Disclaimer : I work at Square Enix/Eidos Montreal so this is shameless self-promotion. The three games in the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy can currently be had for very little money on Steam since they're on sale for the 25th annive

I embarrassed myself recently by trying to get the performance of my AMD Zen 3 CPU beyond what precision boost overdrive and the default XMP profile of my memory were able to achieve. The single threaded performance never came close to it w

It might not be entirely relevant to your situation since this happened at the start of my career but I somehow ended up going from Ruby on Rails development to working on C++ networking code in the games industry. The way I did it was by s

The CSAM scanning is still troubling because it implies your own device is running software against your own self-interest. If Apple wanted to get out of legal trouble by not hosting illegal content but still make sure iOS is working in the

I think Apple is clearly overplaying the role that their app store policies like the "nutrition label", reviews and app tracking transparency have in the iOS security model. To me, the security features that matter are from the op

What bothers me the most about FLOC is that there is no reason or advantage for me as a user to run it unless I'm forced to. Cookies, even if they get hijacked for tracking, are genuinely useful to persist state and having them on resu

I’m currently doing a bit of Gameboy Advance programming for fun and I’m actually surprised by how simple most of it is at least for the basics. While some games on the platform do incredibly clever stuff (Super Monkey Ball Jr. being especi

The average build for a AAA game coming out in 2020 is barely in playable shape and certainly not ready to be shown at E3. Making one polished enough to show off is both time consuming and not representative of the final product. I really w

I’m in the middle of a project exactly like this one. I purchased a used 5th generation iPod video from eBay and I’m in the process of replacing every external facing part on it. The hard drive is also getting swapped for an sd card and the

If I understand this correctly none of these 4 products will allow you to send text based messages to another person on a desktop computer without having to create an entreprise hangout. Is that not a use case worth caring about anymore? Yo
