NASA’s “Wildfire Digital Twin” project will equip firefighters and wildfire managers with a superior tool for monitoring wildfires and predicting harmful air pollution events and help researchers observe global wildfire trends more precisely.

The driver release many NVIDIA fans have been waiting on is here today. NVIDIA released the NVIDIA 555.42.02 Beta driver with some necessary upgrades for Wayland support.
Hopefully there's an AUR package soon. I hope this fixes the flickering and frame pacing issues in games on Optimus laptop configurations. The proprietary driver is basically unusable on my laptop. I'm more excited for #NVK which has already made my laptop way more usable than ever before, but it would be nice to see the proprietary driver being a usable alternative rather than a glitchy mess.
King under the Mountain from developer Rocket Jump Technology, a simulation-based settlement-building strategy game, that was going through a big upgrade and re-brand with Mountaincore ended up shutting down and being open sourced.
"partly because the publisher backed-out after making them go silent on it for so long" no doubt. In fact it sounds idiotic, they shouldve been building hype around it, not be silent.
Also too bad they had to shut down, very much so, but props for ensuring their game will live on
Today, we are announcing the end of this project. As many of you probably noticed over the past several months, we no longer have enough free time to properly maintain Antergos.
APICO is a chilled beekeeping sim from TNgineers that just got a little bit more industrious, with the free APICO 4.0 update giving you some fun new tools.
I've got to give this thing another go. It was fun to pick up even just briefly, but I got the impression it would take longer to get to grips with than I had time for. Now it looks as though there's enough to look forward to that it's probably worth that amount of effort.
As BKOM Studios approach the launch of Madzik - Episode 1, a narrative-driven hack and slash adventure with a nostalgic 80s vibe, they're giving away a Steam Deck OLED.
Kingdom Two Crowns: Call of Olympus was just announced with a plan to launch later this year, expanding the side-scrolling micro strategy game into Ancient Greece.
Depending what machine the player is using, the game welcomes him/her with a different story. In the 8-bit version of this platform game the player controls a teenage boy from the 20th century (featured on a box cover) who falls through a tear in the…
K-D Lab have revived their classic RTS, with PERIMETER: Legate Edition now available on Steam with full Native Linux support and it's even open source.
Whilst the term underflow does have a different meaning when referring to floating point numbers, it can also refer to an integer going past the minimum limit , this may also be called a negative overflow but that is not the only correct term for it. See CWE-191 cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions…
Oh yay, more AI stuff. Intel have announced that Lunar Lake is due to arrive in Q3 2024 and it will include a neural processing unit (NPU) for AI fans.
About damn time right? After being Epic Exclusive for multiple years, KINGDOM HEARTS is finally coming to Steam and there's a lot of it. This will make it so much easier to play on Steam Deck / Linux thanks to Proton.
I really wish it was playable on Linux. The Epic version at least, is not. At least not without some really messy workarounds, because some FMVs are in some unknown codec, which does not work on Proton. Of course, SE could change that, but that would make too much sense 😕
luckily it's limited to Snapdragon CPUs (for now) edit: Like, if it were some, say, chinese shady software we would call it spying right away, when MS does it it's suddendly a feature?
Similar surveillance technologies may already soon become mandatory actually, if the #ChatControl legislation is passed in the EU. #StopScanningMe
There is also an official question by member of the European Parliament @echo_pbreyer about how game developers would be affected by ChatControl (answer still pending): europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docum…
I fully share your recommendation to use Linux instead of Windows. But ChatControl and #ClientSideScanning are a danger for all software users.
- It's another target for malicious use - Most users don't go and tweak and change all their settings - You really think Microsoft won't use your data somewhere? lololol
There's so so many problems with this kind of thing.
It's a nice way for MS to use your data "without using your data". They will train the AI model on your computer and import the model regularly. Having data about you without having it! Brilliant, isn't it?
Can you opt-out or deactivate it completely? Or it will be like Cortana, a thing that you can bound but not opt-out completely because it is invetered in the system search feature?
At least it's exclusive to the new Snapdragon ARM processors, since apparently modern Intel and AMD chips can't handle that kind of AI.
Nevertheless, it's still a hell of a dick move by Microsoft, but what were we expecting, considering both Copilot and ads on the Start menu (maybe eventually even in, I don't know, the settings app? Who knows) shoved in Win11 for no reason at all?
I really don't get why companies keep on shoving these glorified tech demos everywhere.
Nice feature for all abusive managers wanting full control of their employees! They will be very disappointed that it's limited to a specific processor now 😂
Great news to hurry us to finally switch to Linux. We've been wanting to do it for a long time, although for a completely different reason - the comfort of Linux programming.
If this is active at any point without the users full knowledge and understanding and without them manually and intentionally starting it up themselves its just straight up malware at a level that should be illegal.
Microsoft doesn't seem to have the best track record in privacy or ethics or playing well with others or coding or software releases or updates, unless you're speaking to bloatware malware viruses and forcing hardware obsolescence artificially to drive a market for profits sake at the expense of the end user. 🤔
And any government that has the power to turn off the internet and communications at the flip of a switch has such in place for the purpose of control, repression, propaganda and the ability to break civilian interactions for fear of revolt. This is not a free nation.
