The fan-made mod of the original Fallout game has a real trailer and it looks sick

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-30 02:29:11

Fallout: Bakersfield is a fan-made mod of the 1990s original that's been on our radar for a few years. We got a little teaser back in 2022 , but it's been radio silence since then. Now there's an actual trailer filled with gameplay footage and it looks pretty nifty. Developer Alexander "Red888guns" Berezin is the brains behind the project and he used the GZDoom engine to recreate the ghoul city of Necropolis from Fallout 1 as an FPS that resembles the newer games.

ExpressVPN bug leaked user IPs in Remote Desktop sessions

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-30 02:06:08

ExpressVPN has fixed a flaw in its Windows client that caused Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) traffic to bypass the virtual private network (VPN) tunnel, exposing the users' real IP addresses. One of the key premises of a VPN is masking a user's IP address, allowing users to stay anonymous online, and in some cases, bypass censorship. Failing to do so is a severe technical failure for a VPN product. ExpressVPN is a leading VPN service provider, consistently rated among the top VPN services, and

Radical New Theory Rewrites the Story of the Earliest Universe

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-30 02:05:38

Following the Big Bang, our universe expanded at an exponential rate. According to this theory, known as cosmic inflation, the explosive growth produced tiny quantum fluctuations that later evolved into galaxies. Cosmic inflation neatly explains how our universe got so large and mostly homogenous, and that’s why it’s remained a strong theory in cosmology for decades. But it’s far from perfect. Cosmic inflation depends on certain theoretical assumptions that can get rather arbitrary—not ideal fo
