As part of The Game Awards, The PS Store is hosting a Demo Festival that appears to bring a number of pre-release testers to PS5 users. At the time of this writing, the tab on the PS Store only has two demos. The Mountain King and You Suck at Parking are for Bramble. The list should, however, expand given that a Forspoken demo is currently all but guaranteed.

Although neither listing currently mentions an expiration date, given that the promotion is connected to The Game Awards, it’s possible that they will do so sooner rather than later. The deals in a new PS Store sale that coincides with Geoff Keighley’s program are available through December 12th, 2022.

If any other demos are released, we’ll update this post. What game do you hope to start first?

Elon Musk announced in a tweet that Tesla is opening up its so-called full self-driving (FSD) beta to anyone who has paid for it after gradually opening it up over the past few years. In North America, he added, “Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta is now available to anyone who requests it from the car screen, assuming you have purchased this option.”

With automated features like automated city steering, automatic parking, smart vehicle summoning, and traffic light/stop sign recognition, FSD builds on Tesla’s “Autopilot” driver-assist feature. The feature is a paid upgrade that costs $15,000 after a $3,000 price increase in September.

Congrats to Tesla Autopilot/AI team on achieving a major milestone!

Tesla initially stated that it would introduce fully autonomous driving features in 2018, but they didn’t actually do so until July 2021, to a select group of “careful and expert drivers.” The version 9.0 beta saw a wider release, but testers could only participate in an early access program. Tesla removed the requirements for at least 100 Autopilot miles and an 80 safety score on the most recent FSD release, so now anyone can get it.

However, Tesla is widely implementing FSD at a time when regulators are closely monitoring it. In a recent expansion of its investigation into a string of Tesla crashes involving first responders, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now looking at most models. It is also looking into more than 30 incidents involving Autopilot in a separate investigation.

Musk has long promised fully autonomous vehicles without a human driver. Most recently, he said he believed it might come this year, but in Tesla’s most recent earnings report, he backtracked on those statements. Following Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, the price of Tesla’s stock has been falling precipitously recently.

According to a video posted on social media, riots broke out on Wednesday at the biggest iPhone plant in the world in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou.
Hundreds of Foxconn employees are shown protesting, squabbling with police, and in some videos that have gone viral online, being approached by hazmat suit-clad individuals.

Workers were shown on camera griping about the meals they were given and objecting that their promised bonuses had not been given to them.

With almost 200,000 employees, the Zhengzhou facility is Foxconn’s largest iPhone manufacturing facility. Around 70% of Apple’s iPhones are assembled by Foxconn, which has had trouble keeping staff members on the job because of COVID lockdowns.

Due to Zhengzhou’s COVID outbreak and China’s zero-COVID policy, which forces cities to quickly contain outbreaks through restrictions, workers have been wishing to leave in order to avoid being stranded at work should a more tight lockdown be implemented.

Additionally, constraints at the workplace, like the dine-in cafeteria’s shutdown, and a supply deficit that resulted in a panic have angered the workers.

Production of the iPhone could decrease by as much as 30% due to labor concerns at the Zhengzhou facility. By providing bonuses and increasing output at a different facility in Shenzhen, Foxconn has tried to address the supply concerns; nonetheless, employees at the Zhengzhou plant have accused the company of failing to uphold contractual obligations.

“We were unable to receive the subsidies as they had promised because they modified the contract. They place us in quarantine but don’t provide us food, “explained a Foxconn employee in a video that was posted online. “We’ll keep fighting if they don’t take our needs into account.”
