When Microsoft named its new Windows feature Recall, the company intended the word to refer to a kind of perfect, AI-enabled memory for your device. Today, the other, unintended definition of “recall”—a company's admission that a product is too dangerous or defective to be left on the market in its current form—seems more appropriate.
On Friday, Microsoft announced that it would be making multiple dramatic changes to its rollout of its Recall feature, making it an opt-in feature in the Copilot+ compatible versions of Windows where it had previously been turned on by default, and introducing new security measures designed to better keep data encrypted and require authentication to access Recall's stored data.
“We are updating the set-up experience of Copilot+ PCs to give people a clearer choice to opt-in to saving snapshots using Recall,” reads a blog post from Pavan Davuluri, Microsoft's corporate vice president for Windows and devices. “If you don’t proactively choose to turn it on, it will be off by default.”
The changes come amid a mounting barrage of criticism from the security and privacy community, which has described Recall—which silently stores a screenshot of the user's activity every five seconds as fodder for AI analysis—as a gift to hackers: essentially unrequested, preinstalled spyware built into new Windows computers.
In the preview versions of Recall, that screenshot data, complete with the user's every bank login, password, and porn site visit would have been indefinitely collected on the user's machine by default. And though that highly sensitive data is stored locally on the user's machine and not uploaded to the cloud, cybersecurity experts have warned that it all remains accessible to any hacker who so much as gains a temporary foothold on a user's Recall-enabled device, giving them a long-term panopticon view of the victim's digital life.
"It makes your security very fragile,” as Dave Aitel, a former NSA hacker and founder of security firm Immunity, described it—more charitably than some others—to WIRED earlier this week. “Anyone who penetrates your computer for even a second can get your whole history. Which is not something people want.”
In addition to making Recall an opt-in feature, Microsoft’s Davuluri also writes that the company will make changes to better safeguard the data Recall collects and more closely police who can turn it on, requiring that users prove their identity via its Microsoft Hello authentication function any time they either enable Recall or access its data, which can require a PIN or biometric check of the user’s face or thumbprint. Davuluri says Recall’s data will remain encrypted in storage until the user authenticates.
All of that is a “great improvement,” says Jake Williams, another former NSA hacker who now serves as VP of R&D at the cybersecurity consultancy Hunter Strategy, where he says he's been asked by some of the firm's clients to test Recall's security before they add Microsoft devices that use it to their networks. But Williams still sees serious risks in Recall, even in its latest form.
Many users will turn on Recall, he points out, partly due to Microsoft’s high-profile marketing of the feature. And when they do, they’ll still face plenty of unresolved privacy problems, from domestic abusers that often demand partners give up their PINs to subpoenas or lawsuits that compel them to turn over their historical data. “Satya Nadella has been out there talking about how this is a game changer and the solution to all problems,” Williams says, referring to Microsoft's CEO. “If customers turn it on, there’s still a huge threat of legal discovery. I can’t imagine a corporate legal team that’s ready to accept the risk of all of a user’s actions being turned over in discovery.”
For Microsoft, the Recall rollback comes in the midst of an embarrassing string of cybersecurity incidents and breaches—including a leak of terabytes of its customers' data and a shocking penetration of government email accounts enabled by a cascading series of Microsoft security slipups—that have grown so problematic as to become a sticking point given its uniquely close relationship with the US government.
Those scandals have escalated to the degree that Microsoft's Nadella issued a memo just last month declaring that Microsoft would make security its first priority in any business decision. “If you’re faced with the trade-off between security and another priority, your answer is clear: Do security,” Nadella's memo read (emphasis his). “In some cases, this will mean prioritizing security above other things we do, such as releasing new features or providing ongoing support for legacy systems.”
By all appearances, Microsoft's rollout of Recall—even after today's announcement—displays the opposite approach, and one that seems more in line with business as usual in Redmond: Announce a feature, get pummeled for its glaring security failures, then belatedly scramble to control the damage.

Dell AI PCs: A Gateway To AI For Life Sciences Organizations
Tumblr media
AI in the Life Sciences: A Useful Method Using Computers.
For life sciences companies wishing to experiment with AI before making a full commitment, Dell AI PCs are perfect. The Dell AI PCs are revolutionary way to get started in the vast field of artificial intelligence, particularly for clients in the life sciences who are searching for a cost-effective way to create intricate processes.
