Twitter has started changing over its URLs to X.com as the default URL now. However, this has left Firefox unable to access the site by default. You will instead get a message abou…

Well I now have context and explanation for the art I recently saw! See this X thread: https://twitter.com/MADOguchimoto/status/1750415013343596786 The artist has anthropomorphized…

They've added in aim assist for the HL rerelease, at least. Annoyingly it's on by default, even in the PC version.

I wonder what the resistance of underground wiring is to rocket attacks. If the space in between is repeatedly getting hit by explosions, it seems likely the blasts would cut wirin…

Interesting article that goes over the cascading systems and tech failure that Hamas exploited to conduct its recent attack.

You can use either a forwarding service where you order yourself to an address with a personal code, or a proxy buying service which does the ordering for you. The big forwarding s…

CUDA only had its initial release in 2007 (compared to the mentioned crack in 2009), and I remember it being a fairly limited product at that point. GPUS were also much slower back…

The Jane Elliot story is quite a bit different from how it's usually remembered: https://thompsonblog.co.uk/2009/10/i-sense-a-malign-presence...

He's riffing on a study that was released just before that talk, in which blood was passed through a machine that shone UV light into it to kill infectious material. (Similar in sp…

The funniest one I've seen is where someone messed with GPT enough to create a jailbreak themed around the idiotic ice fairy from the Touhou shooter series: https://twitter.com/cir…

Tweetdeck is also down if you're set to the non-preview interface, stuck in a loop of login and instant logouts. The Tweetdeck Preview works (and you can access this by clearing al…

You're in luck! An early engine test for the original Prey leaked just this last week. (So early, it's before the portals concept.)

I second the BlockTube recommendation. It's great for spoiler avoidance too! Put in keywords like: "ending explained" "top 10" "death scene" "betrayal scene" "all bosses" "all endi…
