My understanding is that rightsholders didn’t take it seriously, so content was cheap to license in the early days of Netflix streaming. That’s no longer the case.

That’s with every setting dialed to maximum. As a more subtle effect, distortion can do a lot to set off a window without using opaque colors.

It’s only useful if you are looking for the polar opposite of Win95.

I’ve done it before on something else. It does need to be bit-perfect, but ROM’s are one of the easier things to find bit-perfect matches for.

Look at the shadowed areas. There’s a pattern there.

They have no pattern to the fabric in the before, but they do in the after. They have been reupholstered.

Even crazier, they are the same chairs. If you look at the woodwork, they are identical.

They have been reupholstered to that, with a fine pattern that appears to make image compression struggle with the edges of people.

Yes. Nothing is truly incompressible. The speed of sound can be viewed as a measure of how much a material can squish on the atomic level before the next atoms move.

The problems start if it can take on a lot of the junior work. If nobody can enter the industry, nobody can get the experience required to do the real engineering.

Open-source and personal work may be the only way to enter the programming field in the next decade.

This attack hit airbases all over Russia. Smuggling operators into Siberia to fly the drones seems unreasonable.

I’d have to go with the ubiquitous plastic bottle cap. A metal cap doesn’t reseal properly and just punching a hole in the side of the packaging is a no-go for obvious reasons.

And a 3! (Extreme Stunts)

I remember both fondly. I should spoil that memory some day…

It seems a bit odd. The main rotor imparts an opposite spin on the body. Tha tail rotor is there to counteract that spin by blowing sideways. A horizontal one would have to use just its spin, not getting the benefit of the air mass being pushed sideways.

It has very little gameplay. It’s a few mini games spread across a janky early-3D scene.

Lego Island 2 is much more game.

A drop shadow implies that the object is floating above a plane. If you have an object floating above a plane, it would need to drop to the plane to interact with it, so the interaction point should be the tip of the shadow, not the tip of the cursor.

My wife wanted to go mining for her birthday. We’re sitting in a hotel five hours from home right now after a lovely Day swinging picks and with a bucket of rock to show for it.

2/3rds adspace, 1/3 article. Media hasn’t changed much…

Fun article. Written in a great voice.

You can get clear switches with an LED in them that is lit when the light switch is off. I swapped out the switches in my windowless kitchen. They look pretty industrial though.

The main hurdle is modern anti cheat. Many old games actually work better on Linux because of fans making dedicated tweaks.

Bananas grow from seeds inside the fruit. Since we bred the seeds out, now it’s a clone-only plant.

Scare us away? Some of us are on instances that make the connection more obvious.
