For OSX users, this seems to run best in Safari Technology Preview.
Tested Sumerian and it's a barebones 3D web tool (modeled after Unity but more akin to ThreeJS editor) that can be controlled via script by other services. One example is being able to do some tasks like in-browser AR.
I'm always curious if deceptive actions like these are approved by an individual, a committee, or are perhaps a byproduct of unrelated tasks driven by lazy oversight shrouded by process.
Flying into LAX from Asia last week, I had expected to spend a few hours at the airport before officially entering, but alas, it was worryingly expedient only being asked “did I travel to China in the last weeks?”

Apex Legends, a property from Respawn Entertainment though technically under the EA/Origin umbrella, has a different approach on cheating by using a combination of deep learning from previous matches and shadow-banning…
Joe Rogan's booking and showrunning team(s) needs a lot more credit where it's due. The politically and professionally diverse guests they are able to get, no doubt with the assistance of Joe himself, is absolutely…
Is the issue of anxiety and depression among Gen Z being brought to the center stage internally at FB? I’d feel a whole lot better about the company if I knew that an actual effort was being made to right some wrongs in…
My HEDT at home serves as my VR development machine and doubles as a gaming rig. I generally save basic research, design, and sandboxed coding for my MacBook Pro at a coffee shop. If I had a similar performing laptop…
Given that the latest Mac still uses an Intel CPU, I’d say the range is [5,7] years at minimum, based on Apple’s current vintage/obsolete policy, before x86 support is dropped from OSX.
I’m curious to know how much room there is for optimization in their code
Are there any private prison models that were shown to be more effective than their peers or public counterparts? While I agree that the vast majority (if not all) of private prisons, and those who participated in…

I'm stuck with a $4000 brick I cannot use without frustration. Given that I'm still paying it off, this really hurts motivation. Another issue that seems to be overlooked is the overly big force touchpad that, in…
I'd agree with the exception of the utterly awful keyboard & trackpad design that appeared in 2016 that seemed to skip any meaningful QA process inside Apple. The popular dust complaints aside, a brand new machine has…

I signed up for this after moving out of my apartment and temporarily set up forwarding to my a freind’s address. It’s a great service, though I realized no confirmation was needed for me to start getting this info.
Most likely this. I have a few dev accounts, one which I know I used the feature at some point, another few which did not and those were not reset.
The article only mentions the engineers being laid off, not the managers who botched it, nor the executives who hired with incompetence. The reward structure of such a corporate environment would seem counter-intuitive…
Crazy thought. When a company with a ton of accumulated assets (data) craters, do the rules of bankruptcy and/or mitigating their losses to investors force them to just sell these assets outright? This may not happen in…
