Сегодня поговорим про Doom, а точнее про один из модов к нему.

Все это есть в моде Brutal DOOM, выпущенном в 2010 году.

Brutal DOOM содержит несколько нововведений, которые являются основными причинами его популярности.

Если вам показалось мало моих доводов, послушайте создателя оригинального Doom Джона Ромеро, который очень положительно отзывался о моде, сказав, что если бы они выпустили вместо обычного Дум - Brutal DOOM, то они просто сломали бы индустрию!

В архиве вас ждёт сам Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom Plutonia Experiment, а также Brutal Doom, о котором и была статья.

Но это было не так удобно до появления QML, который сделал вёрстку в Qt в разы быстрее и удобней.

Это позволяет работать на разных OSКогда мы разрабатываем на Qt под Android, то, по сути, пишем десктопное приложение.

Так как Qt это приложение С++, у него есть функция main — точка входа, как у любого приложения, — и куча наших исходников из библиотеки Qt.

Тем более что на Qt у нас уже было приложение под десктоп, Windows Mobile и под старый Android.

Как вообще «въезжать» в Qt в своей команде?

В этой подборке, в отличие от многих других, публиковавшихся ранее, есть системы, которые не совсем похожи на традиционные миниатюрные компьютеры.

Так что если тема мини-ПК интересна — прошу под кат.Это мини-ПК с AMD Ryzen 7030U “Barcelo-R”, процессором с ядрами Zen 3 и графикой Radeon Vega.

К сожалению, ни стоимость девайса, ни дата его выхода на рынок неизвестны.Зато известно, что его размеры составляют всего 115 x 115 x 49 мм.

Он меньше по размеру и не такой производительный, как его «коллега», модель PN53.

Но устройство появится в продаже в ближайшее время.Список портов и разъемов:Еще один мини-ПК от тайваньской компании ECS.

Разработчики машинного перевода часто рассказывают об использовании предварительно обученных моделей.

Весь код завязан на работу с моделями и датасетами через huggingface.

Чтобы воспроизвести этот перевод, нужно запустить всё тот же translate_m2m.py, но уже с моделью local_model .

Стоит отметить, что подобные истории очень требовательны к ресурсам, и не на каждой видеокарте данный код запустится.

И если у первых проблем с поиском так и так нет, то вторым как раз и нужна помощь больше всего.

А если будешь ломать себя через колено, то и человека всё-равно потом разочаруешь, и сам в дурку угодишь.

Непопулярные персоны почти не получают внимания, а то и вовсе никого не находят долгое время.

А если у пары всё хорошо - не надо отвлекать их друг от друга, пока они сами не решат продолжить поиски.

Да, выбор получится скудный, но если твоя задача найти партнёра, а не набрать фолловеров, то важнее качество, а не количество.

Чтобы стать экспертом в области DevOps, нужно получить опыт работы с Linux и облачными платформами, выучить языки программирования, освоить инструменты автоматизации и виртуализации.Для тех, кто хочет развиваться в сфере DevOps, дорожная карта станет полезным инструментом.

Внедрение DevOps в рабочий процесс компании поможет как разработчикам, так и операционщикам выдохнуть, а не работать на износ в постоянной гонке за дедлайнами.Ключевую роль во внедрении методологии DevOps и обеспечении ее работы играет DevOps-инженер.Основные задачи DevOps-инженера:Девопсер — многопрофильный специалист.

Вполне закономерно он предложил использовать для кодировки символов не последовательности из сигналов высокого уровня (тире и точка), а пятибитные «пакеты», состоящие из «нулей» и «единиц».

Его код, известный как «код Бодо», получил широкое распространение в телеграфии и в течение многих лет оставался стандартом де-факто.

ASCII стала восприниматься как половина 8-битной кодировки, а «расширенным ASCII» стали называть ASCII с задействованным 8-м битом (например, КОИ-8).

В конце концов, псевдографические игры (в которых вся графика состоит из символов) писались зачастую только из-за ограниченных особенностей компьютеров.

Вся игровая графика составлена из ASCII-символов и в первые секунды вызы…

Даром что архитектура ARM, а не x86, но фактически это означает, что в "маску" встроен полноценный "макбук".

- Кодзима получасом ранее говорил о "портировании своих игр на MacOS", а это значит возможность запуска полноценных "консольных" игр на шлеме.

А что VR игры то?

Apple не делают Steam VR комбайн, Apple делают iPhone для мира XR (даже не VR!).

А это значит, что большие полноценные премиумные VR игры - это не 1 и даже не 2 приоритет (но они, конечно, будут появляться, т.к.

И, по сути, главное новшество — виджеты, которые теперь можно размещать прямо на рабочем столе.

Это возможно благодаря Continuity — той же функции, с помощью которой айфон можно использовать как веб-камеру на маках с M1 и M2.

Например, конфетти будут летать не только перед вами, но и за вами.

И если игры — это не только про Sonoma, то вот игровой режим — про неё.

Как только будет активирован такой режим, система будет давать приоритет именно игре, чтобы ничего не тормозило и не лагало.

Переключиться на экран виджетов можно прямо с основного циферблата.

Виджеты собираются в аккуратные стопки и таким образом не захламляют экран и не отвлекают внимание.

Но пользователи, которые уже установили бету watchOS 10, пишут, что всё на месте, только вместо огромной «соты» теперь что-то более напоминающее прокручиваемый список с иконками.

Во-вторых, все данные по велотренировке можно будет вывести и на экран iPhone.

Обновиться на watchOS 10 в сентябре смогут обладатели следующих версий часов:

И вот для анонсированной вчера XR-гарнитуры Apple Vision Pro уже последовали первые аксессуары.

Новости Apple Vision Pro — что это такое?

Аксессуары представила немецкая контора BandWerk, которая делает кожаные чехлы для iPhone и ремешки для Apple Watch.

Вот и для Vision Pro тоже появились кожаные версии.