The Dell AI PCs, GPU-enhanced servers, and cutting-edge storage solutions are essential to the AI revolution. If you approach the process strategically, it may be surprisingly easy to begin your AI journey.
Navigating the Unmarked Path of AI Transformation
The lack of a clear path is both an exciting and difficult part of the AI transition in the medical sciences. As it learn more about the actual effects of generative and extractive AI models on crucial domains like drug development, clinical trials, and industrial processes, the discipline continues to realize its enormous promise.
It is evident from discussions with both up-and-coming entrepreneurs and seasoned industry titans in the global life sciences sector that there are a variety of approaches to launching novel treatments, each with a distinct implementation strategy.
A well-thought-out AI strategy may help any firm, especially if it prioritizes improving operational efficiency, addressing regulatory expectations from organizations like the FDA and EMA, and speeding up discovery.
Cataloguing possible use cases and setting clear priorities are usually the initial steps. But according to a client, after just two months of appointing a new head of AI, they were confronted with more than 200 “prioritized” use cases.
When the CFO always inquires about the return on investment (ROI) for each one, this poses a serious problem. The answer must show observable increases in operational effectiveness, distinct income streams, or improved compliance clarity. A pragmatic strategy to evaluating AI models and confirming their worth is necessary for large-scale AI deployment in order to guarantee that the investment produces quantifiable returns.
The Dell AI PC: Your Strategic Advantage
Presenting the Dell AI PCs, the perfect option for businesses wishing to experiment with AI before committing to hundreds of use cases. AI PCs and robust open-source software allow resources in any department to investigate and improve use cases without incurring large costs.
Each possible AI project is made clearer by beginning with a limited number of Dell AI PCs and allocating skilled resources to these endeavors. Trials on smaller datasets provide a low-risk introduction to the field of artificial intelligence and aid in the prediction of possible results. This method guarantees that investments are focused on the most promising paths while also offering insightful information about what works.
Building a Sustainable AI Framework
Internally classifying and prioritizing use cases is essential when starting this AI journey. Pay close attention to data kinds, availability, preferences for production vs consumption, and choices for the sale or retention of results. Although the process may be started by IT departments, using IT-savvy individuals from other departments to develop AI models may be very helpful since they have personal experience with the difficulties and data complexities involved.
As a team, it is possible to rapidly discover areas worth more effort by regularly assessing and prioritizing use case development, turning conjecture into assurance. The team can now confidently deliver data-driven findings that demonstrate the observable advantages of your AI activities when the CFO asks about ROI.
The Rational Path to AI Investment
Investing in AI is essential, but these choices should be based on location, cost, and the final outcomes of your research. Organizations may make logical decisions about data center or hyperscaler hosting, resource allocation, and data ownership by using AI PCs for early development.
This goes beyond only being a theoretical framework. This strategy works, as shown by Northwestern Medicine’s organic success story. It have effectively used AI technology to improve patient care and expedite intricate operations, illustrating the practical advantages of using AI strategically.

Pet Zombie: Collab'oween Day 7 Bonus
Tumblr media
Unnamed Man (tho it was written with the idea of being 💜@inkyquince ‘s💜 vtm PC, Zacarie de Fay uwu) (he/him) x GN!Zombie (they/them)
Warnings: undead; kinda implied that he’s gonna stick his dick in a zombie; implied past relationship; manipulation; dubcon; mild pet play; slapping
Words: 663
Tumblr media
The scream is guttural, inhuman, and exactly what he wanted to hear as his darling pet thrashes against the bindings he’d secured them in. 
“There’s no use struggling, you know.” 
They don’t answer. He’s not sure they could answer. Once upon a time they’d spoken in full, if labored, sentences. Mostly cursing him, threatening to rip out his throat and rend him limb from limb. Not so much anymore. The last few weeks had only been growls and groans.
Until now.
They lunge forward again, bindings creaking as they try in vain to free themselves, to reach the meat he had placed just out of their reach. Another blood curdling screech rips from their throat, and he laughs.
“Becoming a zombie hasn’t much helped your intelligence, huh?”
