There isn’t a Techlinked suggestion thread, o posting here.
 
I know that Jon now works part time and remotely, but thought it would be cool if Jon remotes in to co-host and episode of “TalkLinked” with Riley or was brought on as a guest for the WAN Show where he uses his law background to give his take on the Epic v. Apple lawsuit. Thought that would be cool.

Originally was going to post in tech news section, but I realized this was not explicit tech news. This is why it is formatted like a tech news topic. (Mods, if you think it does qualify as tech news, plz move it there)
 
Summary
In its second high profile ban on the platform, Twitch has temporarily banned the United States President Donald Trump's account this morning, citing his account was banned for "hateful content." This is the second high profile account to receive a punishment from Twitch, following up on the recent permanent ban of high profile streaming Dr Disrespect's channel. Right now, it is unclear how long the temporary ban will be in effect.

My thoughts
Last week, Twitch said it was going to start seriously cracking down on harassment, misconduct, and general violations of their community guidelines after numerous reports of harassment on the platform started surfacing. Another big takeaway is that Twitch is the first big social media platform to issue a punishment to United States President Donald Trump. Other social media platforms, Twitter for example, have flagged some of the President's content in the past and have also stated that they would ban his account if it comes to it. Twitch is the first platform to do such.
 
This is a very new report. Please let me know of any updates and or inaccuracies so I can update the topic!

Moderators, please lock this if you think the discussion could get out of hand. I think this topic is within our community guidelines, as long as the discussion remains appropriate, but please lock it and let me know if one of you disagree.

I think it was made easier and they were waiting to see if other platforms (eg twitter, facebook, youtube) would act first. No tech company wants to be the first one to censor something in case it causes their user base to revolt.

Summary
Microsoft announces Friday morning that it intend to close all of it's physical retail locations. The exception is their stores on its Redmond campus, New York City, Sydney, and London. The company stated that it plans to turn those retail locations into "experience centers." Microsoft has not announces plans as to what those "experience centers" will look like except for the fact that they will not sell products. Microsoft said in their press release that the plans to do this were already in place to do this for next year, the COVID-19 pandemic just accelerated those plans. A source from Microsoft says that no layoffs will result from this decision as many off their retail staffs jobs were already shifted to remote jobs once the pandemic started. It seems like this announcement is effective immediately and that Microsoft does not plan to reopen any store after the pandemic settles.

It hasn't been a great To be honest, I'm not really surprised by this announcement. I've always wondered how successful their retail stores actually are every time I walked by one of them. The main reason is because every Microsoft retail store I walked by was planted directly across from an Apple retail location. Every time I looked at the crowd of people in each store, the crowd in an Apple store dwarfed the crowd in the Microsoft store by comparison. For anyone who had shopped or walked around in both an Apple and Microsoft retail location, it is obvious that Microsoft was trying to create a store front and shopping experience similar to Apple's. I don't know if there was any strategy that would have made their stores successful considering they were putting themselves against Apple's retail presence, but Microsoft's store's "showrooms" always felt more disorganized and jumbled compared to (admittedly) Apple's well organized stores. To me, I saw this announcement coming eventually and I am curious to see what these "experience centers" will look like.

This news is pretty short.
Back in 2019, Felix singed an exclusive live streaming deal with dlive.tv where he was able to amass a following of 822k followers. However, his last live stream on that platform was over 4 moths ago.
Now, news has come out that he has signed an exclusive live streaming deal to return to Youtube for all of his live content. Felix said in a statement that
Felix also said that returning to YouTube just felt like a "natural fit" given he's been on the platform for 10 years.
 
Unsurprisingly, some articles (particularly those published by more "mainstream" press) bring attention to his past controversies that everyone is well aware of. Some articles, particularly the Forbes article, claim that Felix has not suffered any real consequences for his slip-ups and mistakes. The Forbes article writes how this new deal has
 
This is a very touchy topic that I am treading on. I feel like it is appropriate to mention that I am not affiliated with any of the groups of people that Felix's past comments were targeted towards and I have been a fan of Felix's content for many years now. However, I think it is inaccurate to say he didn't suffer any consequences, and I do not think this deal makes all of his past mistakes treated like no big deal.
 
That is my personal opinion. What are you guys' thoughts?
 
 

I have never read a single article about him and I am not about to start now.  I will call him whatever the fuck I want if I believe that is what he is from watching his content. 
 
 

What's the deal with that news source title & contents doe? 
 
Journalist : Alright , lets post the news titled "Pewdiepie gets a new exclusive streaming deal with Youtube"
Publisher : Nah people wont be interested in clicking that lets title it as "pewdiepie signs deal with youtube despite history of racist anti semitic comments"
 
I got a title idea too  "Mainstream news organizations keeps posting NEWS articles under the guise of journalism despite the history of being caught framing unconfirmed information falsely to defame & discredit people they don't politically align with & posting multiple fake news & deliberately posting false propaganda narrative contents"  it's a long title, but you ought to click it lol.

im more amazed that YouTube is actually paying someone other than people like jimmy falon, celebraties and such

Inb4 "racist!!!"
 
I've noticed an unusual amount of people on the forum buy into the PewDiePie racism narratives, which is pretty astonishing given the tech and social media awareness of the general user of this forum

Yet they won't monetize his videos. Also the people who call him a racist or antisemitic or anything of that nature have never watched his videos and simply read clickbait news articles written about him

****UPDATE****
 
Crytek officially announced on April 16 that "Crysis Remastered will be coming to PC, Xbox, PlayStation and (surprisingly) Nintendo Switch.

When Crytek updated crysis.com to feature a fresh and flashy new rendition of Nomad, fans of Crysis trilogy of games were excited of the prospect of a potential remaster of the acclaimed original Crysis game. Then, their hopes were quickly extinguished when people realized the update came on April 1st and an "April Fool" tag was found in the website's source code.
 
Now, 2 weeks out of April Fools, it is starting to look like this wasn't a joke at all. The "@Crysis" twitter handle, whose last tweet before yesterday was way back on December 13, 2016, has come alive with two new tweets.
 
 
 
 
 
 
From PC Gamer:
This follows up on a trailer released a month ago by Crytek that showcased a decade of its game engine, "CryEngine." 
From Eurogamer:
 
All of these small hints seem to point toward a remastered version of the original Crysis. Like the PC Gamer article pointed out, since E3 is cancelled this year, it is not surprising to see game announcements beginning to appear at this time...
 
 
The original Crysis was well known for pushing the limits of PC hardware at the time and being notoriously difficult to run. As a result, gaming companies have been responding to this news in very clever ways:
