a competitor streaming serviceand I should back up a second: we talk about net neutrality a lot in terms of video streaming because its data intensive and, like, something like two thirds of Internet traffic is video streaming, so thats why, thats why net neutrality and video services tend to go hand in hand. But if I am an Internet service provider and maybe I have a competitor website to Netflix or Hulu ...Feltman: Mm-hmm.Guarino: And I want to have more people use my service, then I can slow their connection to Netflix and maybe shunt them towards my competitor. Or I can say, Hey, Netflix, you guys have to pay me a little bit more if you wanna keep this fast connection. And, you know, the concern there is: that bump in price that, that Netflix has to pay, that gets passed on to the consumer.Feltman: Yeah, and whats the, like, worst-case scenario there? I think in a lot of conversations about net neutrality, the implication is that its this, like, slippery slope thats gonna fundamentally change the Internet. Whats the, the radically different Internet that people are worried were gonna find our way into?Guarino: Thats a really good question. What I can say is, having talked to researchers like David Choffnes at Northeastern University, who studies what we would consider net neutrality violationsso hes looked at how traffic that appears to go from my computer, lets say, or my phone to Netflix and how ISPs in the United States treat that, and it turns out that whether or not the FCC had net neutrality policies on the books, whether states had their own net neutrality laws didnt really matter in the United States. This study has been going on when we had FCC oversight, we havent had FCC oversight, we had FCC oversight again, and now we, we dont, soDavid told me hes seen it all, and basically it [laughs], it doesnt really matter.David and his colleagues have seen, studying this since 2017, that your fixed cable Internet, theres no net neutrality violations there in the United Statesthat, that they, they arent blocking or throttling traffic. But what they have found is, for certain users on certain data plans, that wireless providers have throttled some connections. And the thinking there is, historically, the spectrum was limited, connecting to cell towers and things like that, so maybe when everybodys commuting home at 5 oclock that theyre all requesting to watch Netflix on the subway or something, and it made sense to throttle that.Now, if you go into a cell phone store, folks will tout their super-fast ...Feltman: Sure.Guarino: 5G network things, so maybe that spectrum argument no longer holds water. But if theyve done it historically, maybe theyd do it again. So all of that is to say, in the short term I dont know that American consumers will really notice a difference. In the long term maybe the price of your Hulu or Netflix subscription jacks up a little.Feltman: Sure, and with so many giant conglomerates owning so many different types of media and telecommunications companies, its not outside the realm of possibility that an ISP could also own some of the content youre watching versus [laughs] other content, so, yeah, for sure.Guarino: Maybe the only thing to note is: this has been going on for a really long time [laughs] ...Feltman: Yeah.Guarino: The phrase net neutrality was coined by a Columbia legal scholar in 2003. So people have been thinking about this for a really long time, and it justthis debate has gone onyou know, even, even before it was coined, even before we had the term net neutrality, people have been thinking about the principles of the open Internet. So this certainly isnt the end of net neutrality; even though its out of the FCCs hands for the foreseeable future, this doesnt mean that net neutrality is lost.Feltman: Ben, thanks so much for explaining net neutrality to me. I finally understand it, and hopefully the Internet stays relatively free and open for the foreseeable future.Guarino: Sounds great. Thanks for having me.Feltman: [Laughs]Thats all for todays episode. While youre here, do us a favor and leave us a quick rating, review or comment wherever youre listening.

