It does feel like a pretty long shot, but you've done all the common sense stuff and are into the weeds, so why not throw wild guesses around?

What if the battery is doing something hinky enough to cause very minor interference and the internal cable is close enough to be affected by it? I'm not super familiar with the low level details of battery tech but I think it could theoretically be possible (though obviously would be stupid rare).

A nice mix of different types of wards against certain magic in certain areas and magic detection spells with different traits could definitely make it interesting.

Excluding some of the smaller point and shoots, which are still more volume than most phones, DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras are way bigger than phones for a reason. It's because that's what it takes to take actual high quality pictures without cheating heavily with processing.

I really doubt that. Computational photography is only as good as it is because of how heavily it processes all sorts of data that can't make it into the jpeg that gets spit out.

I would love to see what an Apple camera with the hardware they leverage on iPhone, but a full frame sensor and real lens could do, because what they manage to pull out of the trash ass input is impressive. But it's already processed to absolute hell. There's nothing left for further passes to pull out.

Do you like stealth?

The story is fine, and they do a good job mixing it into the gameplay, but it's not one of my favorite games for the story. (On higher difficulties) It's an excellent stealth game that has really well designed encounters with very believable AI and uses resource scarcity to make every action have weight.

If it's malicious, it's not penetration testing. It's just malicious.

Kotaku has contacted Valve for more information.

For real? The headline is already the whole story.

They already fucking do.

They just pretend pre-roll trailers aren't ads.

You're right. It's $5 for 300 searches or $10 for unlimited. It used to cost more and still have a limit. I didn't realize there was still a cheaper tier.

I got an axe throwing game (plastic axes, so reasonably safe, but surprisingly fun). I would rather the axes weigh a little more, but as is it means it can be put out with other lawn games when families come over without being nervous about kids.