BandWerk выпустит аксессуары для Vision Pro сразу после выхода гарнитуры.

Сравнивать ноутбуки нужно вживую, но по сухим цифрам Air 15 смотрится не сильно крупнее по сравнению с Air 13, хотя почти 300 граммов лишнего веса, конечно, будут ощутимы.

MacBook Air 13: толщина 1,13 см, ширина 30,41 см, высота 21,5 см, вес 1,24 кг.

MacBook Air 15: толщина 1,15 см, ширина 34,04 см, высота 23,76 см, вес 1,51 кг.

Но если Air 13 в «базе» получает M2 с 8-ядерным процессором и 8-ядерной графикой, то у Air 15 уже 8-ядерный проц и 10-ядерная графика.

Но если хочется, то и к Air с 13-дюймовым экраном можно получить один из двух блоков питания, доплатив $20.

Релизная версия iOS 17 выйдет в сентябре.

Я облегчу себе задачу:Все iPad Pro, начиная со второго поколения, который вышел в 2017 году.

Все iPad Air, начиная с третьего поколения.

То есть самая старая модель из этого семейства вышла в 2018 году.

То есть её получат все часы, которые были представлены в 2018 году или позже.

От iPadOS 17 никто не ждал прорывных изменений, их и не произошло.

Тут тебе и Live Photo с анимацией, и эмоджи, и динамические уведомления.

Хочется отметить, что на экране планшета это смотрится гораздо органичнее, чем на iPhone — сказывается размер экрана.

В теории больше не придётся бегать за телефоном, что не может не радовать.

Ничего такого, чего хотелось бы прямо здесь и сейчас, можно в целом потерпеть до полноценного релиза осенью.

Apple Vision Pro получила простой трёхмерный интерфейс, который управляется руками, взглядом и голосом.

В пресс-релизе Vision Pro называется «иммерсивным компьютером», но её упорно сравнивают с VR-гарнитурами, что в корне ошибочно.

Разрешение на глаз составляет 2880 × 2720 пикселей, когда у Apple Vision Pro «4К на глаз».

Это персональный кинозал, это иммерсивная камера, это огроменный виртуальный монитор, в случае с No Man’s Sky это, вероятно, ещё и игровая станция (я полагаю, что гарнитура будет поддерживать её).

Да и то, что мы не увидели фотографии и видео топов Apple в этой гарнитуре, тоже выглядит крайне так себе.

Релиз iOS 17 про коммуникацию.

Настраивать карточку своего контакта можно точно так же, как и экран блокировки в iOS 17.

Вероятно, для реализации потребуется активный чип U1, запуск которого в России так и не состоялся.

Кстати, в iOS 17 появится полноценный горизонтальный режим!

iOS 17 будет доступна примерно через неделю после презентации новых айфонов в сентябре.

Сразу два решения для профессионалов представила Apple — Mac Studio и Mac Pro.

Mac Studio теперь поддерживает дисплеи разрешением до 8К, частоту кадров до 240 Гц, а объединённой памяти — до 192 ГБ.

Помимо Mac Studio, Apple представила и Mac Pro, завершив переход с Intel на собственные системы-на-чипе.

Новый Mac Pro может работать сразу с семью этими картами!

Цены на Mac Studio начинаются с $1999, а на Mac Pro — c $6999 в вертикальном дизайне «тёрки» и от $7599 за варианты, которые вы можете интегрировать в рэковую стойку.

Многие ждали и, наконец, получили: MacBook Air увеличили до 15 дюймов.

Яркость до 500 нит, до 1 млрд цветов.

Внутри без особых изменений: M2, который в 12 раз быстрее самого мощного Air на Intel.

Цена начинается с $1299, то есть всего на $200 дороже 13-дюймовой версии, которая на WWDC 2023 успела подешеветь на $100.

В продажу 15,3-дюймовый MacBook Air поступит уже на следующей неделе.

Несколько недель назад «Алиса» резко «поумнела» — в голосового помощника интегрировали текстовую нейросеть YandexGPT (YaLM 2.0).

Сегодня разработчики выпустили подробный рассказ о ходе работ над проектом, а также анонсировали первое крупное обновление языковой модели.

На предыдущем этапе YandexGPT, грубо говоря, научили быть «Алисой», то есть корректно отвечать на запросы пользователей от имени цифрового ассистента.

Несмотря на то что нейросеть способна работать с текстами объёмом до 40 тысяч символов, решили установить лимит в 10 тысяч символов (или 50 запросов) — иначе падала скорость генерации.

В дальнейшем подобные инструменты будут интегрированы и в другие сервисы «Яндекса».

Российский магазин приложений для Android RuStore запустил функцию монетизации для самозанятых. Получение средств проходит через b2b-сервис «VK Pay самозанятые». Об этом RB.RU рассказали в пресс-службе VK.

Представим, что мы уже научились искать идеи и правильно ставить цели при постановке гипотезы. Что делать дальше и как понять, что дело «выгорело»?

Виктория Аргышева, сооснователь и креативный директор «Норм агентства», и другие предприниматели постарались ответить на эти вопросы — они поделились лайфхаками о самом процессе тестирования: оценке сформулированных гипотез, их тесте и анализе результатов.

Выходцы из VK создали сообщество UnionVK для выпускников группы. Цель проекта — обмен опытом и контактами для запуска компаний, привлечения инвестиций и развития карьеры. Об этом RB.RU рассказали организаторы сообщества.

Армянские, казахские и гонконгские банки из-за риска санкций начали блокировать оплату по товарной номенклатуре за серверы, микросхемы, процессоры, телекоммуникационное оборудование и другую электронику для юрлиц из России. Об этом пишет «Коммерсантъ».

В 2022 году почти 70% компаний нарастили выручку: каждая третья из них увеличила показатель минимум на 50%. Активнее всего росли компании из сферы гостиничного бизнеса и общепита, культуры и из области образования.

