Each month we’re posing six pub quiz style questions, with a different subject each month. As always, they’re designed to be difficult, but it is unlikely everyone will know all the answers – so have a bit of fun.

For several years Sony had offered a free “External Monitor” app that let you use select Xperia-branded phones as an external display for some of the company’s high-end cameras. The Xperia 1 VII originally shipped without that feature, but now you can use the phone as camera display… if you pay at least $5 per month or $50 per year for a subscription.
Not only that, but for older phones that had these features for free, with the new version of the app, some features are locked behind subscription:
But on August 28, 2025, Sony announced an update that “expanded paid plan lineup for greater flexibility.” That flexibility locks a few key features behind a paywall, including: ...

He has to do it. Russia's biggest export earner is fossil fuel, and they can't turn a profit unless the prices are high on the international markets. Also, their grey fleet is increasingly being blocked from evading sanctions, and their export infrastructure has been getting blown up by Ukraine. So they need every penny they can get. And Trump is Putin's bitch, so he attacks renewables, which free countries from the fossil-fuel dependency that gives assholes like Putin and the Gulf despots so much leverage on Western economies.
I honestly think it's dumber than that - I think he's still salty about wind farms being put up outside his golf course in Scotland and is taking his petty revenge on the world

Just more than four months after being arrested, detained and nearly deported by the Trump administration for his activism, Mohsen Mahdawi, the 34-year-old Palestinian student and US permanent resident, returned to Columbia University on Tuesday and vowed to continue speaking out.
“They have failed to silence me, and in fact, now I am more outspoken than before, and I will continue to work for peace and justice. I do this work not for myself alone – I do this for the future of children, whether they are Palestinians or Israelis,” he told the Guardian on Tuesday in his first interview since stepping back on to campus to begin his graduate studies.

There is a full report that covers all the events leading up to and post and it does not conclude that they let it happen.
Are we sure that Oct 7th was even done by Hamas? I saw a unsourced clip on twitter that said it was Mossad who orchestrated and executed it. It may as well have been since most of the deaths were caused by IDF anyway. I'm joking but I swear there are to many people on lemmy who genuinely believe that.
The biggest irony is that if you bothered to actually read the article you would know that the article is based on the IDF own internal investigation and not the PR report "leaked" to the public. Your blind finger pointing to "them" just shows your own ignorance.
SCO members condemned unilateral punitive measures and bullying tactics adopted by the Western states and called for enhanced cooperation among the countries of the Global South.

