it is my understanding that our sucky Assistance and Access Act, is fundamentally different, it compels developers provide back doors where it will not systemically undermine the system. To my understanding the UK one requests "breaking" e2ee in its entirely - which is why services like Signal were considering full exiting the region?

Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series and Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee
the money is drying up, gotta find new ways to monetise
If governments the world over were as obsessed with solving things like the climate crisis and cost of living as they are with undermining encryption techs, we'd be living in a utopia by now.
They tried this here in Australia, luckily for us it got voted down. Iirc there's been other countries trying the same BS
The video is from Paramount Plus, who don't currently have the rights to Prodigy, even though the parent company does. If they included it in their promotional material it would effect their ability to either sell those rights to someone else or write the show off for tax purposes.
It's convoluted and stupid, but running your streaming service as a separate entity is how all the studios have it rigged up. Accounting ftw
It's the 2015 from Back to the Future
Prodigy has been removed from Paramount Plus.
Technically yes they do own Star Trek, but the way the accounting works is they sell the broadcast/streaming rights back to themselves. It's a bit convoluted, but taking the rights away from their own service means CBS as a studio can either resell it to another broadcaster/streamer or failing that write it off for tax purposes.
It sucks, but all the studios rig it up this way
I was similar, almost monthly releases over the years kept me engaged.
I would add to those recommendations the Cold Equations Trilogy and if someone enjoys that, Mortal Coil (as a prequel to cold Equations) and The Light Fantastic as a sequel.
People who hate them have never driven them
Similarly if nvidia wanted me to buy their cards they'd get their drivers sorted out. While plugging in an amd card just works with literally no setup from me, nvidia will get no money from me
that diagram is amazing, needs to be updated for Coda tho - which would put lines everywhere...