Their eyes find his, wild and unfocused. Or, their gaze bores into the place where they think his eyes must be, hidden behind dark glasses. 
“Poor dear,” he coos, mocking clear as day even to the undead. Reaching out, he cups their face with a gloved hand, thumb caressing their cheekbone. Carefully, he slips a digit under the strap of leather securing their muzzle in place, flexing his finger to give it a quick test of strength. It’s the only thing they’re really wearing. What use did a zombie have for clothes? “Poor silly fool,” he coos again, smiling as they growl.  If they were more docile, he might have slipped the muzzle from their face, tucked his gloved thumb into the gash ripping open their jaw. Of course, they weren’t. 
The crack of the slap echos in the room, his cool smile still present as their head naps to the side. If they still lived, their cheek would already be turning red. As it was, they stopped growling, turning back to look at him. Their eyes seem to grow clearer and his grin widens. “Oh, are you here? Can you see me again?” 
They jerk towards him, teeth snapping as they try to bite him even muzzled. He moves back, laughter bouncing around the small room he designed just for these little play sessions with his pet. 
Running a gloved hand through perfectly styled blond hair, the smile drops. If a living person has witnessed it, they'd find the shift disturbing. But, there isn't. Just his dear zombie.  “Are you conscious in there, pet?”
They surge forward, bindings creaking but holding true. 
“Think you remember how to do your tricks, pup?” 
The zombie stills at the pet name, breathing becoming heavy as some recognition comes into their eyes.
“Oh, you do, don’t you?” He reaches behind him for the chair pushed into the corner, pulling it out and into the zombie's range of movement. It was a dangerous thing he was about to do, but one he was addicted to. This creature that, when he took care of it properly, would scream obscenities. Who would have taken pleasure in hunting him down and consuming his flesh, now reduced to its bassist instincts. Willing to do exactly what he wanted, debase themselves however he wished. Malleable, in a way. Just what he wanted.
Besides, no risk, no reward.
Sitting, he leans back, legs spread in a silent command. They hesitate, but only for a moment, shuffling forward. 
“Good pup,” he hums in approval, deftly unbuckling the clasp of his belt. If this was a perfect world, he’d have them doing this. Would have them kneeling at his feet, face pressed against his thigh. Heel, paw, tongue, present. A simple routine. Heel at his feet. Give him their hand. Stick out their tongue, letting him press down on it with a gloved thumb. Present…present. Would they ever get to that stage. He’d thought so at one point, but things had backslid with the whole…zombification. 
They gaze at him with hard eyes, breath ragged. Hate and hunger mixed together, reluctant obedience as they waited for their next command. 
Well, they’d get back to that point of Present eventually.

royale high blackwood manor (shooter minigame) tips
hi everyone, idk how much the Greater Royale High Community (tm) knows this stuff or how much people have figured it out, but i know a few friends haven't so im making a guide full of tips some of my friends have found useful.
blackwood manor is, with a little aim, EASILY the fastest way to farm candy (and for me the most fun). i've written this guide assuming that the player doesn't have much experience with the shooter genre at all just so i can cover all my bases.
THIS IS NOT A CANDIES GUIDE. it's a gameplay guide + analysis that may result in you getting more candies. all screenshots in this guide were taken on graphics setting 9.
this post includes:
what i consider the best FPS setup
how to see
some thoughts i have about how projectiles/enemies work
cosmetic tips
a tl;dr because it's too long
LASTLY, A DISCLAIMER: this is helpful for ME!!!!! if you have another system that works for you, feel free to share! this is not an attack on how anyone else plays the game or a presumption that i am the best royale high blackwood manor gamer, it's just a bunch of things i've found that my friends think is helpful.
how to play as an FPS the easiest way + visibility tips
DON'T PLAY ON MOBILE. i mean someone out there is gonna prove me wrong by being awesome at this game on mobile but i've heard nothing but complaints from mobile users playing this game. i have no clue how it handles on xbox. i play on PC with mouse and keyboard because it's how i play most shooters.
royale high has the shift button mapped to sprint, so playing as a TPS, you'll be right clicking and dragging a lot *or* toggling shiftlock all the time. FPS is the way to go.
