To put C++’s growth in context:

Today’s game is The Darkside Detective. I had gifted a friend a copy of OneShot, and he ended up enjoying it so much he gifted me this as a little game exchange. He said he thought i might like it. Turns out, i really enjoyed it. It’s a basic point and click but a lot of fun.

In November last year, we reported on the removal of an unofficial KMS-related Windows activation, something which the company was planning to do for a while. The method worked by helping to activate Windows without an internet connection.

Reports of covert filming have prompted privacy fears as experts are concerned that the devices would be altered to ‘nudify’ women without their consent

I’m not the creator of this program, but its too fun not to share! The comments from the developer and users joining the swarms on the reddit thread are hilarious.

Today I started the install of the base and uprights. I only had a couple hours to spend on it today, but am quite happy with what I got done.

The RSPCA moved Alvin from its Warrington branch to Preston to boost his chances of finding a home.

The story you are reading is a series of scoops nestled inside a far more urgent Internet-wide security advisory. The vulnerability at issue has been exploited for months already, and it’s time for a broader awareness of the threat. The short version is that everything you thought you knew about the security of the internal network behind your Internet router probably is now dangerously out of date.

The twenty states now regulating synthetic media in campaigns aren’t doing it the same way.

The $499 smartphone is described as being “purpose-built” for people who carry two phones — one for work and one for personal use. That is, the company believes its market will be people who do a lot of actual work on their devices — meaning messaging, emailing, working with documents, or other things where using a physical keyboard could be an advantage.

So, it appears that PC vendors are no longer hesitant to hike prices of their products, and Corsair is a recent example. While PC price hikes are common these days, what’s not acceptable is cancelling the already placed order without any valid reason. A Redditor just reported that he became a victim of such an incident after he placed an order for a Corsair pre-built system two days ago.

A patch is on the way to the Linux kernel and looks like it could be ready for the 6.20~7.0 kernel for addressing out-of-memory “OOM” killer inaccuracy behavior when dealing with large core count systems.

Once again we’re getting hammered with lake effect snow in upstate NY. Syracuse had their snowiest calendar day in 80 years, the second snowiest calendar day in recorded history.

Look to the eastern horizon at dusk on Jan. 2 to watch the “Wolf Moon” rise shortly before sunset local time. It will appear particularly large while close to the horizon thanks to a phenomenon called the “moon illusion”, a visual effect that makes low-hanging moons seem oversized.

A few days ago X introduced a new AI Image Editing button that lets any user modify images posted by others, even without the original uploader’s consent. Image owners are not notified when edits are made, and the feature is enabled by default with no opt-out option (at least not so far).

I don’t know exactly where the right place to post this is but at the least I thought y’all might enjoy the shrimp. X) My sweet little Zee boy has been diagnosed with both feline aids and colon cancer in the last month. The path to any potential cure starts with a CT scan and biopsy which is about $5000. I’m willing to put anything I need to on my credit card in order to get him taken care of but I was wondering if any of y’all knew any resources I could look into to get help paying for his care? I didn’t see anything in the guidelines about fundraising campaign type things but that would be weird anyway. Enjoy the shrimp! if you know where I can get help paying for my boys care, let me know.

I upgraded from my 15 year old PC to one of the new Mac Minis at Xmas last year, thinking that I would be fine for gaming with my Xbox / Game Pass, and I would “skip a generation” on PC hardware. I have a small Steam / Epic library, but everything that didn’t work on MacOS, I had a Game Pass version of.
