Speeding up Unreal Editor launch by not spawning 38000 tooltips

Speeding up the Unreal Editor launch by … not spawning 38000 tooltips? If there is one thing the Unreal Engine doesn’t suffer from, it is it’s lack of features. Over the past years it has been transformed from “just” a game engine into an ‘everything machine’. Games, Movies, Live-Content, VFX, Previz, even virtual fashion shows – it’s a behemoth of an editor with a multitude of tools, most of which are barely used or even known by many of its users. This multitude of features comes with some d

Huawei Releases Its Second Trifold Phone Weeks Ahead of Samsung's Expected Launch

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-12 08:48:00

Huawei's second-generation trifold phone, the Mate XTs, is now available, just shy of a year after the company's first trifold phone was released in September 2024. The trifold phone isn't much different from the Mate XT, but two big upgrades take the spotlight. The Mate XTs let you use a stylus on the phone's folding screen and comes in purple, red, black or white. It runs on HarmonyOS 5.1, which Huawei calls a "PC-level" experience, and has a new M-Pen 3 stylus. "In the free multiwindow mode

Threads challenges X by offering free support for up to 10K characters, plus prominent links

After recently being spotted testing a way to share longer text, Threads, Meta’s X competitor, is now officially rolling out the feature that allows users to attach up to 10,000 characters of text to their post. The addition has been designed with the needs of creators in mind, as it supports linking out to content outside of Threads, like newsletters, blogs, podcasts, and more.

TCL's new smartphone uses the latest version of its eye-comfort screen tech

TCL is showcasing a new phone at IFA 2025. A late entrant to the modern mobile market, the company tries to differentiate its devices with NXTPAPER eye-comfort screen tech. The new NXTPAPER 60 Ultra is TCL's first phone to feature the latest version of that technology, which it first introduced in a tablet at CES 2025. The idea behind NXTPAPER is to strike a balance between e-paper and OLED screens, alleviating eye strain without sacrificing color range or refresh rates. Its hardware-level feat

TCL’s New Phone Is What You Want if You Stare Too Long at Screens

Google is changing how Extra Dim works on the Pixel 10, and it’s so much better

This removes the need for a separate toggle, as Extra Dim now automatically activates when the brightness slider is at its minimum. While the feature was tested on older Pixels, it is currently exclusive to the Pixel 10, though it may come to other devices later. Google’s new Pixel 10 series introduces some surprise display upgr

Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security

Row-level security (RLS) is a great feature. It allows restricting access to rows by applying filters defined by a policy. It’s a tool useful for cases when the data set can’t be split into separate databases. Sadly, using RLS may be quite cumbersome. RLS requires some sort of “trusted context” for the RLS policies. The policies need to filter using data the user can’t change. If the filter uses some sort of “tenant ID”, and the user can change it to an arbitrary value, that would break the RLS