WWW.EUROGAMER.NETSega announces new Sega Account, sparking speculation over Super GameSega announces new Sega Account, sparking speculation over Super GameWith Pirate Yakuza costume bonus.Image credit: Sega News by Ed Nightingale Deputy News Editor Published on Jan. 22, 2025 Sega has launched a new Sega Account, linking together its games and services.The online profile "gives you access to a host of benefits when playing Sega and Atlus titles and using their online services", said Sega. Account holders will receive news about games, events and promotions, as well as bonus content.The first bonus will be a Kazuma Kiryu special outfit in the forthcoming Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, due for release on 20th February 2025."New Virtua Fighter Project" pre-development concept videoWatch on YouTubeAnother feature, coming soon, will be the ability to look at records for the games played (presumably a bit like the end of year data reports from PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox).There are also bonus items for Phantom Star Online New Genesis once the account is linked.So why has Sega chosen to launch this now?Fans are speculating this Sega Account could be linked to its forthcoming Super Game, first revealed in a financial report in October 2022.In that report, Sega noted its plans to lean on existing and past IPs in the future. "One strategy for generating such hit titles is the creation of a 'Super Game' - a large-scale global title. We're currently developing such a game, targeting release by the fiscal year ending March 2026," said Sega CEO Haruki Satomi.Could this Super Game use the Sega Account as an all-encompassing entry point to its games? One user on X has speculated the Super Game will be more of a platform containing multiple Sega games.Indeed, the company announced five game projects at The Game Awards in 2023 based on classic franchises: Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage. Could these eventually be linked into a Super Game using the Sega Account?In an interview with Eurogamer, Sega president and COO Shuji Utsumi described a return to Sega's "rock & roll" past by reinvesting in classic franchises."Sega had that kind of style [back then]," said Utsumi. "Sega's position was like, 'If you have attitude, Sega's the company for you, rather than Nintendo', because of the games, because of the style, because of coolness or the kind of attitude. We have such beautiful content value in Sega, and some other IPs, so we're trying to revive it with a little bit of the flavour of hip-hop now."Sega is also working on a new Virtua Fighter game, the first for 18 years.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 141 Vue

Ranging from remastering popular multiplayer maps to re-introducing iconic weaponry into the ever-expanding arsenal, taking a trip down memory lane guarantees to attract attention on the latest annual release and Warzone.Ahead of the Season 2 update for Black Ops 6 and the battle royale, Activision has showcased the artwork to mark the occasion. Eagle-eyed fans have managed to spot two iconic weapons as Activision doubles down on steadying the ship after a turbulent few months.Call of Duty Season 2 is heavy with nostalgiaOn January 21, 2025, the Call of Duty X account uploaded images of the new playable Operators while they hold a wealth of new weaponry.Alongside the Katana melee weapon, another soldier is holding the iconic PPSh submachine gun which was uncovered from the in-game files. Next to them is an Operator holding the FAL assault rifle, one of the strongest weapons from Black Ops 2.Armed with a semi-automatic firing mechanism, the FAL dominated the casual and competitive meta in the early stages of the Black Ops 2 cycle before Treyarch dished out a hefty nerf to level the playing field.Its not just multiplayer where the PPSh and the FAL thrived.

WWW.CBSNEWS.COMTrump pardons Silk Road founder Ross UlbrichtPoliticsTrump pardons Silk Road founder Ross UlbrichtDangerous Journey on the Silk Road President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, an underground website that the FBI once called "the most sophisticated and extensive criminal marketplace on the internet."Ulbricht wassentenced to life in prison in 2015.Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social, his social media site, that he had spoken to Ulbricht's mother on his first full day in office."It was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross," he wrote. "The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me."He called Ulbricht's prison sentence "ridiculous."During the campaign, he had promised to help Ulbricht in a speech at the Libertarian Party National Convention last May.Libertarian activists, who generally oppose criminal drug policies, have long believed that government investigators overreached in building their case against Silk Road. Many held "Free Ross" signs.Members of the Libertarian Party hold signs demanding the release of Ross Ulbricht during the party's national convention on May 25, 2024 in Washington, D.C. / Getty Images The Silk Road site was set up by Ulbricht in 2011 on the dark web, a part of the internet that's inaccessible to traditional search engines. It did not accept cash or credit cards; users had to pay with cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin. All transactions were encrypted and hence untraceable.It became a place for people to buy and sell illicit drugs, weapons, poisons, and services such as computer hacking."Silk Road was the Amazon of drug sites," former FBI Special Agent Milan Patel said in an interview for the CBS News series "FBI Declassified.""We saw murder-for-hire postings, hacking-for-hire postings, which was, 'hey, pay me two bitcoin and I'll hack into your ex-wife or ex-husband's email account,'" Patel said. "It was totally anonymous. And you could never trace it back to the person who asked for it."Ulbricht ran the site until his arrest in 2013, when it was seized by the FBI. During his trial, prosecutors said at least six deaths were traced to overdoses from drugs bought on Silk Road. They alleged that Ulbricht collected $18 million through commissions on tens of thousands of drug sales, and presented evidence alleging he sought to have people killed for threatening his business.Since Mr. Trump assumed office, he has also pardoned about 1,500 defendants convicted in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.More from CBS NewsIn: Donald Trump0 Commentaires 0 Parts 151 Vue

