The game's Steam forums are full of anecdotal complaints about the game's high CPU usage, including reports of stuttering and reduced frame rates due to frequent CPU bottlenecks.

In any case, Ubisoft's statement suggests that the game using the "full extent" of the CPU at those base requirement and settings levels is by design and not the result of DRM.

Thursday was the deadline for the US government to release the remaining secret files, but as the day drew to a close President Donald Trump said the release of some records will be delayed for another 180 days.

A CIA spokesperson told CBS the agency welcomes the additional review so it can ensure the identities of CIA assets, current and former CIA officers, as well as relevant intelligence methods and partnerships.

The NYPD is actively opposed to transparency. It does all it can to thwart outsiders from accessing any info about the department's inner workings.

The department has spent $25 million on a forfeiture tracking system that can't even do the one thing it's supposed to do: track forfeitures. The Property and Evidence Tracking System (PETS) is apparently so complex and so badly constructed, the NYPD can't compile the records being sought.

"New York City is one power surge away from losing all of the data police have on millions of dollars in unclaimed forfeitures, a city attorney admitted to a flabbergasted judge on Tuesday."

Last week we brought news that the Internal Revenue Service awarded a $7.2 million contract to Equifax to allow Equifax to "verify taxpayer identity." The contract was awarded days after Equifax announced it had exposed the personal data, including Social Security numbers, of about 145 million people.

The IRS said it is investigating the security of Equifax's systems during this suspension, which could be lifted if Equifax gets a clean bill of health.

The company declined to explain how its UK revenues were not booked though its UK business.

The seeming ability of the company to shelter most its UK profits from the UK tax authorities raises again the ability of big international companies to route their revenues to the countries with the most favourable tax regimes.

Facebook's security chief is warning critics that the fake news problem is more complicated than many are aware.

Facebook has drawn flak for its role in perpetuating hoaxes and its influence on the presidential election, and has in recent months worked to combat the rise of fake news. In response, the company said in August it would expand a program to offer related articles on a trending topic that offer fact-check articles and other perspectives.

Along with the papyrus diary of the overseer, known as Merer, the archaeologists uncovered a ceremonial boat and a system of waterworks. The ancient text described how Merer’s team dug huge canals to channel the water of the Nile to the pyramid.

A separate team of archaeologists is currently working to make an internal map of the Great Pyramid at Giza using laser technology. The group, from the ScanPyramids project, has announced the discovery of a series of voids in the pyramid which they believe may be hidden rooms.

Retro Games on Friday announced the C64 Mini, which is half the size of the original version and will come with 64 preinstalled licensed games like Uridium, Pardroid and Hawkeye.

The C64 Mini is expected to launch in early 2018 for $70 and comes with a classic-style joystick, two USB ports and an HDMI cable, allowing it to connect to any modern TV.

This will affect all immigrants, whether or not their legal status says they should be treated like US citizens. The rule covers permanent residents and naturalized citizens, not just visa applicants and visitors.

The new rule is silent on the subject of passwords, but it's pretty clear reluctance to turn over this info will result in "incomplete" searches of immigrants' devices. The best case scenario is they're free to go… without their devices. The worst case is hours of detention while CBP/ICE agents attempt to talk detainees into handing over this information.

The plan, which Facebook announced last year, would have given shareholders two new non-voting shares for each voting share they owned.

Most companies operate according to a one-share-one-vote principle. But several high-profile technology companies, including Google, Facebook, and Snap, give extra per-share voting rights to founders and early investors.
