@techexplain1 Weird phrasing. It's surveillance and a useful tool for law enforcement.

Every time you print from a color printer, hundreds of yellow dots are embedded into the page. Everything you’ve ever printed can be traced right back to the printer with metadata. Is this surveillance or a useful tool for law enforcement?

@HidemyCG Why is this physically correct? Is it that we let the light out of the glass by ignoring any inner reflections by using a standard transparent shader model?

The most optimal renderer settings for a close-up scene with glass and the glass shader itself. The first option is without any settings. Made in Blender. #b3d

@Pirat_Nation Do want followers or people blocking you for posting this crap bait?

Game developer Thomas Grové from Studio Interrupt recreated the same horror game in both Unity and Godot to compare the engines side by side, and the results were surprisingly one-sided. The project, a retro-style horror game called “Eyes Never Wake,” was built in both engines under the same conditions. According to Grové, Godot performed better in most areas affecting everyday development. >The engine started much faster, scripts compiled dramatically quicker, exports finished in seconds instead of minutes, and the install size was only a tiny fraction of Unity’s. >Godot launched in about 13 seconds versus Unity’s 80 seconds, and exporting took around 2 seconds in Godot compared to nearly 15 minutes in Unity. >The developer also found that Godot delivered stronger lighting and atmosphere, showing how much the engine’s visuals have improved.

@ubuntu Before you do that maybe you should fix the last update's bugs that had nvidia drivers not working properly.

We’re just 3 days away from Ubuntu Summit 26.04. ⏰ Join the livestream on May 27-28 to hear from leaders, builders, and innovators across the open source community. Register now: ubuntu.com/summit

@ubuntu If there is one thing I've learned about ubuntu: if you got it working, dont ever update anything. Good luck to all the users crashing their systems with this update!

It's official! The codename for Ubuntu 26.10 is... (Drum roll, please. 🥁) ...Stonking Stingray!

@Pirat_Nation Wait, they weren't doing that already?! Everything you hear about ms these days makes you want to go all in on linux.

Microsoft is testing a new feature in Windows 11 called Low Latency Profile that gives a short boost to your CPU for 1 to 3 seconds when you open apps or menus. Early tests show Microsoft apps like Edge and Outlook open up to 40% faster, while the Start menu and other menus can load up to 70% faster, with CPU use jumping high for a few seconds then dropping right back down. Microsoft says this is normal because Apple does it in macOS and Linux, plus phones use the same type of quick CPU boosts for better speed. The feature is only in early Insider testing now, so it is not out for everyone yet.

@PixelCNinja Please don't compare crt to hdmi. It would be correct to say "composit or hdmi" or "crt or lcd/led". Thank you.

Sonic Mania now playable on #MiSTerFPGA (ARM) - 4:3 CRT 16:9 HDMI - this thing is sick. More details and download links in my latest YouTube video (link in reply) Will you play it on a CRT or HDMI? PLEASE 💬♥️ & RT ✅

@MARINESARALDI Dogs were bred to live with humans, not parallel to them. Give them a home instead. Also, psychos are going to put poison in those dispensers.

@StuffWorthSee Nice leaf and bird poo catcher.

The creative and trendy sunshade umbrella from the 2025 Milan Furniture Fair - it's both an umbrella and a lamp, with a really interesting design

@0xEFBF @kiranuknow @twtayaan Or too old. The good old 'asus maximus vi impact' built-in wifi chip is useless with ubuntu.

@kiranuknow @twtayaan You haven't used Linux on enough PC. Even Ubuntu gets prob with WiFi often if your mb or wireless adapter is a little unusual or too new.

@analogue Thanks for the CEC-fix! Everything has been working smooth since this update. Great work.

3DOS v1.2.0 available now. Progressive mode, NSO N64 controller support, Library game date added + gameplay time tracking and tons more. See the full changelog in thread below and update your Analogue 3D here: analogue.link/3d-1.2

@Programancer It looks like powerblade. I'm interested in this.

BREAK THE TARGETS

@NormBreaker3 I found that their matrix transformations are unoptimized and sometimes give slightly wrong results. Some logics that run fine in unity where slightly offset and adding more logic to fix it would be even more costly to performance. But i like their open source aproach.

>Has all the functionalities Unity has >Launches in seconds >Light weight with only 100MB of storage and 1GB of RAM vs 10-20GB of storage and 4GB of RAM >Flexible architecture >No bloatware >Doesn't force you to create an account >fully free What's the point of Unity?

@NikTek Could you please tell all the other big game company CEOs that. They been shutting down studios, hired people based off of everything not merited, and pushing their own agendas into the games. It's been a shit show in AAA land coming these last ten years.

Hot Take: it doesn't matter if a CEO is a gamer. As Strauss Zelnick has said perfectly "a CEO's job is to attract, retain and motivate the best talent in the business and then get out of their way." The new Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma doesn't need to be a gamer to run a company. She simply needs to do what the CEO's job of running a gaming company is supposed to do which is to hire talent and allow game studios to make their creative vision come to reality in a video-game format without interference. I've seen a lot of comments judging her by her previous gamer background which doesn't really matter in my opinion, what matters is how and if her future decisions will lead to making Xbox the best gaming platform that it can be.

@mc_nutts @ModernVintageG @asha_shar @Xbox Of course other hardware limitations would have to be altered to fit the increased bandwith of information. Just looking at what it could do with those crappy 64x64 tiles im sure it would look much closer to what the dreamcast or ps2 could render. Opportunity missed. Bad show...

@LudvigInSpace @ModernVintageG @asha_shar @Xbox If N used disc media and had more texture cache. The video memory thing was what gimped the hell out of the N64. All the blurry repeating textures really hurt it.

Today I begin my role as CEO of @Xbox. Here are my three commitments: 1/ GREAT games 2/ Return of @Xbox 3/ Future of play blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2026/02/2…

@ModernVintageG @asha_shar @Xbox Looking at them both some time later reveals that nintendo made some errors with 64's design. Using disc media would have opened up for more games, it could have left the ps1 in the dust. The controller was also a miss when it all came around. Gamecube was better executed.

@asha_shar @Xbox welcome Asha. I just have one question N64 or GameCube?

@itsnex1s @forbiddenhourai @Pirat_Nation Nice try, clawdbot....

@forbiddenhourai @Pirat_Nation Man I’m a real person. What is wrong with my profile?

Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up' Many submissions contain nonsensical code changes, fabricated test results, and overly verbose descriptions typical of LLM output. Reviewing every new contributor's PR has become extremely time-consuming and demoralizing. Rémi Verschelde stated they may not be able to sustain the current level of manual vetting much longer.

@J1NX3D4LIFE What an ironic take. We could have has these discussions several times but people have been more interested in gender discussions. The gaming industry is in turmoil since woke games no longer sells. I wonder what the real poison is....

Critical Drinker, Asmongold, Nerdrotic, Grummz, and these anti-woke YouTube grifters has done irrepairable damage to gaming discussion. We could be talking about level design, environment, game mechanics, and stuff that's actually about, you know... GAMES. But no, it's shit like this.

@jonhurwitz have you ever had any thoughts on writing a script for 'Harold and Kumar goes to Epsteins Island'?

@Grummz Amazing news for consumers. We get to keep our money and devs can optimize and make use of the tech before they force us up to a new GPU gen. Total win!

No new GPU models for 2 years. NVidia to halt introduction of new models. AAA games that bet on graphics 3 years ago are gonna be in some pain.