Кажется, сегодня есть приложения буквально на все случаи жизни — даже если они не слишком нам нужны. Почему это произошло и чем это грозит, рассуждает Эмили Стюарт из Vox.

Опубликован выпуск проекта Owncast 0.1.0, развивающего сервер для организации потокового вещания видео (стриминга, один вещает - многие смотрят) и чата с аудиторией. Сервер запускается на оборудовании пользователя и в отличие от сервисов Twitch, Facebook Live и YouTube Live, позволяет полностью контролировать процесс вещания и задавать свои правила общения в чате. Управление и взаимодействие с пользователями производится через web-интерфейс. Код проекта написан на языке Go и распространяется под лицензией MIT.

Опубликован первый значительный выпуск проекта Blink, развивающего эмулятор процессоров x86-64, позволяющий запускать статически и динамически собранные Linux-приложения в виртуальной машине с эмулируемым процессором. При помощи Blink cобранные для архитектуры x86-64 Linux-программы можно запускать в других POSIX-совместимых операционных системах (macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Cygwin) и на оборудовании с другой аппаратной архитектурой (x86, ARM, RISC-V, MIPS, PowerPC, s390x). Код проекта написан на языке Си (ANSI C11) и распространяется под лицензией ISC. Из зависимостей требуется только libc (POSIX.1-2017).

Представлен релиз Zulip 7, серверной платформы для развёртывания корпоративных мессенджеров, подходящих для организации общения сотрудников и групп разработчиков. Проект изначально был разработан компанией Zulip и открыт после её поглощения компанией Dropbox под лицензией Apache 2.0. Код серверной части написан на языке Python с использованием фреймворка Django. Клиентское ПО доступно для Linux, Windows, macOS, Android и iOS, также предоставляется встроенный web-интерфейс.

В поставляемой с 2018 года серии серверных процессоров AMD EPYC 7002 ("Rome"), построенных на базе микроархитектуры "Zen 2", выявлена ошибка, в результате которой процессор зависает после 1044 дней непрерывной работы. В качестве обходных путей блокирования проблемы рекомендуется отключить поддержку энергосберегающего режима CC6 или перезагружать сервер до наступления 1044 дней непрерывной работы (примерно 2 года 10 месяцев).

Маттиас Класен (Matthias Clasen), лидер Fedora Desktop Team и участник GNOME Release Team, сообщил о решении компании Red Hat прекратить поставку RPM-пакетов с LibreOffice в следующей значительной ветке дистрибутива Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, а также ограничить своё участие в разработке пакетов с LibreOffice для Fedora, сопровождением которых ранее занимались работники Red Hat. Пользователям желающим установить LibreOffice будет предложено использовать пакеты в формате Flatpak.

После трёх месяцев разработки опубликован выпуск распределенной системы управления исходными текстами Git 2.41.

Git является одной из самых популярных, надёжных и высокопроизводительных систем управления версиями, предоставляющей гибкие средства нелинейной разработки, базирующиеся на ответвлении и слиянии веток.

Напомним, что Git хранит все данные в форме объектов, которые размещаются в отдельных файлах.

Ранее для получения подобной информации требовалось выполнить две отдельные команды: "git rev-list --count main..my-feature" для получения числа уникальных для ветки коммитов и "git rev-list --count my-feature..main" для получения числа отсутствующих коммитов.

В команде "git clone --local" …

Исследователи из компании Eclypsium выявили аномальное поведение на системах с материнскими платами тайваньской компании Gigabyte Technology. Используемая в платах прошивка UEFI без информирования пользователя во время загрузки системы осуществляла подстановку и запуск исполняемого файла для платформы Windows. В свою очередь, запущенный исполняемый файл загружал из сети и запускал сторонние исполняемые файлы. Дальнейший разбор ситуации показал, что идентичное поведение проявляется на сотнях разных моделей плат Gigabyte и связано с работой поставляемого компанией приложения App Сenter.

Компания Google представила релиз web-браузера Chrome 114.

Основные изменения в Chrome 114: Расширены возможности менеджера паролей (Google Password Manager), который теперь оформлен в виде PWA-приложения (Progressive Web App) и доступен через страницу "chrome://password-manager".

В настройки добавлена опция для помещения отдельного ярлыка на рабочий стол для быстрого открытия обособленного интерфейса менеджера паролей.

what is discord nitro?

discord nitro is a paid subscription service that discord offers to generate revenue.

nitro provides a few functional perks - larger upload sizes, better voice quality, etc; and a few aesthetic perks - animated avatars, cross-server emoji usage, and "super reactions" this post is mostly about the aesthetic perks.

from the perspective of users who do _not_ have discord nitro, nitro users have _aesthetics_ that the underclass are not capable of having.

We’ve never met. We’ve never talked. And still, I feel confident telling you that the Vision Pro isn’t for you. At the end of the day, it’s an odds game. You’re most people, and it’s therefore not for you. If you know one thing about the headset, it’s probably the fact that it’s $3,500. When […]

CUPERTINO, Calif.—People have been asking for a 15-inch MacBook Air for about as long as the Air has existed.

I spent a few minutes handling and using the 15-inch MacBook Air and—surprise!

It’s just like the most recent 13-inch Air but wider and taller.

It’s all stuff we talked about in our 13-inch MacBook Air review last year.

The 15-inch Air was just as thin as its 13-inch cousin (which Apple still sells, of course).

CUPERTINO, Calif.—Going into the Vision Pro demo room at Apple’s WWDC conference, I wasn’t sure what to expect.

That was not my experience with Vision Pro.

When the headset goes on sale, you’ll be able to use your iPhone to do all this while ordering Vision Pro online.

In typical Apple fashion, the company wants Vision Pro users to throw money at the problem.

It seems that this will be part of the buying process for Vision Pro.

The Food and Drug Administration has withdrawn authorization for Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine, ending its short-lived but troubled existence amid the pandemic.

