Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Would Prefer If You Moved on From Hating the Ending of ‘Game of Thrones’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-03 15:15:00

Game of Thrones was beloved for much of its run—winning awards, topping “best” lists—before it famously went off the rails in its eighth and final season. Time hasn’t softened the blow one bit, even with the subsequent success of the prequel series House of the Dragon. Fans will likely never forgive the show’s disappointing downturn, and that’s something one Game of Thrones star in particular hasn’t quite come to terms with: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who played Jaime Lannister. Of course, Coster-W

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is warning major U.S. tech companies against yielding to foreign government demands that weaken data security, compromise encryption, or impose censorship on their platforms. FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson signed the letter sent to large American companies like Akamai, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Cloudflare, Discord, GoDaddy, Meta, Microsoft, Signal, Snap, Slack, and X (Twitter).

Math Not Required (2023)

Let's examine a problem that we could math our way out of, but assume we don't know how. We'll lean on our programming to teach us what we don't know. The Monty Hall problem comes from an old game show called Let's Make a Deal, hosted by Monty Hall. In the show, Monty would show three closed doors to a contestant and explain that one holds a car while the other two hold goats. The contestant then chose a door. After this first pick, Monty would reveal one unchosen door that was hiding a goat. T

It is worth it to buy the fast CPU

In the past few years, CPUs have gotten really fast. Shockingly fast! Yet most people are stuck on previous generation mobile chips (whether by choice, or by their companies choice), at a huge detriment to their productivity. Meanwhile, AI coding subscriptions like Cursor are all the rage these days. I'll skip the debate on exactly how useful these tools are, and focus on the pricing.

8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller Review: For Human Hands

The Nintendo 64 was a fantastic console, home to generation-defining games such as Super Mario 64 and GoldenEye 007. With its four built-in controller ports, it revolutionized multiplayer gaming in front of the TV, and it was the first mainstream console to introduce an analog stick, essential for navigating the burgeoning 3D worlds the medium was starting to deliver.

5 apps you should use instead of Messenger

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-07 18:30:59

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Messenger is one of the most popular messaging services around, especially in the US, but it has its faults. Group chats, for example, are not end-to-end encrypted by default, meaning the company that runs it — Meta — can technically read your messages. And since Meta owns it, we can assume it collects a lot of user information that’s then used for targeted ads, just like most big tech companies do. Users also criticize the app for being bloated, as it has e

Pokémon looks scary again in the new Z-A trailer

One of the most brilliant things about Pokémon Legends: Arceus was the way it dropped you into the wilderness to fend for yourself as wild monsters tried to kill you. It was a surprising deviation from the franchise’s typically chill vibe that complimented the game’s story about how humans once lived in constant fear of pokémon. Arceus’ mild horror elements felt like something that might not carry over to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but the new game’s latest trailer makes it seem like Nintendo wants t

Linear scan register allocation on SSA

Much of the code and education that resulted in this post happened with Aaron Patterson. The fundamental problem in register allocation is to take an IR that uses a virtual registers (as many as you like) and rewrite it to use a finite amount of physical registers and stack space. This is an example of a code snippet using virtual registers: add R1, R2 -> R3 add R1, R3 -> R4 ret R4 And here is the same example after it has been passed through a register allocator (note that Rs changed to Ps)
