You'd think google would use the same architecture for chrome! I haven't found it to be nearly as useful.

I use Microsoft Edge exclusively for its read aloud function -- it doesn't require reader mode to be activated and has integration with Microsoft's 'natural voice' which is almost indistinguishable from regular speech. A

If the software was compatible with proprietary vinyl cutters, there would be a slew of stay at home moms who would love to use it. Popular manufacturers have completely destroyed their customers' faith - I recommend this excellent wri

I love this sort of blend of urban exploration and archeology. I actually made a video game about it, inspired by the "sublime" of uninhabitable (yet comfortable) exurbs of midwestern USA: https://q-andrew.itch.io&#x2F

Thanks! It's the first game I've made that will actually be released, I'm excited to see people play it.

These issues are definitely real and need to be fixed. However, I do think that the URP/shadergraph pipeline has been unfairly maligned -- I've gotten some great results with very few bugs using HDRP as a solo dev (granted, the ta

To add to the list, Unity changed their policy on console development 6 days ago, and didn't tell anyone or even give an explanation (this article was written after a few developers noticed it in the license by chance). Whether or not

I believe the same company owns a decent amount of train stations and routes. The skytree was a way to get more traffic to a less-traveled station, and it worked like a charm. I'm willing to bet that the other observation decks serve a

The term "metaverse" is so ill-defined and buzzwordy. I doubt that anything considered a metaverse would come from such a closed-system approach that Facebook is so fixed on.

I find solarpunk really interesting. On one hand, it's the most "fresh" aesthetic of futurism we've seen since cyberpunk. On the other hand, most of this architecture isn't environmentally sustainable at all -- the

Blender is slowly making its way into the public consciousness. There are people who I wouldn't ever expect to be aware of any 3D program who seem to understand what blender does and is used for. Its reputation on platforms like youtub

This is funny because modern Lubbock is an exact antithesis of what the article praises as good city planning.

Unfortunately this probably won't be changing any time soon. Similar to the movie industry in CA, execs see game developers as totally replaceable, because they kind of are. There are so many people who are extremely passionate about m

Yes. After the Vietnam war, real footage of violence left the public zeitgeist. Liveleak hosted videos that showed what life was really like when you listened to the guy who was trying to recruit you into the U.S. Army.

Was any person or institution archiving liveleak videos? Even just for the sake of law enforcement or journalistic documentation, I hope there is a way of accessing this content. I'm sure there's a lot of unprocessed history in th

Also, it's too bad this doesn't go before 1980, because I'd love to see how the Mt St Helens eruption affected the landscape around it (I know there are pictures, but google maps makes it feel more hands-on)