so won’t need to order the shutdown of any plants for a second year running
Absolute idiots in our government. "We overachieved, so lets stop doing anything until we are behind schedule again." My guy, we are already loooong behind schedule on climate change, just keep going. Fucking idiots.
some large lignite-burning plants that are connected to mining operations have been given more time to shut down to mitigate job losses
Those mining operations barely employ any real amount of people at this point. You can easily just pay those people with tax money for a transfer period and it would still save money for the taxpayer overall.
They sure are able to use arithmetics. After all Stanislaw Tillich who negotiate the German coal exit got a board job on the lignite company MIBRAG sooner after leaving politics.
With the launch of Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict over the weekend, we've been keeping a close eye on feedback and issues that have been arising (along with the Abyssal).
We've released 13 Hotfixes since launch and are currently working on the 0.3.0b patch, which will fix a lot of outstanding issues including the Warbringer's totem Ascendancy Notable. We expect to release it by the end of the week.
Here are some highlights from the patch:
Rise of the Abyssal Changes
Abyssal Monsters can now be bound as Spectres.
The Vessel of Kulemak's Teleport Slam can no longer be avoided, and the damage it deals has been reduced.
Improved the telegraphing for the Vessel of Kulemak's arena-wide cleave. The cleave has also been made easier to dodge in the final part of the fight.
The "Area is overrun by the Abyssal" Map Modifier now spreads Pits over a larger amount of the area.
The Strider of the Pit's Spear Slam now has a global cooldown, and they now stop tracking you with their Storm skill when you are far enough away.
Reduced the damage of the Crystal Wall used by Abyssal Stranglers.
Reduced the movement speed of the Shepherd of the Pit, and reduced the damage dealt by their ground effect.
Improved the invulnerability visual effect for the Lightless Moray. The ignite chance and damage from its shade form explosion has also been reduced.
Abyssal Monsters now introduce some of their skills over the first 3 Acts instead of being able to use all of their skills from Act 1.
Removed the motion blur effect played when Abyssal Pits closed.
Other Changes and Improvements
One-time Rare Monsters found in the Campaign no longer have their fixed hidden modifiers when used as tamed beasts, or spectres.
You will no longer remain locked onto enemies while sprinting. This improves cases where you would sprint away from an enemy then unintentionally turn around to use a skill targeting that enemy.
You can now use Instance Management (Ctrl+click) on the button to jump in the Well of Souls.
You can now use /hideout and similar commands from the Well of Souls.
Maps without a Map Boss no longer spawn a boss arena with only a rare monster pack.
Vendor windows will now remember any search text you've entered on a per NPC basis, until you exit to character selection.
Boss fights with two bosses should now correctly restart from the beginning when a player Resurrects at Checkpoint after killing just one boss.
The Soul Siphoner monster modifier has been reworked. The inner ring now reduces damage dealt, and the outer ring reduces Skill Speed for each time you use a Skill while standing in it. Both rings deal Physical Damage over Time (previously both rings prevented Mana recovery, drained Mana and dealt Lightning Damage over time).
Forge Hammer no longer costs mana when used to recall the Hammer, and other skills such as Warcries cannot empower that use.
Doedre's Dark Design, triggered by the Doedre's Undoing Support, now deals Spell Damage instead of Secondary Damage.
Added missing Duration and Ground Effect types to the His Foul Emergence Skill to allow it to function with relevant support gems.
Temporarily disabled the following Rogue Exiles: Taua, the Ruthless, Ulfred, the Afflicted, Drusian, the Artillerist, and Doran, the Deft.
The Derelict Mansion Map Boss arena no longer requires finding a tome to open.
The boss arena in Derelict Mansion Map will now be open if you die to the bosses after opening it once.
The Razed Fields Map no longer stops you from entering the boss arena after it has been started.
The barrier outside the church in Arastas can no longer be broken early.
Improved the telegraphing of Yama the White's future sight skill.
Increased the cooldown for some of Torvian, Hand of the Saviour's skills. The projectile speed of their bouncing axe skill has been reduced, and the amount of freeze build up Torvian causes when under the effects of the Twilight Order's Sword buff has been reduced.
The Scourge of the Skies bird storm skill can no longer be avoided.
The slam combo skill used by Kurtog, Lord of Kin can no longer be avoided.
Some of the skills used by Great White One can no longer be avoided.
The tracking of Azmadi, the Faridun Prince's triple lacerate skill is now more lenient.
You can now use portals after defeating Siora, Blade of the Mists.
Oswin, the Dread Warden now removes all the debuffs he has applied to the player when he is killed.
Reduced the likelihood of Treant Foulspawns firing projectiles whilst walking.
Reduced the damage of Quill Crab's quill projectiles.
Updated the description of Lifetap Support to clarify it turns a Supported Skills Mana cost into a Life cost, rather than stating "a portion of".
Updated the Tabna's Pillar World Map Icon to correctly describe the benefits it provides.
Updated the Navali's Rest World Map Icon to indicate it provides a permanent benefit.
Corrected and simplified Meditate's description. This is purely a description change.
Clarified the Skill Description for Infernal Cry to indicate that it only Empowers Melee Attacks.
Thunderous Leap's description no longer inaccurately mentions that it only detonates spear skills. As with any detonator skill, it detonates anything that is capable of being detonated.
