If you rotate your phone and view in landscape mode the problem goes away, on iPhone at least. Not ideal but at least it’s something.

Apologies if this has been posted already. Does anyone know what "well-fortified" means, specifically?

It’s so great to see the many places listed here. It compels me to mention The Museum of Arts and Digital Entertainment, based in Oakland CA, in case any Bay Area folks are interested in such places: https://www.themade.org/

Are ferroelectric diodes more sensitive to external tampering than a “typical” memory circuit? As in, could a device like this be more easily “jammed” by a strong external electromagnetic source? That’s where my head went when reading about

First and foremost- this content was stolen. You haven’t paid for it. If you saw a stolen car left on the side of the road, would to take it for a joyride? Secondly, do you think watching these these videos is making anyone at rockstar fire

I’d say this is less “pulling back the curtain” and more brazen theft. But go off.

Please don’t click these links or share these videos. As a member of the film/animation industry, hearing about leaks like this absolutely hits me. Please think of the hundreds of artists and programmers who have worked countless hours

I purchased the fingerworks gesture keyboard insert for my TiBook. It was amazing. I remember thinking it was the future of all laptop input devices. While I'm glad it resurfaced as the iOS input device, I am super bummed I still don&#

One argument might be that X11 does not support higher than 8bit display tech AFAIK, so if you wanted to do any sort of HDR display (potentially for something like grading or some other gfx development work) you’d be out of luck.

Agreed! Also I am genuinely interested in finding out: what is the difference between “finishing” the pigs with peanuts and sunflower vs. acorns. That difference could be highlighted as an “American” take in the process. Variety is good!

Agreed. The edge of absurdity is still funny though, the boundaries just shift over time, and new creativity finds it. I would argue that Sean Tejaratchi is one to chart such waters: https://liartownusa.tumblr.com/ ...whom,

I would love to see a running list of languages named like this. There are many, but I guess I can’t find or remember them since they’re all named so generically. Processing is the only other one I can think of at the moment.

Nitpick: the miss-alignment of the rendered shadow with the direction of shadows in the surface photos they comp over is maddening.

Please do not change the training data for this....or at least keep this version. These are the most amazing failure cases ever.

My guess is that in terms of a time vs. money trade off, buying a new drive and shelving the old one is the preferred method of archiving. The maintenance required to convert all files to some compact format might be enough of a PITA (howev

Agreed. Regarding why folks might not want to upgrade: for me the main reason is legacy hardware not performing well with newer OSes. For example I recently upgraded a 2012 Mac Mini to High Sierra, and the experience was unacceptably slow.

Big Backblaze fan. You guys have saved me a couple critical times! I'm curious if your guys' view on NAS options is evolving at all? My interest is this: Here at Pixar we have several folks who I'd call "lazy power users

Actually I think it could be quite relevant. The mere fact that origami doesn't allow cuts is what makes this so attractive from a texturing standpoint. From what I can tell, it appears that there are many locations where the original