The beginning of the end for the once-promising single-dose vaccine came just weeks after its FDA authorization on February 27, 2021.

Meanwhile, US production of the vaccine was mired by the scandal surrounding Emergent BioSolutions, a government contractor that ruined tens of millions of J&J COVID-19 vaccine doses due to quality-control problems and contamination.

In December of 2021, the CDC downgraded J&J's vaccine, saying that the mRNA-based vaccines should be the preferred vaccines against COVID-19.

That's according to a declaration by the Australian Federal Court on Monday.

On June 5, the Federal Court said Dell Australia was guilty of making "false or misleading representations with respect to the price" of monitors that its website encouraged shoppers to add to their purchase.

The Australian Federal Court ordered Dell Australia to give full or partial refunds to affected customers.

The Australian Federal Court will take comment on further penalties Dell Australia should incur, which could include fines, at a future date.

Just because a Dell monitor, for example, is technically discounted from its recent MSRP, it doesn't mean it's the best value among monitors with similar specs.

Apple doesn't want the ubiquitous photos of bearded-guys-with-mouth-agape that became a mainstay of early Oculus Rift coverage a decade ago.

Apple doesn't want Craig Federighi prancing barefoot across the cover of Time Magazine.

Apple doesn't want to recreate that image of Mark Zuckerberg gliding blithely by an auditorium of oblivious people strapped into headsets.

But if the eyes are the windows to the soul, Vision Pro is an extra-dark layer of tint.

And Apple is going to unusually great lengths to ensure that Vision Pro becomes the next Apple Watch or AirPod, and not another Google Glass.

Following up on Google's rollout of passkey support for consumer Google accounts in May, Google has now extended password-less login to Google Workspace business accounts.

Google calls the Workspace rollout an "Open Beta" and says "more than 9 million organizations can allow their users to sign in to Google Workspace and Google Cloud accounts using passkeys instead of passwords."

If you have not heard, passkeys are a new password replacement, with backing from Google, Apple, and Microsoft.

Most Passkey implementations make a portable device, typically your phone, a requirement for logging in, even if you're using a PC.

It sounds like business Workspace users will be able to use passkeys as …

On Tuesday, a Reddit user named "nhciao" posted a series of artistic QR codes created using the Stable Diffusion AI image-synthesis model that can still be read as functional QR codes by smartphone camera apps.

QR codes, short for Quick Response codes, are two-dimensional barcodes initially designed for the automotive industry in Japan.

Next, they fed existing QR codes into the Stable Diffusion AI image generator and used ControlNet to maintain the QR code's data positioning despite synthesizing an image around it, likely using a written prompt.

This interesting use of Stable Diffusion is possible because of the innate error correction feature built into QR codes.

Microsoft will pay $20 million to settle an FTC complaint that its Xbox platform illegally collected and retained information about children without their parents' consent, in violation of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

According to the FTC complaint in the matter, Microsoft's Xbox account sign-up process asked children under 13 for their name, date of birth, email address, and phone number, all before parents got involved in the sign-up process.

Instead Microsoft included these specifics in a Privacy Statement, which the FTC says was akin to "sending parents off on what amounted to a DIY errand."

The FTC will put a monitoring regime in place to ensure that Microsoft …

The space industry has seen a dramatic uptick in the number of satellites launched into low-Earth orbit in recent years.

It's important to realize how much the environment in low-Earth orbit has changed over the last five years.

Only four years ago, there were about 2,500 satellites in low-Earth orbit, and there are about 7,000 today.

One of the biggest issues facing policymakers concerns sharing tracking data for satellites and debris objects in space.

Privateer Space is trying to help with this issue by creating a data infrastructure to monitor and clean up space debris.

A page on Apple's developer site outlines what Apple will do between now and Vision Pro's launch to help developers get their apps ready.

Most notably, the company will offer a Vision Pro developer kit, which will be hardware that will "provide the ability to quickly build, iterate, and test on Apple Vision Pro so your app or game will be ready to deliver amazing experiences."

For those who can't or don't want to spring for a Vision Pro dev kit, Apple will also host developer labs in six cities (Cupertino, London, Munich, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo) where the company will offer "direct support" to developers who want to test Vision Pro apps.

All versions of the Tesla Model 3 sedan now qualify for the full IRS clean vehicle tax credit.

Until the end of 2022, the IRS offered a tax credit of up to $7,500 for qualifying plug-in vehicles.

Now the tax credit applies to clean vehicles rather than plug-in vehicles, allowing a credit for hydrogen fuel cell EVs as well as plug-in hybrid and battery EVs.

As before, it's a tax credit, so the filer needs to have at least as large a tax liability as the credit.

And when Tesla reintroduced the Model 3 Long Range at the beginning of May, it, too, qualified for half the tax credit.

That makes Immortal Thor’s title both a promise of intriguing things to come, and a daunting challenge to match the towering reputation of Ewing’s magnum opus.

I think you can have a Thor run that’s entirely one or entirely the other, and that’d be a great Thor run, but whoever was following you would have to swing that pendulum back.

If Immortal Hulk was the hero as divine horror, and your Avengers was the hero as rollicking action serial, what’s the approach you’re taking to Immortal Thor?

It’s been a rough ride for NASA’s Psyche mission even before the spacecraft has had a chance to leave the ground.

Psyche was originally scheduled to launch in August 2022 to explore the metal-rich asteroid 16 Psyche.

The fate of that mission still hangs in the balance even as Psyche gears up for its new launch date.

Reddit is in for a rude awakening, just ask some of its most popular subreddits.

To protest Reddit’s recent plan to charge for access to its API, some of the platform’s biggest communities will be going dark for at least two days.

Despite what the commercials, trailers, and posters are telling you, The Flash is not a movie about Batman or Supergirl.