when you zoom in, you may be met with your gun blocking your screen like this:
Tumblr media
the surest way i've found to get rid of this is to use the "ninja" or "crawl" walkpack. it's under animations -> walk packs. if you're unfamiliar with RH, note that you have to jump or walk to reset the walk pack. here's the FPS view for ninja, then crawl, both idle and when fighting at a standstill:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the main benefit to using crawl is that the gun is basically never visible, even when running and shooting, because it's below the HUD. this means you're never gonna have it blocking your vision. but when you look down, you're gonna see your RH nickname, since it's in front of your first person view sometimes. you can get rid of that by resetting your RH nickname to display your normal roblox display name, but the RH nickname is such a big social part of RH that idk if that's a benefit unless you really, REALLY can't handle seeing the gun shake.
that said, with ninja equipped, your gun WILL be in view when running and not shooting... so it depends on your preferences.
(i also suspect that you may have slightly less range with crawl. but i also suspect that is not actually an advantage in this minigame. more on that later.)
the elder animation is also pretty solid, but the takes up a lot of the screen when shooting. here's that for comparison.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
lighting tips
now you have to worry about seeing. it could be my monitor settings, but i see better WITHOUT the night vision goggles. (you can turn them off if you have them equipped in case you want them just for the looks.)
when i first wrote this i swore by the headlamp - but i turned my graphics settings down and noticed the effectiveness of the headlamp entirely depends on your graphics settings. to summarize:
on settings 1 and 2, it's so muted i can only tell it does something looking at my avatar. it hardly projects onto the environment at all.
on 3, its brightness is slightly more noticeable, but still pretty terrible.
on 4 and above, the spotlight is much clearer and it has a noticeable effect on the environment around it.
luckily, there's another way to make the environment glow that's fairly effective at all graphics settings: items designed to emit a nondirectional glow. this includes things like candles, lanterns, etc. a lot of wings i thought would do this don't; dewdrop mist does for some reason but it only helps a little. the items i listed will be the most effective, and they're best with the light source set to white. this will largely just help you with your immediate surroundings (i.e. running into a wall) but it does help. on graphics settings 1 thru 3, this is your most powerful option.
if you don't have any, there's a new item this royaloween that emits a good glow: the pumpkin wand. equip this and change the colors however you want, but make the light itself white. if you don't have the item, google a guide for royaloween 2023 chests and it'll be in there.
two warnings: 1) it'll look in third person mode on your avatar that stacking tons of glowing items adds more glow, but in first person mode i don't know if they help much. 2) not every item that has a bloom glow effect will emit an actual light source anywhere near your avatar.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
top: just the headlamp. middle: headlamp + Nightmare Cavern Lantern item. bottom: headlamp + Nightmare Cavern Lantern + Pumpkin Wand.
the game is always gonna be super dark appearance-wise, which is actually one of my least favorite things in a shooter. most of my navigation is done by just knowing the map, which is kinda unfortunate.
some combat thoughts i've had
the game is definitely designed to encourage you to seek out the ghosts. they can lose you by moving through walls, but they move at roughly your own walking pace. and while you can't go through walls, your bullets can. this means when they go through a wall, you can sprint to find them in a reasonable time frame, all while shooting at them.
your gun shoots a projectile which travels a short distance in front of you in an arc. i THINK the projectile is actually dealing damage to the ghosts, because shooting something out of range will miss if the projectile goes below it but your cursor is on the ghost. it also feels like the damage isn't dealt until the projectile lands on the ghost, so there's no invisible instantaneous damage arc.
this means you can arc your shots by firing them higher. if you haven't played a game where this is important, this means taking advantage of how the arc from the gun is shaped. if you aim slightly higher than the target, you can hit a target further away. if you've played a game with a bow and arrow, like botw/totk, you've probably done this. the same thing applies to this game.
that would be really useful, BUT!!! the ghost-sucking mechanic also encourages you to follow them. it can be REALLY tempting to stand around getting arc-snipes on the ghosts, but that means when it's time to capture them, you're across the map from them fighting your way thru dark walls trying to close the distance and someone else will get the ghost! you'll still collect candies for shooting the ghost, but you can collect even more if you suck them. plus, the timer means for some ghosts, you REALLY won't capture them alone unless you start immediately.
