  • They showed off Squadron 42 earlier this year. They’re definitely spending money on stuff since it had a ton of A-List actors in the game. Graphics look amazing, everything looks so detailed… The game engine however was struggling. During the gameplay footage it constantly looked like the frame rate dropped to 15fps. They claim the game is “Feature Complete” (whatever that means in their definition…) and now is in the polishing stage. I honestly don’t think their CryEngine based Engine will run well even on the latest and best hardware when (if) it finally releases unless they make massive changes to the engine…

    Samsung Appliances don’t have the best track record for being reliable… Something tells me if they did add something like that, within the first year it’d either break down OR work too well and result in a number of loss of limb lawsuits against the company.



  • I agree GNOME is resource heavy however that has nothing to do with Javascript being involved. The James Web Telescope uses Javascript for some of its core functionality (specifically managing its science modules), does that make it a web browser? I personally don’t like GNOME either, but most of it is written in C, it has its own GUI library which is written in C. The Javascript code likely just is used to simplify calling the underlying C functions and CSS is used for customizing the actual UI elements.



  • I googled one once after it left an obvious scam voicemail which led me to the virtual phone number providers site. I looked at reporting it on the FCCs website, but reporting there is a PIA. You have to fill out a big form to create a report. The virtual number providers site had it’s own report page which took 2 seconds to fill out. Later that day I got an email saying they take it seriously, it’s a Google voice number or something and they’re opening an investigation. The next day I get an email saying they concluded their investigation and the number was disconnected and the account terminated. It was kinda satisfying, though I doubt it impacted the scammer much.