But, as the title succinctly suggests, The Flash is very much about “The Flash,” and those other characters are there merely to enrich a very personal story with the type of big- screen bombast fans expect from summer superhero movies.

That may seem like a lot of cooks in the kitchen and the movie does, at times, feel like that.

Most superhero movies can get you to cheer, but not many can move you to tears, and that’s the ultimate superpower of The Flash.

“Now there’s nearly a million streams on the site.”Sayman’s site is AI Hits.

The conversation around AI music has largely been frenzied and shot through with hand-wringing over What It All Means and What It All Portends.

With its notable fealty to the real thing, the Drake-mimicking “Heart on My Sleeve” became the first “hit” of the AI music era, and various versions of it dominate AI Hits.

Looking back, I believe I can pinpoint the exact day I loved Twitter most: May 24, 2011.

I never thought of rebooting my social media presence elsewhere until Elon Musk completed his $44 billion takeover of Twitter last fall.

For the briefest of moments, everyone seemed to agree that this brainy successor was destined to save social media.

But the enthusiasm quickly waned as people struggled to navigate the platform’s sprawling “Fediverse,” and the Twitter exodus flowed elsewhere.

Media obsessives gravitated toward Post, a news-heavy platform founded by Noam Bardin, the former CEO of Waze.

Kanal is a worker under the Indian government’s Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005, or MGNREGA, which gives rural workers a guaranteed income for working on public infrastructure project, such as roads, wells and dams.

With 266.3 million registered workers and 144.3 million active ones, it is probably the largest employment scheme in the world.

Until last year, workers’ attendance at their jobs was often marked on a physical muster roll by a village employment guarantee assistant or worksite supervisor.

The official on site now has to upload pictures of workers to the system to prove their attendance.

Elon Musk owns Twitter.

On April 4th, 2022, we learned that Musk had purchased enough shares of Twitter to become its largest individual shareholder.

Twitter accepted Musk’s offer, but then things got weird because he tried to cancel the deal.

Since then, there have been layoffs, more layoffs, and even more layoffs — plus drama over Substack, unpaid bills, and blue checkmarks.

With ad revenue still down from previous years, Elon finally abdicated the role of CEO, installing longtime NBCUniversal ad executive Linda Yaccarino starting on June 5th.

When Twitter finally added its long-awaited edit button last fall, it limited the feature to Twitter Blue subscribers and only allowed changes on original tweets (not replies) within 30 minutes of the post, but now that’s changing.

The official Twitter Blue account now says that the tweet editing window has been doubled to one hour.

The post announcing the feature was edited moments after it went live to note the change but, confusingly, didn’t add any other edits past the thirty-minute mark to demonstrate.

Twitter’s editing perk for Blue subscribers package arrived after Elon Musk said he would buy Twitter, but well before he actually did.

Twitter’s support page for Blue was updated shortl…

For the first time, it will take place in Seoul, South Korea.

Like other recent summer Unpacked events, expect the 2023 iteration to focus on foldables.

“The foldable category embodies Samsung’s philosophy of delivering innovation that pushes boundaries to reshape the future of mobile experiences,” TM Roh, Samsung’s president and head of its mobile experience business, said in a statement.

But former and current podcast employees at Spotify have seen the writing on the wall for some time.

[The layoffs] were more just a matter of when.”It’s been more than a year since Spotify first eliminated its namesake podcast production unit.

Last fall, Spotify laid off dozens of Gimlet and Parcast workers and pulled 11 original shows from production.

High-profile executives such as content chief Dawn Ostroff (who steered Spotify’s podcast operations) have left.

Gimlet blew up largely due to its original shows, which helped define the podcast boom.

Apple’s AirTag item trackers are about to get more useful — with iOS 17, you’ll be able to share them and other Find My objects with up to five other people, the company has quietly revealed.

That means you can begin tracking communal property, not just wholly personal items.

What about the Apple TV remote we duct-taped an AirTag to because it unfortunately still does not come with a UWB locator of its own?

Other communal property, like a Find My-equipped coffee mug, might make a little more sense, too.

But if you’ve agreed to accept someone’s shared AirTag, that AirTag won’t alert you.

Despite some hints toward a possible Apple smart display with its new StandBy feature for iPhones, Apple’s WWDC was underwhelming for the smart home.

But Apple did announce one noteworthy addition, Siri will soon handle “multiple commands” in succession without you having to say its name again.

However, it’s also another example of how Apple is still playing catch-up in the smart home.

Apple also announced that PIN codes and tap-to-unlock are now available for Matter-compatible smart locks (of which there is currently one).

For Apple Home users, Matter has the potential to bring Apple’s smart home platform up to par with the competition when it comes to compatible devices — another place Ap…

The Flash builds on the lightning-bathed superspeed motif first established in Justice League by slowing motion down and isolating Barry in physics-defying pockets of action designed to catch the eye and evoke the feel of a comic book.

And the film’s messages about missing departed loved ones are about as touching as your average drugstore condolence card.

But The Flash knows that it isn’t really cooking with heat, which is likely why it spends so much time masquerading as a Batman film starring Michael Keaton.

Similar to how The Flash would rather you see the Justice League cameos as evidence of a thriving cinematic franchise that doesn’t exactly exist, the alternate r…

If you want to try out iOS 17, watchOS 10, or macOS Sonoma developer betas right now, you no longer have to pay for Apple’s developer program to be able to do so.

Will Epic ever release the completely free version of Unreal Tournament 3 that mysteriously appeared on Steam nearly six months ago?

It’s looking less likely — because yesterday, while we were distracted with a shiny new Apple headset, the company purged mentions of the new “Unreal Tournament 3 X” from Valve’s digital distribution platform.

Instead, Epic seemingly overhauled its listing for the original Unreal Tournament 3 (from 2007!)

From a purely technical perspective, I had the same experience using the new Apple Vision Pro that most others who have tried it seem to.

For all its potential and Apple’s lofty rhetoric, the Vision Pro is a television — and an extremely Apple-y one at that.

