The complicated Subnautica 2 lawsuit just took a bizarre twist

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-20 22:58:29

Unlike the joy of exploring the underwater world in Subnautica, diving deeper into the Subnautica 2 lawsuit is the furthest thing from rewarding. The latest update in the convoluted lawsuit between Subnautica's developer, Unknown Worlds, and its parent company, Krafton, represents a complete 180 with one of the case's key claims. According to a PC Gamer report, Krafton said that "documents relating to the readiness of the game were irrelevant to the termination" of Unknown Worlds' leadership, wh

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-10-01 21:00:41

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season was weird as hell. Not just for the wild swings in tone and genre the series went for in its latest round of boldly going, but for a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half. But now that the season is over, and work on the next has already concluded, its producers are beginning to acknowledge that stumble. Speaking to TrekMovie recently after a screening of season 3

Parts shortage is the latest problem to hit General Motors production

General Motors will temporarily lay off workers at its Wentzville assembly plant in Missouri. According to a letter sent to employees by the head of the plant and the head of the local union, a shortage of parts is the culprit, and as a result the factory will see "a temporary layoff from September 29-October 19." The plant is about 45 minutes west of St Louis and employs more than 4,000 people to assemble midsize pickup trucks for Chevrolet and GMC, as well as full-size vans. Not every employe

Learning Lens Blur Fields

Lens blur field shown in step 2 is from the dual pixels of a Pixel 4a. Abstract Optical blur is an inherent property of any lens system and is challenging to model in modern cameras because of their complex optical elements. To tackle this challenge, we introduce a high‑dimensional neural representation of blur—the lens blur field—and a practical method for acquisition. The lens blur field is a multilayer perceptron (MLP) designed to (1) accurately capture variations of the lens 2‑D point sprea

Ryan Reynolds Fesses Up to Leaking ‘Deadpool’ Test Footage

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-13 20:30:15

The big reason we have a Deadpool film trilogy is because of leaked test footage for the first movie back in 2014. It’s since become generally agreed upon that leading man Ryan Reynolds probably had something to do with it, and now the actor himself has gone and said he leaked it, yeah. Talking to Entertainment Weekly at TIFF, Reynolds said the leak may have been “cheating,” but done with the best of intentions. “I think I was onto something that people would be interested in,” he told the outl

Ryan Reynolds and Mark Ruffalo Are Both Downplaying Their Rumored Marvel Futures

Two massive, massive Marvel movies are set to release in 2026, and, according to two massive, massive actors, they may not be included. This week, both Mark Ruffalo and Ryan Reynolds downplayed rumors of their appearances in next year’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, respectively, but we aren’t quite buying it. To recap, earlier this year, news broke that Mark Ruffalo would be returning as Hulk in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set for release July 31, 2026. That has yet to be of

Protobuffers Are Wrong (2018)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-14 19:25:10

I’ve spent a good deal of my professional life arguing against using protobuffers. They’re clearly written by amateurs, unbelievably ad-hoc, mired in gotchas, tricky to compile, and solve a problem that nobody but Google really has. If these problems of protobuffers remained quarantined in serialization abstractions, my complaints would end there. But unfortunately, the bad design of protobuffers is so persuasive that these problems manage to leak their way into your code as well. Ad-Hoc and Bu

Someone folded the Galaxy Z Fold 7 200,000 times: Here’s what broke

Samsung’s 500,000-fold durability claim for the inner screen seems plausible so far, but the test did produce some hardware issues. Notable issues included a reboot error (6,000–10,000 folds), hinge creaking (from 46,000 folds), liquid seepage (after 75,000 folds), and speaker failure (at 175,000 folds).
