Microsoft is moving away from allowing anything to run with those low level permissions after that CrowdStrike incident where rogue security software bricked millions of Windows PCs, so that might take out kernel anticheat as collateral damage.

I wouldn't say I was friends with Windows. It's more like escaping an abusive relationship IMO.

I mean, you wouldn't actually want to eat what you saw in the ad. Meat painted with wood varnish to make it shiny, cardboard spacers between layers of a burger to make it stand up more, white paint in the thick shakes, etc.

Weird that Epstein committed suicide just before he was let go due to lack of evidence.

Why do payment processors have to be concerned with age ratings at all?

That poor efficiency isn't even compared to a modern heat pump, either. In terms of heat output vs energy consumption, they can be up to 400% efficient.

If we are banning wood heaters, then we should ban fossil fuel cars as well.

This, but unsarcastically. It's 2025 and people are still buying huge 4WD diesels to drive through the city to the office.

Common wildlife species also weren't designed by art and marketing people to be visually distinct and easy to recognise.

FYI, there's a modern Descent-like game called Overload.

It has VR support.

Fun fact: Overload supports VR.

It didn't make me motion sick, so I'm confident nothing ever will.

Put a strip of tape across the top of the screen.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!

 

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

 

Something about fibre to the node inspired me.
