This Is How the 3D Pipes Windows Screensaver Was Created
  • 3D Maze doesn’t really belong in this list. It’s about the development of screensavers by the Windows OpenGL team. 3D Maze wasn’t built in OpenGL, instead it used a software ray casting renderer similar to Wolfenstein 3D and Doom

    I’m not sure what to think there.

  • Star Trek: Discovery Beats Picard & Rises Higher In Nielsen Streaming Top 10
  • Contrary to popular belief, the Sonic and Knuckles cart only worked with other Sonic games.

    If you try to attach your Star Trek: The Next Generation: Echoes from the Past cartridge you will just get an error message.

    I’m sure Paramount has already tried this several times to no avail.

  • I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun
  • You don’t need iTunes to manage an iPod. There are tons of alternative apps, as well as plugins for music players like foobar2000 and Winamp.

    iPods are still great. You can even replace their hard drives with modern flash storage and they work. It’s actually really impressive, i built a 256GB iPod Mini and iTunes has no problem with it. For the Mini, any compact flash card works as a drop-in replacement for the hard drive. Other models require a cheap adapter.

  • Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after firing team
  • it’s also not a good way of actually figuring out who is critical.

    you can have people who keep the lights on and if they do their job right few even notice they exist.

  • ‘The Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy Returning to Theaters, Remastered and Extended
  • re-releases like this are not even remotely a new thing

  • Net neutrality is back as FCC votes to regulate internet providers
  • A website isn’t a common carrier, you cannot argue that a website isn’t allowed to control who they serve their content to. An ISP is a common carrier because they simply act as a dumb pipe between the provider (websites) and the consumer.

    Cloudflare is a tool websites use to exercise that right, necessitated by the ever rising prevalence of bots and DDoS attacks. Your proposed definition of net neutrality would destroy anyone’s ability to deal with these threats.

    Can you at least provide examples of legitimate users who are hindered by the use of Cloudflare?

  • Net neutrality is back as FCC votes to regulate internet providers
  • I’ve always wondered, what do Comcast’s boots taste like?

  • Almost all Chinese keyboards have severe security flaws that can be (mis)used for mass surveillance, report reveals
  • Given that the FBI’s targets probably don’t type in Chinese or other logographic languages very often i doubt they care.

  • Fallout Show, so bad that no one will remember it in 3 months
  • New Vegas is the best of the modern Fallout games, but toxic elements in its fan base are making me enjoy the game less and less each year. We should stop giving them the time of day.

    The show is great, and these people are just fishing for nonsense to feed their persecution complex.

  • Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news
  • that is why spotify is a scam. it may be a good deal for you, the consumer, but it has made it even harder for artists to make money off their work.

  • Star Trek Coffees Launching In May With Several Blends
  • you’re paying for the branded bottle, not the liquid inside.

    the irony is that i wanted some of those wines, knowing they weren’t good, but i couldn’t order them because i live in one of the shitty states.

  • Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores
  • the system wasn’t as magic as they made it out to be. turns out it was powered by a team of 1,000 people reviewing camera footage in India.

  • it could be 2 hours of michelle yeoh eating kelpians and i would still be entertained

  • What are some games you find yourself frequently coming back to?
  • My problem is that i can’t seem to get a hang of the combat, at all. Taking down even some medium sized dinobots feels like a slog, 20 minutes of me breaking line of sight, taking a pot shot at its weak point, and somehow missing, rinse and repeat. I feel the game either didn’t do a good job teaching me how to deal with them, or I’m just playing it wrong and don’t know better.

    I’ve started the game three times and each time I get about 6 hours in before I get bored.
