The "Chromecast with Google TV (4k)" is $50 to this device's $100. $50 is a really attractive price point, $100 immediately feels less like a casual buy. The previous device was also a nice tiny dongle, not requiring any real

It's an open secret that "cheating" (i.e. not having both feet planted) is ubiquitous, to the point that since 1996 the official rule is now "not naked-eye visible loss of contact, or visibly bent knee". You can wat

This looks like something you could game jam with a 4 person crew in a couple days (being really generous). $99 a month, seriously?

If I stop uBlock and shrink the window / enlarge the text so only the main column fits, there's only two inline ads. At normal desktop size though, there's also two sidebar ads and one overlapping box at the bottom. And the o

For about the last year or so I've been getting pushed fishy articles on another nuclear propulsion company, Pulsar Fusion, via Google Now and elsewhere. AI-generated-reading articles on nobody websites. Something strange about all of

CMHC doesn't insure mortgages where the property value is equal to greater than $1 million, which in the Greater Toronto Area essentially limits it to condo purchases.

I've been getting very low view-count videos lately too, but they're at least tangentially related to whatever I've been watching. I'll watch a video about Doctor Who, then I'll get some random person's episode

Why does it have to be used by designers? Programmers can get benefit from the faster iteration time and level of abstraction from the engine code. It's also really nice for onboarding juniors. My first game dev job was as a junior gam

I can fix most issues by characterizing the issues to ChatGPT. I'll tell it what DALL-E's limitations are and why its prompts don't work and it (usually) "listens" and fixes things. It "knows" what a promp

Are there companies which would allow or suggest employees or contractors just use whatever random toolchain they have installed? I can understand the argument for open-source projects that aren't attached to a company, but otherwise?

Didn't GOFAST/GIMBAL and the Nimitz tic-tac video leak? That could have given them convenient choices to look like they were cooperating. Could they be covering something up? I can't say it's impossible. I'm just sa

They're usually classified because they reveal information on sensor capabilities, NASA's director talked about that at the press conference.

NASA's report backs up previous debunks stating that GOFAST was only going maybe 40 mph, which isn't out of line for windspeed at that altitude. It might have been a balloon. https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default

You missed satellite. So many of them are just satellites. One of the three witnesses at the Congressional hearing was touting getting a bunch of observations from commercial pilots, and when he finally posted his first video it was... sate

Some disagreements based on my experience working with UE for the past 11 odd years. Mind if this all sounds negative that I really like working in the engine and would recommend it for most game projects. I just think you should be aware o

I've only been on medium-small teams, but I'll give it a shot: Merging is essentially as banned as we can make it; we use Perforce, and set all .uasset files (Blueprints and other UE assets) as Exclusive Checkout so only one perso

I had a suspicion that phishers were using LinkedIn to build an employee directory to attack at work (using names and guessing our email address pattern), so I created a honeypot to test that: a company email along with a LinkedIn profile f
