This week in the Disconnect Roundup I’m reflecting on how bias affects tech coverage as I find my own positive views toward Sony affecting how I see the Paramount acquisition talks. Plus, the usual recommended reads, labor updates, and other tech news!
Sony Pictures and Apollo Global Management have made a $26 billion offer to buy Paramount Pictures. The offer is non-binding and meant to start talks. Paramount is also in merger talks with Skydance Media. Here's more from Quartz.
Sony is preparing to release a more powerful PS5 console by the end of the year, according to @theverge
Leaked specs suggest the PS5 Pro will have a GPU that's 45% faster than the standard PS5, and will focus on improving ray tracing, as well as "hitting higher resolutions and frame rates in certain titles."
DDS was developed by #HP and #Sony at the end of the 1980s, based on the DAT format. It was primarily used for backup storage.
The DG90P pictured here is a DDS-1 tape that can store 1.3GB (up to 2GB compressed). In 1990, the usual hard drive capacity in a personal computer was less than 100 MB.
Sony is laying off around 900 people from multiple studios. This news comes after a series of layoffs in the gaming industry. @Kotaku has the latest comments from Jim Ryan, the President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

You gotta do it yourself.
Grab it and put it on your computer or a thumb drive.

This year's #IDAD (International Day Against #DRM ) was marked with the news that #Sony - once again - decided to screw their customers over with DRM.
Yes, Sony's rootkit scandal was already 18 years ago, but if some of us still complain about it, it is because the lesson wasn't learned.

Having strange issues on a Network: an old #Sony#Bravia KD-55XD8005 TV tries to (at least) connect to a Mac via Destination Port 60442/udp exact every 30 Minutes. Firewall is currently blocking this connection.
Ich bin in einer Zeit aufgewachsen, in der man noch epische Tuerme der audiophilen Awesomeness aufbauen durfte, um den Lieblingsklaengen lauschen zu koennen.
