‘Football Manager’ glitch lets fans buy expensive players at bargain prices

In order to get this glitch working, you need to offer 2.5million euros for the player, while also offering 10% of the money from the next transfer (which essentially means you’ll be paying 10% of whatever you end up selling the player for to their last club). You…

Umihara Kawase for SNES has legs under its bargain bin exterior

Umihara Kawase is a weird game to explain, but I’m going to try to anyway. It looks and sounds like an amateur production put out by some unknown publisher and created by some unknown developer, and maybe it is. But it’s also one of the best games on the Super Famicom. I first heard about it on GameCenter CX (season 5, episode 1), and that was around the time that the series was finally making it stateside with Yumi’s Odd Odyssey (Sayonara Umihara Kawase). I finally jumped into the series in 2020 with Umihara Kawase…

Google broke the law when it refused to bargain with YouTube Music contract workers, says NLRB.

The National Labor Relations Board ruled that Google’s refusal to bargain with a group of unionized YouTube Music contractors is illegal. The three-member panel decided that despite denials by Google, which owns YouTube Music, and its subcontractor Cognizant, the two are, in fact, joint employers of the Austin-based workers who perform data-related tasks, like finding errors in its charts algorithm. “At all material times, Respondents Cognizant and Google have codetermined the essential terms and conditions of employment…

Nature’s Genetic Bargain: More Kids, Fewer Years?

A comprehensive study confirms the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of aging, showing a genetic correlation between high reproduction and shorter lifespan. However, it highlights that environmental factors have a greater impact on modern human lifespan and reproductive behavior. New research supports the theory that genes promoting early reproduction may accelerate aging, but emphasizes the dominant role of environmental factors in determining lifespan and reproduction. A University of Michigan-led study based on a review…

Apple’s iPhone and Mac chip deal with Arm might be the bargain of the century

Devices like the iPhone 15 and MacBook Air use Apple-designed chips, built by TSMC, and they're fast. Very fast, especially for mobile chips that are designed to be performant while still sipping at battery power in ways that competing chips from companies like AMD, Qualcomm, and Intel have historically been unable to manage. The transition of the Mac away from Intel chips and towards Apple's own chips has been a resounding success. But none of that would have been possible without Arm, a British company bought by…
