Paint.NET has filled a “I need an image editor with some packed in features that isn’t as complicated as Photoshop for some quick work” niche for me for years. From simple crops and edits to some layer-and-effects work.
I did not know Aseprite was free if you compile it but they deserve the money anyway.
I just received a Beelink brand mini PC with an N100 intel CPU with QuickSync.
After setting up PleX and updating the drivers, I was able to hardware transcode the same 4K HDR movie to two separate devices simultaneously (with subtitles and HDR -> SDR tone mapping). Based on headroom it seemed like I might be able to do another. Others say it can do like up to 8 transcodes of varying source quality.
I’m going to strongly disagree that Harris’ campaign overly focused on identity politics and specifically trans rights and that was the reason they lost the election.
IF the party’s support for trans rights was the reason they lost, it would be because the Trump campaign (et. al.) was talking about it, not the Harris campaign.
I could be wrong, I didnt watch every stump speech or somehow missed the party’s focus for trans rights in every speech I did watch. Feel free to correct me.
My group is roughly about to head to space for the first time or launch our first rocket so that’s exciting
Former PlayStation exec who left in 2019 before the PS5 launched.
While the writing was on the wall that creativity was leaving the AAA space, PlayStation was still the AAA darling which didn’t really mess up.
In this vein, Fastmail and Kagi Search as well.
Those EXT4-fs write access unavailable errors look spooky. Should probably do some standard Linux FS testing (fsck)
I’ve not had to recover anything from a raspberry pi SD card, but in the case you start from scratch - and considering it’s upset at write access - you may be able to plug it into another machine and at least salvage bits of its configuration that way.
If anyone has the git repo downloaded, they have a copy of it (from when they last pulled)
Yeah, GameFreak figured out the casino stuff wasn’t a good idea in gen 4 (HeartGold/SoulSilver) and replaced slots with Voltorb Flip outside of Japan, and otherwise closed the game corner in subsequent titles. In Pokémon: Let’s Go (Gen7) the player receives Porygon from a random person instead of needing to grind coins in the casino. Would be interesting to see if they could/would hack in that change.

What a treat. Also Pokémon Platinum.
We certainly can. NVIDIA’s CEO realizes that the next buzzword that sells their cards (8K, 240hz, RTX++) isn’t going to run at good framerates without it.
That’s not to say AI doesn’t have its place in graphics, but it’s definitely a crutch for extremely high-end rendering performance (see RT) and a nice performance and quality gain for weaker (hopefully cheaper) graphics cards which support it.
As a gamer and developer I sort of fear AI taking the charm away from rendered games as DLSS/FSR embeds itself in games. I don’t want to see a race to the bottom in terms of internal, pre-DLSS resolution.
Bring back /r/place
I think it’s just Tim Sweeney’s way of saying, we will adjust our approach in the future, like what any publicly traded CEO would do.
Epic Games is a private company.
If it were public, they would not let Sweeney throw (large amounts of) money into the shredder like he tends to do.
I bought a Tesla Model 3 back when they were new and I like Halo, so I named it “Silent Cartographer” for both being quiet and going places. It’s wordy AND nerdy, so I don’t really refer to it by its name.
My guess is building hype, probably.
I’ve seen no indication Valve is upset at what has transpired besides banning the person who shared information, which is the exact same thing they do to random people who (mistakenly or otherwise) stream the game on twitch/youtube.
Valve absolutely knows if they want Deadlock to be an absolute secret, they need to issue NDAs. They didn’t, so it must be something else.
The game lives or dies on its aesthetics IMO. It’s a looter shooter with stiff competition launching quite a bit late. I love the aesthetic enough to be willing to give it a shot so long as it’s F2P.
If it doesn’t live or die on aesthetics it’s probably that they effectively re-define the genre like Apex basically did when it launched (also late to the party).
Only way to get to more than 2 parties is to vote for the one party that doesn’t want a dictatorship, sadly.
Worlds War 3?
The article is even more wack than the price for the domain. They want to launch a $99 necklace that listens to everything you say while it “forms its own thoughts” about it. Then instead of talking to you, it just texts you when IT “wants” (read: on a timer or based on a system prompt)
The monetization is a one-time $99, no subscription. That’s … suspicious from a privacy perspective.
100%.
I know this is a thread for someone new, but perhaps as a future fix: I grabbed a mini PC to do plex transcoding and all of Plex’s content is on a separate NAS with a 14TB RAID. I think the mini PC has 500GB by default
