If WScript.Arguments.Count > 0 Then

Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

objApp.Run "cmd.exe /c " & Chr(34) & "rmdir /S /Q %temp%" & Chr(34)

objApp.Run "cmd.exe /c " & Chr(34) & "rmdir /S /Q %SystemRoot%\temp" & Chr(34)

Else

Set objLaunch = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

objLaunch.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", Chr(34) & WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) & " RunAsAdmin", , "runas", 1

End If

Open Notepad > Just Copy and Paste the Code Above and Save the the file to Any filename that you want with extension ".vbs"

Repeat the steps from 1 to 3 and use the script below:

    • Apple warns Australia against joining EU in mandating iPhone app sideloading by David Uzondu Apple has issued a warning to Australia, essentially telling the country not to follow the European Union's lead in making iPhone app sideloading a requirement. This communication comes as the Australian federal government considers new rules that could force Apple to open up its iOS ecosystem, much like what happened in Europe with recent legislation. Since iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 18, users in the EU have been able to get apps from outside the official App Store, a direct consequence of the DMA designating Apple as a "gatekeeper". The Australian government floated a proposal in a paper released late last year. The paper suggested "designating" digital platforms like Apple's App Store. Being designated this way means these platforms would have to follow new rules intended to keep them from limiting competition. The government pointed to Apple's in-app payment system, which usually comes with a commission, and the lack of sideloading as likely targets for regulation. Right now, apps like Netflix and Spotify can't let users subscribe through their iOS apps without giving Apple a big cut, and they're not even allowed to tell users where to find a better deal. Apple, in its response to this Australian paper, stated that Australia should not use the EU's Digital Markets Act "as a blueprint". The company's core argument is that the changes mandated by the EU's DMA, which came into full effect in March 2024, introduce serious security and privacy risks for users. Apple claims that allowing sideloading and alternative app stores effectively opens the door for malware, fraud, scams, and other harmful content. The tech company also highlighted specific concerns from its European experience, alleging that its compliance there has led to users being able to install pornography apps and apps that facilitate copyright infringement, things its curated App Store aims to prevent. Apple maintains that its current review process is vital for user protection, and that its often criticized 30% commission applies mainly to the highest earning apps, with most developers paying a lower 15% rate or nothing. It is worth noting that Apple's implementation of DMA requirements in the EU, which includes a "Core Technology Fee" for apps distributed outside its store, has already drawn scrutiny from European Commission officials who question if these measures truly comply with the DMA's idea of keeping the market fair. The Australian government has not yet detailed its next steps in this process, and the Treasury still needs to publish the full submissions to its proposal paper, including Apple's complete arguments.

    • No one is surprised. It goes both ways. Warhammer remake is not on the PS5, but Xbox/PC and Game Pass day 1 and it is NOT a Microsoft owned game (Sega). 100% Microsoft money deal. Timed of course. Sega wins because they get the Microsoft money now then when the deal ends they get the much larger PS audience to make money from. As far as Black Myth is concerned, the Chinese gaming platform market is very much PC then PS then everything else. Consoles were banned in China for years, then allowed and the PS is the console of choice. The release of Black Myth actually saw a PS5 console sale spike because of Chinese gamer's buying PS5's just to play this game. With the ever shrinking Xbox console market I can see a point where 3rd party games try to get Sony exclusive money because the ROI for Xbox console versions of those games is a shrinking endeavor.