But for the company that is forever trying to push the boundaries of what technology does and how you interact with it, the Vision Pro feels much more in keeping with Apple’s vision.

PlayStation Plus’s free June games roll out for all subscribers today.

The newest lineup of titles include, as is tradition, a multiplayer title and two single-player titles.

This month they are NBA 2K23, Jurassic World Evolution 2 and Trek to Yomi.

The second game is Jurassic World Evolution 2, the sequel sim game that challenges gamers to try their hand at building a better, safer version of Jurassic World than existed in the film universe (not that that’s a high bar to clear).

This marks the first time it’s available for PlayStation users on a subscription service, as it was available on Game Pass at launch.

In June of 2022, Google Trends reported that search interest in the term “Will AI take my job” registered at zero.

The finger can be firmly pointed at Open AI’s ChatGPT, a generative AI platform.

For all of its popularity and ease of use, the rise of generative AI has also sparked widespread concerns.

Many feel that the role of current generative AI tools is less about replacing jobs, but to act as an assistant to workers.

This job will suit someone who is passionate about AI and mathematics, with a track record of launching outstanding AI products.

The first games to join Arcade in June is App Store title Bold Moves+, a Match-3/word puzzle title that joins on June 9.

They’re the first games to join Arcade since Apple released its glut of titles at the beginning of May.

On June 23, Retro Bowl+ and Retro Goal+, both from New Star Games, join the growing list of sports-based games on Arcade.

In addition to this month’s games, Apple also announced that at least one Apple Arcade game was among the winners of its 2023 Design Awards.

Apple Arcade didn’t have a large part of this year’s WWDC announcements, but Apple did reveal that its Vision Pro headset is compatible with Arcade titles.

Learn MoreAt a time when AI is all the rage, a new survey from GE Healthcare has highlighted a significant level of distrust and skepticism around its use in medical settings.

Specifically, 55% of survey respondents said AI technology is not yet ready for medical use and 58% implied that they do not trust AI data.

For clinicians with more than 16 years of experience, the skepticism level was even higher, with 67% lacking trust in AI.

And if that's the case, the cost -- before taxes -- for Vision Pro will sit right at $4,000.

These concerns are not unique to Temu, with most digital platforms collecting user information to varying degrees.

Alarmingly, Temu’s data collection doesn’t end there.

Given Temu’s ties to China, this extensive data collection raises eyebrows, as the country is often viewed with skepticism due to its controversial data privacy practices.

Problems leading to Google suspending Temu’s sister app have caused the U.S. to accuse the company of potential data risks.

In many companies, women report experiencing ‘microaggressions that undermine their authority,’ making it harder for them to advance.

To that end, many initiatives and organizations are working to address these barriers and support women in technology leadership positions.

However, despite these efforts, technology leadership still overlooks women.

There are also external organizations working to promote women in technology leadership.

For example, Women in Technology International (WITI) is a global organization dedicated to empowering women in technology.

Zero- and first-party data have been and always will be fundamental components of marketers’ toolkit to create personalized marketing campaigns.

Once marketers collect first-party data, they can then leverage the consumer data when focusing on personalizing the omnichannel experience.

1Password passkey support for the web dropped today in the form of public beta versions of its extension for Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.

1Password already added passkey support to its apps for the Mac, iOS, and other platforms.

Browser extension support makes using passkeys in 1Password as seamless as iCloud Keychain on the Mac.

1Password has been working on full passkey support since it was first announced by the FIDO Alliance which includes Apple.

1Password users can access the public beta for the browser extension with passkey support here.

Unlike watchOS 10, which has a completely new interface, iOS 17 has kept the same design language as previous versions of iOS.

But even without major changes, Apple has slightly refreshed the interface of an important native app: Podcasts.

What’s new with Apple Podcasts app in iOS 17The new Apple Podcasts design in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 is not exactly new.

In fact, while Apple had updated the Now Playing screen of the Apple Music app last year with iOS 16, Apple Podcasts remained with its old, flat interface.

But with iOS 17, Apple is bringing the same interface that already exists in Apple Music to Apple Podcasts, which makes the app feel more modern and fresh.

Read on as we detail how Game Mode and Game Porting Tool work.

Game Porting ToolRunning Windows games on macOS is not exactly a new thing.

There are platforms like Wine and Crossover that translate APIs from Microsoft’s operating system so that Mac computers can run Windows software.

After using Game Porting Tool to test a Windows game on macOS, developers can use new tools to convert DirectX graphics to Metal.

Game ModeIn addition to the Game Porting Tool, developers can take advantage of Game Mode, which is built into macOS Sonoma.

macOS Sonoma, or macOS 14, was announced at WWDC 2023 with new features for Mac users.

But in addition to these features, macOS Sonoma comes with new wallpapers, such as those shown in the marketing images of the 15-inch MacBook Air.

And macOS Sonoma has a new wallpaper inspired by the landscapes of Sonoma.

At the event, Apple announced a new 15-inch MacBook Air.

Google is now planning to release more YouTube Music apps and integrations for third-party devices.

There’s already YouTube Music on iPhone and iPad, while a “Music” experience lives inside the main YouTube for TV app (as seen below).

Google is now planning a separate YouTube Music app for Apple TV that should allow for more direct access, starting with a dedicated app icon.

This comes as Apple at WWDC announced Siri support for AirPlay on HomePod, with YouTube Music shown as a partner.

Meanwhile, on the wearable front, we’ve learned that a YouTube Music app for Garmin smartwatches is planned.

Here’s what iOS 17 Contact Posters look like and how to customize the font, image, and background for yourself as well as your friends and family.

Apple is taking customization further with iOS 17 as it brings the new StandBy smart display feature to iPhone along with the new Contact Posters.

Here’s how Apple describes the new custom contact cards:“The Phone app is central to the iPhone experience, and it receives a big update with personalized Contact Posters, providing a new way for users to express themselves.