WWW.VG247.COMNetflix just hit a new record of 300 million subscribers, so isn't it just lovely that it's raising its prices for the umpteenth time?Bump In The RoadNetflix just hit a new record of 300 million subscribers, so isn't it just lovely that it's raising its prices for the umpteenth time?Starting to feel like the value for the cost isn't quite what it used to be.Image credit: Netflix News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Jan. 22, 2025 Netflix has some good news for you: it just hit 300 million subscribers! And, uh, yeah, it's also going to be charging you even more again.Remember how part of the reason that streaming services like Netflix took off was because they offered all the shows you would be watching anyway, at a fraction of the price of cable? Some of you honestly might be too young to, but it's true, streamers didn't used to rip you off so much. But here we are, with Netflix's latest earnings report, which, quite notably for it, shared that it has reached 300 million subscribers globally, the highest number it has ever reached. I'm sure this makes stockholders happy, but even with this continued growth, Netflix did also announce that it will be raising the cost of several of its plans for the umpteenth time, which is just getting a bit boring now, honestly.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. "As we continue to invest in programming and deliver more value for our members, we will occasionally ask our members to pay a little more so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix," explains the company's letter to investors. What this means for you, the you that's based in the US, is that the ad-supported tier will be going up from $6.99 to $7.99 a month, the standard ad-free tier will go from $15.49 to $17.99, and perhaps most egregious of all, the most expensive premium tier is going up from $22.99 to $24.99. Those numbers do add up from month to month! It should also be noted that Canada, Portugal, and Argentina will also be seeing price increases too, but other territories seem safe for now.It's obviously a bit obscene that Netflix is raising its prices again, and I'm sure we can expect that in other territories too eventually, but I guess if you're particularly desperate to see how Squid Game wraps up there's not exactly much you can do.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 141 Vue

WWW.VG247.COMBloodborne PC emulation is now good enough that even everyone's favourite tech nerds think it "demonstrates the direction we'd want an official remaster to move in"Close Enough, Right?Bloodborne PC emulation is now good enough that even everyone's favourite tech nerds think it "demonstrates the direction we'd want an official remaster to move in"Things are looking "very encouraging" for DIY efforts bring the game people keep begging for a proper PC port of to PC.Image credit: FromSoftware/Fromsoftserve News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on Jan. 22, 2025 Something, something, Bloodborne remaster/PC port. Everyone and their FromSoft-loving grandmother wants one, but we've nopt gotten one yet, for reasons numerous people - including Miyazaki - have alluded to or suggested. The good news is that DIY efforts to bring the game to personal computers in a fashion that doesn't crash more often than a Bandicoot are coming on leaps and bounds.They're doing so well, in fact, that even folks who literally make a living out of analysing frame-rate read-outs and other performance-related stuff think that enough strides have been made that emulated Bloodborne with the addition of some mods "demonstrates the direction we'd want an official remaster to move in".To see this content please enable targeting cookies. One of the nerds in question, Digital Foundry's Thomas Morgan, has recently taken the latest version of Bloodborne emulated on PC by the ShadPS4 tool for a spin to test out whether it's something you can properly play, rather than just a thing that's good for 30 second clips you can post to Twitter with a caption like 'BlOODborne RemaSTER iN 2025 looks BEAUtiful omg'.The answer's a yes as of ShadPS4's version 0.5.1, with a few caveats and/or teething troubles that will need to be ironed out. Morgan reports being able to run the emulated game at a pretty stable 60-ish FPS - something a lot of people would be looking for in a remaster of it - most of the time. Though, did apparently have "sporadic lurches down to the mid-forties" while battling a bunch of enemies in Yharnam's town square, either when first hitting a baddie, or running through that bit of the world.Watch on YouTubeOverall, though, the verdict on the ShadPS4 version, with added mods like FromSoftserve's popular 'Bloodborne PC Remaster Project', with the latter having just gotten a big new update, is pretty positive for those of us just looking to be able to play the thing on PC."There are imperfections with Bloodborne's emulation on PC today, and there are outstanding crashes, but the state of it right now is still very encouraging," Morgan concluded, "At the very least, it demonstrates the direction we'd want an official remaster to move in."So, still work to do, but at least it's humming along nicely and constantly getting better, as folks no doubt use working on these kind of things as an outlet to help them not end up just endlessly replying to FromSoft tweets tearfully begging for a proper PC port.Don't worry, I'm sure your persistence is bound to pay off eventually.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 136 Vue
