I'm hopeful (but maybe not optimistic) that Arkane gets out of this with the ability to do what they're really good at again.

Single player, but stereoscopic? One display from each bud.

"VR Doom has been ported to an earbud(s)" ;)

from the abstract....

"In this paper, we study the stability of the public IP addresses a user device uses to communicate with our server. Over time, a same device communicates with our server using a set of distinct IP addresses, but we find that devices reuse some of their previous IP addresses for long periods of time. We call this IP address retention and, the duration for which an IP address is retained by a device, is named the IP address retention period. We present an analysis of 34,488 unique public IP addresses collected from 2,230 users over a period of 111 days and we show that IP addresses remain a prime vector for online tracking. 87 % of participants retain at least one IP address for more than a month and 45 % of ISPs in our dataset allow keeping the same IP address for more than 30 days."

The minute hand would be one revolution an hour.

I would love to do some sort of homeAssistant type automation, but I've been dithering for ages because everything I read up on all the various light and appliance control protocols make me feel my entire home would become a massive UI/UX nightmare for myself and visitors. I want smarts, but I also never want to have to reboot a lightswitch.

It's still available if you dig around on Adobe's site.

Despite having the full creative suite I still turn to Fireworks for quick jobs sometimes when I need to do a fast crop or slice job, or put together a simple 'constructed' image element.

Also in the UK. The last Yellow Pages we received, about two months ago, had a large ‘Final Issue‘ highlight on the front. They’ve finally given up. I tried to dredge up some nostalgic feelings for it’s demise, but flicking through the contents I really couldn’t. About 40% of the ad space throughout the book was for one advertiser, Gas Safe Register, and I can only assume that got sold at a song to fill the space. I’d love to know the percentage of the population that are going to miss it. I can see why it’s no longer effective with search engines being what they are, but there must still be a decent number of (presumably older) people who don’t google when they need contact details.

Thanks for that one.