Contact Posters will also be available for third-party calling apps.”Note: iOS 17 is only available as a developer beta for now.

What do you think about iOS 17 Contact Posters?

One of the improvements not mentioned by Apple is with group chats in iMessage that contain users on Android.

While this upgrade is sadly not RCS, iOS 17 does keep most iMessage features working when the group includes someone on Android.

The good thing here is that, clearly, iPhone users will benefit from better group chats regardless of who is in the group.

However, the side effect that they won’t see is that Android users will, in some ways, get a worse experience because of this.

As detailed by our colleagues at 9to5Mac, iMessage in iOS 17 will also improve group chats by automatically scrolling to the last unread message, something that should be very helpful for group chats with lots …

For years, access to the iOS developer beta and other developer builds has only been available through a $99/year developer account.

Earlier today I noted that many users were seeing the option to install the iOS 17 developer beta despite not having a developer account.

It seemed like it was a bug with the iOS 17 beta rollout, but as it turns out, it’s intentional.

That makes sense why the iOS 17 Developer Beta is showing up for all users under Settings > General > Software Update.

Here’s a look at the differences between the $99/year Apple Developer Program and just using your Apple ID:

iOS 17 and watchOS 10 introduce a new way to easily swap contact information between iPhones, Apple Watches, or both.

iOS 17 introduces a widely requested feature to the Contacts app in the form of a new pronouns field.

Once doing so, your pronoun preferences will be shared along with your other contact information when you trade cards with someone.

“They are not shared with Apple or third-party developers.”You can find the new pronouns field on iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and watchOS 10.

Plugging right into your machine, the new Satechi Pro Slim Hub provides seven essential ports over a USB 4 interface.

All M2 and M1 MacBook laptops including M2/ M1 MacBook Pro (Pro & Max) 14-inch, 16-inch, M2/ M1 MacBook Air.

Then Apple revealed the new 15-inch M2 MacBook Air – returning the new Satechi Pro Slim Hub to the spotlight.

For starters, there are the matching colorways that the Satechi Pro Slim Hub comes in.

All of these features lead me back to the Satechi Pro Slim Hub being the perfect addition to your new 15-inch MacBook Pro.

And if you don’t want to wait for iOS 17 to get the new wallpaper, you can download it right here.

The new default wallpaper for iOS 17 is abstract with gradients in different shades of red, orange, pink, and blue.

In addition to the new default wallpaper, Apple has added new dynamic wallpapers to iOS 17.

Need more evidence that Apple is developing a mixed reality headset?

Look no further than Apple’s latest acquisition, an augmented reality headset startup.

Regarding the news, Apple supplied its boilerplate statement that weirdly translates to mean yes, we bought a company.

The Verge says an Apple spokesperson declined to comment on the company’s plans for those military contracts, although no one expects Apple to uphold them.

Mira’s headset displays virtual characters and items from the game to augment the ride as you progress through it.

But iPadOS 17 brings an even more significant improvement.

The update adds support for most external webcams and microphones connected via the USB-C port.

iPadOS 17 lets you use external webcams and microphonesDuring the WWDC 2023 opening keynote, Apple demonstrated how users can plug their iPad into Studio Display and use its built-in webcam and microphone.

With iPadOS 17, apps can rotate video from both external and built-in cameras, let users choose audio input, provide echo cancellation optimizations, and more.

The first beta of iPadOS 17 is now available to developers.

Following the announcement of Vision Pro at WWDC yesterday, Apple is providing more details about the headset itself and the visionOS software platform in developer sessions.

In a session on Tuesday, called “Design for spatial input,” Apple showcased two ways to interact with Vision Pro: a floating in-air keyboard and pairing a keyboard via Bluetooth.

Text input has been one of the most common questions about Vision Pro so far.

In this WWDC session for developers, Apple points out two ways users can input text with Vision Pro.

For more details on Vision Pro and visionOS, be sure to check out my full hands-on experience with the product.

Apple действительно показали свои новые очки дополненной реальности. Акцент только на дополненную (не виртуальную реальность), очень красивая железка с великолепными по нынешним представлениям характеристиками. Но цена $3499 — это прямо ОЧЕНЬ много, что превращает новое устройство в нишевое. Даже жаль потраченных денег, ведь мне-то все равно придется купить. Хорошо, что до релиза в магазинах, похоже, еще целый год.

Если вы такой же старый как и я, вы помните чудесные раскладные телефоны от Моторолы. И совсем не удивительно что их новые раскладушки на андроиде тоже довольно привлекательны - внешний и внутренний дисплей, внутренний размером почти 7 дюймов. Разрешение экранов маловато, но тем не менее выглядит красиво, правда за 999 долларов https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/1/23744843/motorola-razr-plus-2023-screen-price-cameras

Мета показывает релизный трейлер Meta Quest 3. Запустится в этом году но ближе к зиме, в два раза тоньше Quest 2, в два раза быстрее по графике но с почти таким же дисплеем к сожалению.

У Блумберга первый обзор на прототипы Meta Quest 3. И мне кажется он грустный, потому что устройство стало компактнее, легче, быстрее но самое главное - графика не изменилась, разрешение экранов все еще очень небольшое.

Внезапно все камеры в планшетбуках microsoft Surface Pro X перестали работать. По слухам, проблема в истекшем сертификате. Если это так — невероятно, как майкрософт вообще умудрился упустить такое.

