VW to cut 50,000 jobs but supervisory board blocks four German plant closures

Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume confirmed plans to cut 50,000 jobs in what he called "the most comprehensive realignment in the company's history." The carmaker's supervisory board, however, rejected his proposal to close four factories in Germany. Blume said the restructuring encompasses 12 initiatives, roughly 150 pages and 45 individual resolutions, and that he has broad support for the plan.

Should Volkswagen close German factories to save the company?

Altman mocks space data centres — and most experts agree with him

Sam Altman publicly mocked the concept of short-term space-based data centres, suggesting their proponents are selling unrealistic visions to public market investors. Most industry experts already share this scepticism, viewing orbital data centres as economically unviable in the near term. Altman implied the hype around them is primarily a marketing exercise aimed at capital markets.

Witcher Remake's open world risks a major pitfall, warns original designer

The lead narrative designer of the original Witcher game has warned that building an open world for the Witcher Remake poses a major challenge for developer Fool's Theory. He argues the studio risks making a serious mistake as it adapts the linear original into an open-world format. No specifics about the nature of the pitfall were disclosed, but the original creator is certain the task will be extremely difficult.

Medieval proxy marriages: how couples wed without attending their own ceremony

In medieval Europe, it was possible to get married without either party being physically present at the ceremony, through the use of a proxy. Known as a proxy marriage, the practice was mainly used by noble and royal families to forge political alliances across great distances. Though it sounds implausible, it was a legally binding institution recognised by the Church.
