#Security nightmare:

#Microsoft’s new #Windows11 feature, #Recall, makes the #SciFi movie #TotalRecall almost look like a fairy tale by comparison.

Everything you ever saw or wrote on your device, even if deleted, will remain in definitely remain available and searchable for users of the device, including #hackers.
Opting out requires work.

Also, in my view, I doubt that it is #GDPDR compliant in its current form.
Beware.

Excellent analysis:

Somehow in the past week or so I've fallen back in love with the aesthetics and vibe of the Star Wars prequels (especially "Attack of the Clones") as well as the Old Republic games. Nothing else quite looks like them. I want to live in that world...

Well...maybe not an exact replica. I might want to change out the hues to be red-dominated...but I wouldn't need to look too far for inspiration. Another politician from the same planet indulged in this most Sith-like of color schemes. 😉

I think it might be because I went to the villa last April and it's only now truly sinking in. Yes, where Padmé got married is a real place: Villa del Balbianello. And having seen it in person I'm not sure if I could abide being married anywhere else than at that same spot.

Tonight, I had a strange dream:

It started very good: I was on our flat's balcony and my partner came out for a moment to look for something she had left on the table, completely naked, which turned me on so much that I followed her, took her into my arms and started to kiss her.

As we were about to make a step towards the sofa, we suddenly got irritated by voices, which seemed to come from inside the flat.

We separated and shouted "Is there somebody in here?" but the voices just

I do!

I can separate fantasy from reality quite well, and whilst I can totally immerse during the film or book and be totally shaken, once I finish or put them away, they don't bother me any more.

The only thing, I don't like is brutality and torture.

is, in my opinion, possibly the genre of which tells most about the state of mind of its era, even more than .

Where can it be used in the game? A mysterious altar in a cave, a cooling system after the landing of a spaceship, a room with cryocapsules...

Started reading The Iron Dragon's Daughter by Michael Swanwick. I read this book over 2 decades ago, and was often at a loss for many of the words in it were foreign to me. Now 25 years later, at least I have Google, and I'm definitely expanding my vocabulary, but I do understand it a lot better than I had before. So far it's as good as I remember. Heck better even because I can understand it now.

🆕 blog! “Book Review: Relic - Alan Dean Foster”
★★★⯪☆

This is a decent slice of sci-fi. It's the sort of story that probably could have been written any time in the last 100 years. The sole survivor of the human race is picked up by friendly aliens and spends his life as a specimen of scientific and cultural curiosity. And then... events occur! It's […]

Wife has been thrifting again.

I had thought that most of the content was animated cartoons or kids' fare, but there was a surprising number of 70s sci-fi movie discs. It is neat how this nearly 100-year-old technology still does 3D so incredibly well.

How could you mimic that effect in the browser? A quick animated gif strobing between the left and right images? Would that work?

It already looks like gameplay and prototype game mechanics... A collection device with a limit, a device for accumulation and whatever. What's next? Make a Ghostbusters energy trap?

Today in Unreal Engine 5, I finally did it… Niagara System on GPU without event collision. I transfer the position of the collector to Niagara, calculate the distance there, and through the Export Particle Data to Blueprint module catch the supposedly collision, which I count as a particle collected, on the emitter side the Kill Particles module does a similar check