Интересных новостей на этой неделе мало. Но вот вам забавная: Logitech анонсировали довольно интересную докстанцию для ноутбуков с usb-c (читай, “для макбуков”). У докстанции своя особая идея, это станция для рабочих мест с двумя экранами, за которые может сесть несколько разных сотрудников. Такое рабочее место можно забронировать через отдельное приложение, и на небольшом экране докстанции будет написано, кто же занял его. Цена довольно высокая, $699, но надо понимать, что это док не для дома — он для новых офисов с гибрид ремоутом. Ставишь 5 таких рабочих мест на 20 сотрудников, и они сами выбирают, кто и когда на них работает. Красиво!https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/24/23734946/logitech-…

Иногда нейросети приносят нам такие шутки, что грех не поделиться, хотя шутка на грани конечно. Помните в далеком 2015, когда в Google Photos появилась функция распознавания обьектов на фото, был большой скандал - двух афроамериканцев распознало как горилл? Так вот, с тех пор и до сегодняшнего дня ни одна из подобных публичных систем (а это Эппл, Гугл, Амазон и даже Майкрософт) не умеют распознавать и показывать такой обьект как “горилла”. Поиск пустой, обьекты не размечаются. Это оказалось самым простым способом починить проблему.Если это не доказательство происхождения человека от обезьяны - я не знаю какое вам еще надо! https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/22/technology/ai-photo-labels-google…

Очень интересная публикация, позволяющая по скану МРТ приблизительно увидеть, что в текущий момент видит человек в сканере. По сути это использование модели Stable Diffusion для генерации картинки на основе мозговых сигналов.Осталось придумать способ считывать сигналы на расстоянии - и всё, худшие фантазии фантастов начнут реализовываться, правительства и корпорации будут читать ваш мозг как открытую книгу. К счастью пока для этого нужен огромный шкаф МРТ, но можно ожидать бурного роста цен на шапочки из фольги :)Если сама статья вам не интересна - посмотрите видео на странице https://github.com/jqin4749/MindVideo

В блумберге полная коллекция слухов о том, что за очки дополненной реальности покажет Эппл. Если лень читать: отдельная xrOS, цена около $3k, разрабатывали почти 7 лет, конструкция больше похожа на лыжные очки с дополнительным аккумулятором на пояс, Тим Кук вообще не принимал участие в проекте, продавать будут по себестоимости, в надежде заработать на приложениях.Я конечно куплю, но удивительно как далеко от начальной концепции получилось устройство.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-05-18/apple-s-mixed-reality-headset-may-define-tim-cook-s-legacy

Apple хорошо отметили, что запускают новую платформу;) Полностью отказаться от контроллеров и превратить очки в полноценный носимый компьютер, не требующий выработки новых моторных навыков даже для простых действий — круто. Ну а когда контроллеры нужны (например, для симуляторов авто) — на то и платформа, чтоб они появились. Не менее круто, что они хорошо обошли проблему аватаров во время онлайновых созвонов — никто же не хочет видеть собеседника в малопрозрачных очках. Поэтому твою физиономию заранее превратят в цифрового двойника, который и будет участвовать в совещаниях;) Apple Vision Pro действительно больше похож на представителя новой категории устройств, чем все прочие очечки.

Microsoft вкладывается по-крупному, и не только во всем известный нынче OpenAI. Вот еще один единорог по имени CoreWeave, недавно поднявший очередные 200 млн долларов: ходят слухи, что к этому причастен Microsoft, готовый в дальнейшем вложить и больше.CoreWeave продает доступ к облачным GPU-ресурсам, при этом утверждает, что у него всё быстрее и лучше, чем у старых и традиционных провайдеров облачных сервисов. Учитывая масштабы сотрудничества Microsoft с Nvidia и масштабы закупок там карт, технологии CoewWeave представляются очень уместными.

“Электрический танкер» — очередная концепция эры новой электрификации, в которой генерация обеспечивается исключительно чистыми источниками. Электрический в данном случае означает не только электрическую силовую установку, но и тип груза.По сути, это огромный плавучий самоходный аккумулятор. Зачем? Ну, затем же, зачем нужны обычные некрупные танкеры в условиях генерации за счет сжигания топлива. Сейчас они доставляют дизельное топливо, например, на острова или в отдаленные районы, куда сложно и невыгодно тянуть линии электропередач. В условиях возобновляемых источников в таких местах могут быть периоды, когда солнце и ветер не могут обеспечить нужную мощность, а местная батарея уже истощила…

Прекрасная и показательная история вчера взбудоражила некоторую часть близкого к разработкам игр интернета. Но интересна она может быть всем.Вот прямо сейчас можно зайти, например, на https://ludenio.itch.io/generated-adventure и поиграть в простенькую браузерную игрушку-бродилку. Кто когда-то (как я) играл в Monkey Island -- может почувствовать, что она немножко напоминает. Фокус в том, что игра создана за 72 часа, один человек работал full time, второй на подхвате примерно половину времени.Но у них были “вторые пилоты”: генеративные сервисы для графики, создания сценария и диалогов, музыки. Как ни странно, как раз с кодом не получилось: для использованного движка требовался язык ink, кото…

Microsoft держит темп: на своей традиционной конференции для разработчиков сделал серию анонсов про ИИ. Ничего сенсационного или неожиданного — но уверенный и мощный натиск тоже впечатляет (прикольно, как быстро все перестроились и приняли как должное лидерство Microsoft на текущем этапе ИИ-гонки).Концепция универсального интеллектуального напарника (он же второй пилот) последовательно воплощается во все массовые пользовательские продукты. Bing Chat приходит не только в каждое из приложений, но и в сами Винды, там появляется Windows Copilot, an AI assistant that follows you wherever you go within the operating system.Это еще один шаг, гарантирующий супер-массовость: не надо ничего запускать…

Всеобщее немного истеричное внимание к ИИ подогрело и интерес к гуманоидным роботам общего назначения; раньше на слуху были разве что разработки Boston Dynamics да странное изделие от Tesla. Но теперь образ умного человекоподобного робота вдруг стал очень понятен людям, поимевшим опыт общения с разными разговорными моделями.Вот пример стартапа Sanctuari AI, о котором мало кто знал, а теперь он стал интересен со своим роботом Phoenix под управлением “инновационной ИИ-системы Carbon”.
