Lee Pace Has Big Hopes for the Fourth Season of ‘Foundation’

wired.com Tim Marchman 2025-10-02 10:38:27

Something of a flawed masterpiece, the show, which wraps its third season Friday, has been averaging about 1.5 million hours watched per week in the US over the last month, according to Luminate.

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-02 13:35:12

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the hotly-anticipated Balatro 1.1 update. Developer LocalThunk just announced it will not be coming out in 2025, despite previously promising a release this year. Instead, it'll come out "when it's done." It's worth remembering that Balatro was created by a single person, and the same goes for this update. The lone developer also made the original balance patch and the well-regarded mobile port. He says he's "well and truly burned out." LocalThunk

I don't like curved displays

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-29 09:24:24

I don't like curved displays The vast majority of media uses rectilinear lenses, where straight lines in 3D remain straight in a 2D image: Each light ray lands on a flat rectangle that lies between the viewpoint and the light source, so viewing the image on a flat screen looks exactly the same as how it originally appeared. A curved screen won't do that — straight lines are no longer straight!
