Jüngste Entwicklungen in Äthiopien deuten darauf hin, dass sich das Land mit großer Geschwindigkeit auf einen Bürgerkrieg zubewegt. Wie konnte es unter dem mit dem Friedensnobelpreis ausgezeichneten Premierminister soweit kommen?

An experimental mRNA coronavirus vaccine developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and German firm BioNTech appeared to be more than 90-percent effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 cases in an interim analysis of their large Phase III clinical trial.

The two companies reported the top-line results of the analysis in a press release early Monday but have not yet published or released detailed data from the trial.

The companies said that they could file for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the US Food and Drug Administration in the third week of November. That’s the point at which the companies will have a median of two months of safety monitoring data on trial participants, a milestone specified by the FDA—at the objection of the Trump administration.

Apple supplier Pegatron found using illegal student labor in China

Apple has reprimanded one of its largest manufacturers after a Financial Times investigation found that thousands of student interns had worked overtime to assemble iPhones, in breach of Chinese law.

After being contacted by the FT, Apple said it had stopped giving “new business” to Pegatron, its second-largest iPhone assembler after Foxconn. However, workers there said the factory was still manufacturing new products ahead of the holidays.

Apple is racing to make up for production delays earlier in the year caused by the pandemic. The latest revelations of supply chain abuses will come as an embarrassment to the company during its busiest season for new product launches in years. The latest iPhone 12 models are set to go on sale on Friday, two months later than normal. At an event on Tuesday, Apple is also expected to reveal new Mac computers.

Sorry, you can’t move your discontinued copy of PT to the PS5

But the game was briefly transferable during the prerelease review period.

<em>PT</em> scenes like this will not be viewable on the PS5, even though they were briefly during the prerelease period.

Remember PT? The free "playable trailer" was released for the PS4 back in 2014 to promote a Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro-led Silent Hill sequel featuring Norman Reedus. But when that project was cancelled in 2015, the demo was removed from the PlayStation Store, even as a redownload.

That means the short horror demo is now only playable on some of the 1 million or so PS4 systems that downloaded it before the discontinuation. Those units have sold for heavily inflated prices on eBay as the hard-to-access demo has achieved cult classic status among horror game fans.

In the lead-up to the PS5's launch this week, there was some speculation that those trapped demos could be freed from their PS4 prisons via transfer to a backward-compatible PS5. Now, though, multiple outlets have confirmed that the game can't be moved from a PS4 to a PS5; When you try through the system's App Transfer menu, you simply get a message saying, "You can't use this PS4 game or app on the PS5."