so when is arcing shots useful? simple: the biggest ghosts. the ghosts all hover about the same distance from the ground, and the ghosts with the highest XP are the tallest. these ghosts are going to attract a lot of players. if you want to get the most candy out of them, you NEED to be pumping damage into them. so if you can't pursue it and maneuver thru the map at the same time, it can be beneficial to hang back and aim at it from far away, THEN close the distance once it's almost time to capture it.
i think this is clever not only because "big ghost = more HP" makes a lot of sense if you've literally ever played a game before, but because their height encourages players to arc their shots anyways. the highest HP ghosts are the easiest to aim at from a distance. the tall skinny ones take a little more aim, but they're still easier to hit at a distance not just from the bigger hitbox, but because it encourages you to aim in a way that maximizes your range. pretty cool, huh?
just remember, if you've never played a shooter before: at range you need to aim ahead of the target with slower projectiles like the ones in this game.
also: the distance your gun travels is DEFINITELY dependent on how high it is from the ground. your range feels like it's HALVED when using crawl compared to ninja. this means the ideal way to play the game seems to be to equip super high heels and then use an animation that keeps the gun away from your vision.
cosmetic tips
save an outfit with the goggles and/or headlamp and you'll be able to use them year-round. i've been using the goggles all year this way. here i am wearing an outfit in royale high with them. second pic is to show you that the headlamp still works!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you can change the colors of the headlamp and night vision goggles. the night vision goggles even support patterns on the metal part. adding a pattern to the glowing eyes will make them stop glowing.
the headlamp will equip an average color if you try to use a pattern with the band. using a pattern or a dark color will cause the glow effect on the item to stop working, but the light emitted to the environment doesn't appear to depend on the color you select for the headlamp at all. ugly combination of the two for demonstration:
Tumblr media
if the headlamp doesn't go with your outfit, the skull crown layers really fantastically over it. it'll look like the skull is glowing.
Tumblr media
and, of course, combining that with the ability to change the colors of the lamp/goggles, you basically get custom glowing skull this way:
Tumblr media
my favorite combination for the night vis goggles is the breathe me mask. this is a super unpopular outfit item, but it works really well with the halloween gear. when it glows, it blocks the bulkiness of both items and only the lights show through. equipping a dark color or pattern will let all the details show through. both effects are super cool for a sci fi vibe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
but honestly, i will put these goggles over ANYTHING.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
in conclusion:
FPS is the best way to play the minigame. it gives you the most aim control while moving. if RH could map sprint to anything else TPS might be viable. but right now it's not. to play FPS, make sure you've got an animation equipped where the gun isn't in your face.
SAVE AN OUTFIT WITH THE EVENT ITEMS SO YOU CAN USE THEM ALL YEAR. THEY ARE FREE and if you play sunset they are SUPER HELPFUL IN SPACE/SCI FI THEMES.
equip a glowing item with white light to help you see.
happy hunting!

@dopepoisonivyoncrack
This ended up being very long, so I'll put it up in a post. It is under construction, I want to add some links with clearer guides. But I'm very bad at using the app, I have to see it later on the PC XD.
D&D has many classes and in general none are bad, just more difficult to use if one is not as experienced. In BG3 you are also not alone for a long time and your classmates have classes that complement well the one you choose. It is also possible to combine two classes on the same character.
I think the best classes are Bard, Cleric, Paladin, or Sorcerer. These classes offer great healing abilities, solid armor, and a wide variety of magic and spells for combat and exploration.
No class is good for everything, each has its advantage, but the best classes in BG3 often overlap. Having the best build for each class, including Companions, will also go a long way to improving their effectiveness.
The Bard is Support, I guess the best class is College of Valor.
In terms of support classes, you can't go wrong with a Bard. It has many abilities and allows you to succeed on dialogue checks often. Additionally, the class has a unique action called Bardic Inspiration, which grants a bonus to an ally's attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws. At level 4, all loadouts are refreshed by short rests, ensuring you have a nifty upgrade at the right time.
The Bard thrives on allies, so I then attach equipment combinations. They are strong in combat and good at social interactions. And I think he would go well alongside Astarion.
The Cleric is support and healer. The best subclass is Light. You've got everything you need, from restoration and radiant damage to improvements to your ability checks.
