Now the spice, erm, trade can flow.

Now I need to find somewhere to use it before 6 April so that I can get bonus Discovery Miles so that I can get some Steam credit through Vitality - it’s a whole circular economy thing… 
Anyone have any places that accept Apple Pay from South Africans yet?
(I wonder if I can use Apple Pay on Steam? That would complete my circle nicely.)

More “rumour” than “news” at the moment, but now seen it mentioned in at least three different places - including here on Charlie Intel, which is generally reliable when it comes to COD and BF info - so there just might be something to it…

Like you said, “big if true”. If it does release on Game Pass I’m sure it will only be on console and not PC like Outriders did.

Microsoft has been out shopping again. This time it’s the acquisition of voice recognition company Nuance for $19.7 billion, and a push into the health technology space. Nuance had already partnered with MS to use their technology to help develop AI for doctor’s visits.

And I bet they talk about it like any other kind of transaction. Oh, it’s only 19 BILLION.

Another blow for Amazon Game Studios. A contract dispute with Tencent and with a flash of light from Gandalf’s staff it disappears.

I"m guessing the series is still going ahead though

Far as I can tell it is. Principal filming for the first season of eight episodes has been done, a second season has been ordered, and many millions of Amazon’s seemingly bottomless barrel of cash has been spent. The series tie-in interactive map is also still live and available on the Prime Video sub-site.

I’m still not sure we need this - for me Jackson’s LoTR trilogy was pretty much perfect (Hobbit not so much).

So much history has gone up in smoke in a suspected vagrants fire…
Mostert se Meul is gone. The Library and so many other buildings.
This is crazy. A fire at charlotte maxeke hospital and at UCT! And the library? No this isn’t right. I don’t even like it when people highight in books.

Somehow I suspect they will just not launch here. And I wouldn’t let any locals in if I were Musk, just to be safe. We don’t exactly have high standards for internet. The nice thing about Starlink would be they would bypass our infrastructure here (afaik).
