Danagoulian describes his idea for a satellite-based sensor system that could orbit close by a suspect satellite and detect neutrons generated by high-energy protons colliding with radioactive material.

Ok, but don’t RTGs (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator) also emit neutrons? How would the sensor system tell the difference between a warhead and a generator?

This should get interesting when motorola releases a phone with GrapheneOS on it.

I am for less plastic in the world (and against BS licensing and scummy anti ownership practices)

Construction has begun on the Western world’s first grid-scale Small Modular Reactor (SMR), though small is not what comes to mind, considering that the machine will fit on two soccer fields.

Target date for completion is 2030.

Lol, the picture literally looks like they had some random dude duct tape guns to a drone and call it a day.

I’m sure that buttstock is real effective /s 🤣

I will start by saying that I have no idea what their plans are and I am not a game or game engine dev.

how do you have the same skin in multiple games for different character or items models?

I think what we’ll see is the model and mesh of the skins will be loadable by the game via the engine. I’m assuming they’ll have a standard that contains the hitbox and model/mesh to put on the character. Then the game dev could tweak gobally the scaling (as an example) to make all skins fit nicely into their game. Same for guns and such. But game devs who want to opt in[1] to this will have to use the engine API to make it work.

Are they going to update every game when there is a new skin released

I would assume that the game itself won’t need to be recompiled or updated but rather the engine will download the newest skins in some common and reusable place. And then the engine swaps one model for another.

[1] my suspicion is that the tech will be licensed to the game makers. Especially if they plan on allowing copyright characters (like Marvel characters).

And again, please take everything I said with some salty grains or something as I am only speculating.

Epic shared plans for “portable content, codes and economies” between UE-developed games, with Fortnite slated to be the first real proof of concept. In Fortnite’s case, portability will allow cosmetics obtained or purchased in-game to be used in other UE games and vice versa. Additionally, UE6’s cross-game social link feature will allow players to be connected to one game, but voice chat with people playing another.

The first part seems like a new concept we haven’t seen in other games. Buy one skin, use it everywhere. I bet they’re going to fuck it up with their greed somehow, but it’s a neat concept and provides more value to people who buy skins.

The second part, and last sentence, is basically just discord, team speak, etc. I don’t buy or use Epic’s stuff, but if I understand it correctly, some dumbass thought it was a good idea to only allow voice channels for people playing the same game 🤣🤣🤣

Could spell trouble

But wont because we’re totally ignoring that iOS exists in this clickbait article.

Sounds concerning but it could also be benign:

Add or modify calendar events

Likely used to show events you’ve been invited to (automatically like how outlook does it), and or update an event that has changed (cancelled, location update, etc)

Send email to guests […]

Send email when adding contacts to and event.

That being said I don’t believe the intent is malicious but I also haven’t audited the code.

What a trash company (Atlassian)

This… Hear me out, we take all the AI companies, we give them each 1 PC. Their AI gets to have full control over the PC and that PC is on a lan with all the other companies’ AI PCs. And then we have an AI deathmatch and the winner is crowned Skynet.

large pieces of material blew out of Orion’s heat shield during re-entry, leaving divots.

I’m not convinced that this isn’t by design. The shield should take any and all damage so the shuttle doesn’t have to. Its likely also completely unsafe to reuse a heat shield after its be used for reentry.

this is 100% down to Trump wanting either a distraction or to be able to say “well I put someone on the moon”

Ah yes, the 9 year old long-con distraction play.

Nah, I’m all about that 9001/01/01 life

Digital Extremes, the makers of Warframe?

ASUS realizes there’s a shit ton of money to be made on ram.

Well, I hope they have insurance.

Thanks, I’ll see myself out.

You will speak the version that you learned. You will mostly notice regional differences in the idioms and synonyms of the words you know might be used more commonly in one region vs the other.

For example, in London you might hear people use boot instead of trunk.

But the majority of the words will be the same regardless of region.

“Copilot I’m losing this match, aim for me”

So why would Valve do this? It may be a response to several law firms’ attempt to file “mass arbitrations,” wherein “hundreds or thousands of consumers bringing individual arbitration claims against the same company at the same time and over the same issue,” according to ClassAction.org. It’s essentially a loophole for class action waivers and arbitration clauses, though it still won’t end up in court.

Hit em right in the pocket book.