Likewise, clerics can use medium armor and shields, allowing them to withstand a few hits. But with Shadowheart on the team it would be enough.
The Paladin is Melee DPS, tank and healer. The best subclass is Oath of the Ancients.
Compared to Clerics, Paladins can wear heavy armor, making them even more tanky. The best are the Oath spells, such as the Oath of the Ancients and the Healing Radiance spell. Heals your entire team upon being cast, and once again at the start of a round, which is great for tough encounters.
The Sorcerer is Caster DPS with Metamagic utility the best subclass is Draconic Bloodline.
It is my favorite class but it is more complicated, I wouldn't recommend it so much. By using Sorcery Points, you can modify the effectiveness of spells and tricks. In general, sorcerers have access to many of BG3's best spells in combat.
It depends on each person's taste and comfort when playing, it is very good to try different ones. You can also change the class. I will add the links later, especially the group configuration link so that it is complementary. And another guide for what to do when you're just starting out. I hope it helps you! (^-^)/

Some thoughts on my thoughts on Numenera
I'm going to try and sort out my thoughts here. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about Numenera, from my own sessions, to reading the books again and again, to reminiscing about the big era of D20 inspired designs. I absolutely love Numenera the setting, but I've never been able to warm up to Numenera the system for Numenera the setting.
Numenera, for those uninitiated, is an RPG by Monte Cook Games that came out in 2013. The hook is that you are playing on Earth, but 1 billion years in the future. The 8 (maybe) great civilizations that have come before manipulated and toyed with reality in a way that would seem like magic to us, and each of them left behind their devices and structures and changes to the world. In come the current humans, with no true understanding of any of these wondrous technological marvels - the numenera - and try to rediscover all this lost knowledge.
Let me be clear - Numenera the setting is brilliant. Monte Cook has proven back with Ptolus that he can worldbuild weird and wonderful settings, and this game is so full of strange ideas and mind-bending possibility that I'm itching to explore it.
Numenera is also a system, one that was later extracted and turned into the universal Cypher System, with lots of advice on how to run various genres with it. I like the Cypher System, I think it has a lot of great innovations and is light-weight enough for me to be comfortable with it. HOWEVER, more and more I have this nagging feeling that it's a bad fit for Numenera the setting. And I'm trying to figure out why.
So, I guess Part 1, What is the game about?
Part 1 - What is the game about?
On my journey in becoming a game designer, I had certain tenets drilled into me, mainly that if the game is about something, the game mechanics should help emphasize that the game is about that thing. This manifests in two basic questions asked at the beginning when nailing down a game's design goals:
What is the game about?
How is the game about that?
This is the basic approach I intuitively have whenever I read a new game and evaluate how it might play (and if I would enjoy it). So what do the answers look like here for Numenera?
Question 1 is simple, the game text itself tells us this explicitly: "The Ninth World is about discovering the wonders of the worlds that came before it," and "discovery is the soul Numenera". And on page 123 of Numenera Discovery, we get this entire section:
The core of gameplay in Numenera - the answer to the question "What do characters do in this game? - is "Discover new things or old things that are new again."
It doesn't get much clearer than this. "What do the characters do" is literally one of the questions to ask during ideation, and again and again the designers tell us that they want the game to be about discovering things.
So how is the game about that? It... kind of isn't. At least not mechanically. The only thing referencing discovery in a mechanical sense is that one of the two ways PCs gain experience points is through discoveries.
Then what does the game actually have?
Part 2 - The actual game itself
Many parts of the rules system are rightfully celebrated. The character system with its three parts ("I am a Clever Glaive who Rides the Lightning", "I am a Graceful Nano who Crafts Illusions") is beautifully evocative and makes for character titles that sound cool.
The core resolution mechanic of lowering task difficulty and the associated "casting from hit point" effort mechanic are a nice change of pace, if a bit fiddly at times. And GM intrusions are a superbly elegant way for the GM to influence the narrative while buying player trust.
And then of course there are the eponymous cyphers, bits of forgotten devices that nobody truly understands, and used in ways completely divorced from their original purpose (like using a laptop battery as an explosive). They inject a constant stream of weird into a game that's all about weird, and mechanically produce a rotating roster of new and varied character abilities that can be controlled by the GM.
