I make websites, sometimes apps, hypothetically games at some point. I have strong opinions about UX. Posting about Linux and Apple platforms, video games, tech in general. French and stubborn.

Finally™
(I was worried it might not be available on my “old" M1 Pro, like it isn't on my iPhone 14 Pro.)
Obviously as an Apple user (and once developer) I was glad someone was willing to go against the App Store monopolies, but when you look at it this way, and the 1,000 employees Epic laid off today, it's really fucking dire.
(Whatever they did win in the lawsuit didn't really change anything for 99.9% of users. The best that can be said for it is maybe it encouraged/bolstered regulatory action in the EU and elsewhere?)
Wait, when did they start making reasonably-priced consumer inkjets with ink tanks instead of proprietary cartridges? 😲
Edit: Epson launched EcoTank in the U.S. ten years ago (couldn't find a date for Europe) but presumably they were expensive models back then, not 160 euros.
Keeper is the most "every frame a painting" a 3D game has ever been. An incredible work of art putting the lie to the "I want shorter games with worse graphics" meme. (Well, it *is* pretty short; how else you can delight from beginning to end.) Amazing that it was made by a Microsoft subsidiary, yet at the same time it could only come from a big company [that used to be] able to throw big money at projects like this.

I'm very excited to redesign entire areas of my Satisfactory world around trucks as they finally become usable in 1.2, and then drift off again after a few dozen hours without finishing anything constructive, as is the custom.
(It'll at least motivate me to finish the great pyramid in the desert with the space elevator on top — I’d originally designed its predecessor to have the trains go right into the base and that never felt right.)
I've been idly thinking that I'd like to have fold-away stations in my workshop for each activity but couldn't quite get a grasp on what that'd look like.
Well, now I know it'll look exactly like this — a bunch of magnetic gridfinity modules snapping to two steel plates that fold against each other into a small box. Now I just need to source a bunch of sheet metal.
