G2A Under Fire for Alleged Piracy and Lack of Transparency

The online game store G2A has been criticized by developers and gamers alike for its alleged role in facilitating piracy and a lack of transparency. Critics have pointed out that many of the game keys available on G2A are purchased using stolen credit cards, which means that game makers potentially lose revenue from those sales.

In response to these criticisms, G2A said that it is no different from other marketplaces like Amazon or eBay. The company stated that if suspected fake keys are reported and they find the keys are illegally obtained, they will remove them, block the seller, and report it to the authorities. G2A even announced that it will ask an independent auditing company to examine whether there's any funny business going on behind the scenes.

The debate over G2A's sketchiness has been ongoing for some time. When we've been talking about their sketchiness for this long, probably a little sketchy is the most accurate description. Where there's smoke, there's fire, or so they say. Unless it's just smoke and you're just like smoking steam, smoking salmon, steaming steamed hams.

Amazon Can Be Held Liable for Third-Party Products Sold on Its Website

A recent ruling from the Philadelphia Court of Appeals suggests that customers could sue Amazon directly if they buy third-party products which turn out to be defective. This means that Amazon, as a parent company, can potentially be held liable for products sold by third-party sellers on its website.

The implications of this ruling are significant, as it could lead to more stringent quality control measures being implemented across the entire Amazon platform. It's also worth noting that Philadelphia is known for its robust consumer protection laws, which may serve as a model for other cities and states looking to protect their residents from defective products.

Apple Issues Recall for 2015 MacBooks Due to Explosive Battery Concerns

In a recent recall notice, Apple announced that certain 2015 MacBook models are at risk of exploding due to battery overheating. While the issue may not seem severe, it's essential to take steps to address it and prevent potential harm to users.

The company has issued a software update to address the issue, and customers who own affected devices are advised to update their firmware immediately. In the meantime, Apple is also offering free repairs for affected devices.

Tesla Promises Autonomous Vehicles by Next Year, BMW and Mercedes Set New Timeline

Elon Musk recently stated that Tesla aims to offer fully autonomous vehicles by next year. However, in a more realistic assessment, BMW and Mercedes have announced plans to release level four self-driving cars, which can drive on the autobahn and park themselves, by 2024.

While Elon's vision for autonomous vehicles may seem ambitious, it's worth noting that the technology is still in its early stages of development. The fact that other car manufacturers are taking a more measured approach to autonomous vehicle development suggests that there may be some truth to Musk's claims that we'll all have uploaded our minds to the cloud by next year.