That said, many levels of the game are confusing to me. From a high level perspective, Numenera attempts to be a more rules-light, rulings-not-rules kind of game that gives the group a core resolution mechanic which allows for some interesting gameplay decisions, and leave the rest up to the group to make up. Per se, this is not a problem.
I've played plenty of rules-light games that take a more "toolbox" approach (is that a term? I'm just going to use it as a term). That is, give everyone at the table a solid resolution mechanic, tips on how to apply it to different situations, and then let them have a go at it.
So there's a lack of guidance from the system in helping the players tell the types of stories the game is ostensibly about, and instead provides a hammer to hit every nail the GM puts in the players' way. But even with this view, something was still bugging me about the ruleset, but to see it, we have to delve deeper.
Part 3 - Ruling the mystery out of discovery
The problem comes when, delving deeper, details and individual crunch start to rear their head. For instance, the game uses abstracted distances (immediate, short, long), but then many of the cypher effects include very precise measurements for time, distance, weight etc.
Similarly, actions and tasks that players can perform are handled very loosely; the game features no fixed skill list, and "positive or friendly social interactions with other people" functions like a skill with mechanical bonuses. And yet, class abilities are rife with detailed conditions and/or effects.
It feels like a framework that is very vague, but with very specific rules once you actually choose to do anything.
And in a way, this is the biggest rub. The flavor of numenera keeps reinforcing how everything around the players is Weird StuffTM left behind by unimaginably advanced civilizations, and yet mechanically, it's function is explained so much detail that the mystique of it all vanishes. Just like someone explaining a joke or a magic trick, the game tears aside the curtain to show you the wizard behind it, and hopes you'll buy into the illusion anyway.
To say nothing of how the rules feel confused. This is reflected in the detailed-yet-not-actually-detailed-enough combat system, and the way the game tries to reassure you that it doesn't have to be about combat, and yet puts such a heavy emphasis on it with is character abilities, traits, and an entire class (of three) devoted to nothing else but fighting.
At this point, the game suddenly feels like a vague recipe that just tells you to do whatever, but all the ingredients are very precise in their usage. It has led to restrictive play with constant checking of details on both sides of the screen in my own sessions, completely counter to the premise and promise of the system as a whole.
It just feels so misplaced, I guess.
Part 4 - What now?
So what's the point of all this? This was mainly to sort through my thoughts on this game. I really love Numenera as a setting, but playing it with what is now the Cypher System never felt right. Writing all this is helping me see the parts I enjoy and the parts I don't.
And it'll likely lead to some form of homebrewing, adapting, or redesigning the game to fit my purposes, and with my thoughts more in order, I can go about that with a clearer direction and goal.
If you've stuck with me to here, thank you, and maybe you've gained a bit of insight into game design, specifically for Numenera. Don't let my thoughts dissuade you from trying this game. It's very beloved by many, and the setting is one of the most interesting I've ever come across.
Until next time.

It’s honestly heartbreaking seeing the unraveling of this game in real time.
(This is really long sorry I’m just passionate about pcotr)
I initially just started playing Paladins in late 2018 as a sort of substitute since Overwatch hadn’t come out on Switch yet; however i very quickly got really attached and have grown to love this game more than I could ever love OW. I used to play nonstop in high school (which isn’t really that far behind me but still). I have a bunch of core memories related to it, like when i sat on my floor in the middle of the night watching io’s reveal trailer and how proud i was when i 100% completed the community pass, quests and all.
But sadly that all feels so distant now. The game has changed so much it’s not really recognizable, and it feels like it’s suffering and being suffocated by its own developers. This update made that clearer than ever to me and its devastating to watch. U/mesprizero made a post on Reddit that explains it pretty well but i still wanna share some opinions of my own.
I never did much with the bounty store so I don’t mind that being gone, i got maybe 5 skins i liked from it total. Indifferent.
The first thing that irked me about this update was the departure of the Trials, i liked doing those to get rewards since the short format of the current event passes gives so little, especially for players that don’t pay for the full pass. One major change I’d make is bring the 100-level battle pass format back for sure. It feels like there’s next to nothing to work towards with how things are now.
