DXGI debugging: Microsoft put me on a list Why does Space Station 14 crash with ANGLE on ARM64? 6 hours later… So. I’ve been continuing work on getting ARM64 builds out for Space Station 14. The thing I was working on yesterday were launcher builds, specifically a single download that supports both ARM64 and x64. I’d already gotten the game client itself running natively on ARM64, and it worked perfectly fine in my dev environment. I wrote all the new launcher code, am pretty sure I got it rig

With ‘Super Mario Galaxy,’ the Switch 2 Feels More Like the Wii Than Ever

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-20 06:00:58

Remember Super Mario Galaxy (not the upcoming movie)? You better. It’s one of those games that came out for Nintendo’s oddest console, the Wii, built for the system with a controller shaped like a TV remote. It was more than innovative for the time. No other game has managed to replicate Galaxy’s complicated gravity simulation. Every jump and leap sends Mario orbiting around a planetoid, the camera barely able to keep up. It’s as magnificent now on the Switch 2 with a big 4K television as it was

After five movies, the Mad Max franchise may take a trip to the glorious land of television. A new video from Mad Max Bible alleges an HBO Max show will be the final franchise project for creator George Miller, and may in fact be the long-awaited third of his desired trilogy: The Wasteland, set a year before 2015’s Fury Road. Miller has been open about wanting to tell Max and Furiosa’s stories across three films, with the final one once again putting Tom Hardy in the role as brooding post-apoca

James Gunn Wants ‘Man of Tomorrow’ to Show Lex Luthor’s Layers

While the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow isn’t out until 2027, that hasn’t stopped director/writer James Gunn from vaguely teasing some plans, particulary as they relate to Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor. In a recent interview with The Ringer-Verse, Gunn was asked about his approach to Lex for Tomorrow and the DC universe overall. Gunn is aiming to “get into the heart of Lex” and explore more of his human side. By his own admission, Lex was a bastard in that first movie (even before he killed Sup

The bloat of edge-case first libraries This is just some of what I’ve been pondering recently - particularly in terms of how we ended up with such overly-granular dependency trees. I think we’ve ended up with many libraries in our ecosystem which are edge-case-first, the opposite to what I’d expect. I’ll give a few examples and some thoughts around this, mostly in the hope we can start to trim some of it away. The problem I believe a lot of the questionably small libraries hiding in our deep

Philips announces digital pathology scanner with native DICOM JPEG XL output

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the international standard for medical images and related patient information. Because digital pathology is a relatively new imaging modality compared to radiology and others, there was no established DICOM standard in place. As a result, vendors created their own proprietary formats. Today, Philips announced that it is expanding its SG300 and SG60 scanner offering with the Pathology Scanner SGi with configurable DICOM JPEG and DICOM JPE

That’s the basic premise of Vicious, the new film from writer-director Bryan Bertino (The Strangers) starring Dakota Fanning, and it’s incredibly alluring. Instantly, it brings to mind a slew of questions. Where did the box come from? How does it work? What happens if you fail to comply?

What's the limit of what can be in a TXT record? Some places say 255 bytes. They are wrong. Within a TXT record there are multiple character-strings (RFC 1035 section 3.3.14) and those are limited in length (because a single byte is used for their length), however there can be many of them. The actual limit is limited by the size of the DNS payload, which for UDP is these days around 1232 bytes. That is obviously quite low.
