Au beau milieu des annonces du Non-E3, les développeurs russes du PIONER, un MMO FPS très inspiré de S.T.A.L.K.E.R., ont pensé que c’était une bonne idée de sortir une nouvelle vidéo pour détailler leur jeu. Pour rappel, il est en développement depuis 2017 et devait initialement sorti en accès anticipé en 2021 ou 2022. Depuis, on nous avait promis des phases de tests tous les ans sans jamais qu’on les voit arriver. Si la direction artistique et le gunplay semblent vraiment réussis, c’est tout l’aspect décrit comme un MMO, avec des quêtes et des donjons, qui nous avait un peu refroidis. Mais ils avaient aussi expliqué que les joueurs voulant rester en PVE pourraient tout à fait trouver leur compte.
Dans cette vidéo, un narrateur nous explique ce qui est prévu. Il s’attarde notamment sur le fait que contrairement à des jeux comme Gray Zone Warfare, dans lesquels l’univers PVE et PVP sont deux versions d’un même monde, dans PIONER, les zones ne seront séparées géographiquement, et le matériel de haut niveau ne sera trouvable que dans les zones PVP, également peuplées d’une faune plus dangereuse. Sinon, ils nous montrent un peu plus l’arbre de compétences, qui s’apparente à un RPG classique, et semblent fiers de présenter des PNJ qui racontent leur vie. Ces images font toujours énormément penser à S.T.A.L.K.E.R., puisqu’on y voit des anomalies, des monstres et des armes soviétiques. La vidéo se termine en nous donnant rendez-vous pour l’année prochaine, sans doute pour enfin, le lancement de l’accès anticipé.
En attendant, on ne sait toujours pas précisément sur quelle plateforme PIONER sortira, mais le site officiel parle d’une sortie sur la console de Sony et celle de Microsoft, en plus du PC. A priori, il sera donc au moins disponible sur le store Xbox.
According to The Verge, Best Buy conducted another round of layoffs and job restructurings to "right size" the business in response to declining sales post-pandemic. Further layoffs and changes are expected throughout the year. From the report: The layoffs appeared to have mostly targeted in-home sales roles called designers, who would go to customers' homes to help identify products that would work in their space. It's not clear how many were let go, but designers who weren't laid off have been moved into a different, largely in-store role. Also, pay scales for a similar, existing in-store "consultant" position were revamped. Best Buy confirmed the layoffs in an email to The Verge but declined to share how many people were let go or how pay was changing. "Many of our team members were moved to new areas or roles where our customers need it most," Best Buy spokesperson Ryan Furlong told The Verge. He said some employees in Best Buy's "Design and Consult workforce" -- the collection of roles with in-store workers (called consultants) and in-home field sales positions (called designers) -- will be transitioned into a new "Premium Designer role."
Best Buy has been drastically restructuring in recent months, responding to factors like falling sales after the pandemic spiked consumer electronics spending. Best Buy CEO Corie Barry told investors in February that they should expect layoffs this year, and two months ago, mass layoffs of Geek Squad employees were reported. Barry repeated similar things during the company's first quarter earnings call in May, saying that many of Best Buy's moves to "right size" its business "are being implemented throughout this year."
Le président du Rassemblement national, désireux d’apparaître « raisonnable » sur le plan économique, a affirmé qu’« il faudra faire des choix », en cas de victoire de sa formation aux élections législatives. Le retour à la retraite à 60 ans, promis de longue date par le parti d’extrême droite, ne fera pas partie des priorités, assure-t-il.

Brazil's government is partnering with OpenAI to use AI for expediting the screening and analysis of thousands of lawsuits to reduce costly court losses impacting the federal budget. Reuters reports: The AI service will flag to government the need to act on lawsuits before final decisions, mapping trends and potential action areas for the solicitor general's office (AGU). AGU told Reuters that Microsoft would provide the artificial intelligence services from ChatGPT creator OpenAI through its Azure cloud-computing platform. It did not say how much Brazil will pay for the services. AGU said the AI project would not replace the work of its members and employees. "It will help them gain efficiency and accuracy, with all activities fully supervised by humans," it said.
Court-ordered debt payments have consumed a growing share of Brazil's federal budget. The government estimated it would spend 70.7 billion reais ($13.2 billion) next year on judicial decisions where it can no longer appeal. The figure does not include small-value claims, which historically amount to around 30 billion reais annually. The combined amount of over 100 billion reais represents a sharp increase from 37.3 billion reais in 2015. It is equivalent to about 1% of gross domestic product, or 15% more than the government expects to spend on unemployment insurance and wage bonuses to low-income workers next year. AGU did not provide a reason for Brazil's rising court costs.
New York has launched its mobile ID program, "giving residents the option to digitize their driver's license or non-driver ID," reports The Verge. From the report: Beginning today, the New York Mobile ID app is available from Apple's App Store and Google Play. The app can be used for identity verification at airports. A physical license, permit, or non-driver ID is required to activate a mobile ID; you'll need to take a photo of the front and back with your phone during the enrollment process. The news was announced during a media briefing at LaGuardia Airport on Tuesday that included New York's and Transportation Security Administration federal security director Robert Duffy, among other speakers. Their pitch is that mobile IDs "will revolutionize the way New Yorkers protect their identities and will significantly enhance the way they get through security at airports across the nation." State officials are also emphasizing that it's a voluntary option meant for convenience.
"When you offer your mobile ID to TSA or anyone else who accepts it, you are in full control of sharing that information. They can only see the information they request to see," Schroeder said. "If you only need to prove your age, you can withhold other information that a verifier doesn't need to see." The app is designed so that your phone remains in your possession at all times -- you should never freely hand a device over to law enforcement -- and shows a QR code that can be scanned to verify your identity. Any changes to your license status such as renewals or suspensions are automatically pushed to the mobile version, and the digital ID also mirrors data like whether you're an organ donor.
For now, acceptance of mobile IDs by businesses (and the police) is completely voluntary -- and there's no deadline in place for compliance -- so it's definitely too soon to start leaving your physical one at home. But bars and other small businesses can start accepting them immediately if they install the state's verifier app. The New York Mobile ID app can be used "at nearly 30 participating airports across the country including all terminals at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy airports," according to a press release from Governor Kathy Hochul. New York joins a small list of states that have rolled out mobile driver's licenses, including Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, and Utah.
