They have released them in several places, even in the US surprisingly.

Sounds like it only recently got regulatory approval, and then there has to be some testing at each location before release.

Did you get a huge flood of emails at the start? That happened to me one time and it was because one of my old passwords got leaked. Buried within the flood of emails was a legit "your password has been changed" email for an account.

Yep, the second paragraph of the article says that the new app will eventually replace both GeForce experience (yay) and the Nvidia control panel (boo).

11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers)

To put that into perspective, the circumference of the earth is ~24,000 miles. From my rough Google Earth calculations, the stated range covers the entire planet except for a tiny sliver of Antarctica and a bit of the ocean nearby.

Why would Russia need a missile with that range? Unless they just really want to take out New Zealand first, it kinda seems like they just picked the largest sensible range value (12,000 miles, halfway around the planet) and then fudged it down a bit because why would you need to fire a missile more than halfway around the planet? Just fire it in the opposite direction.

That's nuts (sorry). 400 calories of peanut butter is only 2 servings, 4 tbsp. I'm a big PB fan as well, and can easily eat 2-3 servings a day. I wonder if other nut butters have the same risks and would make good alternatives.

It's basically the same as doing it on the ground, except here you get hit by a train if you mess up.

I'm a little surprised that unreal is the next choice after unity given how much hate Epic seems to get. I thought about switching to unreal but then I learned that you have to download the epic store to use the unreal engine, and I refuse to do that after the "scan your whole PC and upload your game list" thing they pulled a few years ago.

Last time I checked (and it's been a few months), GOG hadn't updated their version of FO4 with the "next-gen" update that came out early this year. That may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective because supposedly the update breaks a lot of mods but also is supposed to increase performance.

I wish every article that talks about "ultra-processed" foods would just link to the NOVA system or some other reference. Otherwise it just makes their statements seem so empty.

GitHub is many things nowadays. Some people use it sort of like a blog where they can easily post long pages of text, sometimes it's the first thing that shows up in the search results when you search for a computer/phone problem.

I'm gonna sound old here but the younger generations are in general less computer literate than they were back in my day, and a lot of people have no qualms about downloading and running random exe's from discord or mediafire.

Yeah the beginning is a bit rough because apparently the alien is specifically programmed to not leave you alone in the first level or two that it appears. My initial experience was similar but after the first level it got a lot better.

To me the game either works great and you get a legit scary experience or the alien pops out at the wrong time and you have to briskly walk through the rest of the level or die instantly.