I know we’ve all complained about how painfully basic Nyx’s design is (she’s the Queen of the Abyss for crying out loud), but her damage output is horrendous as well. I get she’s a tank and not DPS focused but even most tanks can sustain decant damage rates on their own. And her voice literally sounds exactly like Octavia’s, there’s nothing unique about her in that regard.
That brings me to the part of the update that was by far the most infuriating to me; the total removal of the splash arts. My discovery of that made me so angry; Thunderbrush and all the artists that worked on those with/before him spent so much time on the thousands of existing arts and they just casually all get shelved and replaced with incredibly lazy render screenshots of the models. It’s unbelievable, truly. I can’t properly put into words how much this pisses me off especially.
The new UI is fine, it could obviously use some polishing since its new but its not particularly bad to me. Indifferent.
Another thing that made me irrationally upset, the fact that Payload mode is straight up not available on the Switch at all. It’s pretty obvious the devs have seriously neglected its Switch players (textures don’t load most of the time & the game has reached a point where it constantly crashes), but this feels particularly disrespectful in a weird way. I never got to play Payload during its original run so i was excited to try it for the first time, only for the official twitter to state THE DAY BEFORE THE UPDATE that its not available on there, too bad. That just feels like a kick to the face as a Switch player, y’know? I know what you’re thinking, ‘just play on another platform’, that’s the thing, i don’t have another platform to play the game on. Switch is my only option. Not everyone can afford a gaming PC or another console, i certainly can’t. If you’re gonna make a game multi/cross-platform, please make everything on all the platforms the same. Is that too much to ask lmao
If i need to add stuff later i will, but i think thats it for now. As much as i don’t want to give up on this game I’ve held dear for so long, it’s become practically impossible in it’s current state. I have no hope left for it’s future. :((

They've also tweaked habitat borders, so it’s clearer where each creature comes from when selected. Plus, you’ll see easy to understand color indicators showing whether a habitat is uninhabited, occupied, or just plain unsuitable for a creature.

14% of PCs shipped globally in Q2 2024 were AI-capable
Tumblr media
According to the latest Canalys data, 8.8 million AI-capable PCs were shipped in Q2 2024. These devices are defined as desktops and notebooks that include a chipset or block for dedicated AI workloads, such as an NPU. Shipments of AI-capable PCs represented 14% of all PCs shipped in the quarter. With all major processor vendors’ AI-capable PC roadmaps now well underway, the stage is set for a significant ramp-up in device availability and end-user adoption in the second half of 2024 and beyond.  “The second quarter of 2024 added significant momentum to the expansion of AI-capable PCs,” said Ishan Dutt, Principal Analyst at Canalys. “June saw the launch of Copilot+ PCs incorporating Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X series of chips, based on Arm architecture. While shipment volumes in the quarter were relatively small due to the limited weeks and geographical coverage of availability, the broad commitment of Windows OEMs to adopt these products into their portfolios bodes well for the category’s outlook. In the x86 space, Intel ramped up its delivery of Core Ultra chipsets, reporting strong sequential performance for its AI PC products, while AMD announced its Ryzen AI 300 series of notebook processors in June, with product releases starting in mid-July.”   “With a strong foundation now set, AI-capable PC shipments are poised to gain further traction in the second half of 2024,” added Dutt. “Processor vendors and OEMs are set to target a wider base of customers through new product category availability across more price points. Meanwhile, channel partners are signaling a preference for AI-related features in PCs, with close to 60% of respondents in a May poll indicating that they expect customers to favor devices with a Copilot key. The market performance of AI-capable PCs has largely aligned with expectations and the industry remains on track to ship around 44 million units in 2024 and 103 million units in 2025, according to Canalys forecasts.”  Vendor and platform highlights  With its entire Mac portfolio incorporating M-series chips with the Neural Engine, Apple boasts the highest AI-capable PC shipments and share of the portfolio currently. The announcement of Apple Intelligence, which is now in the developer beta stage in the US, brought greater clarity to AI use cases for Mac. When the features go live, they will be compatible with the vast majority of the existing Mac installed base, providing Apple with rapid scaling of users’ exposure to its AI experiences.    In the Windows space, AI-capable PC shipments grew 127% sequentially. Lenovo, the highest shipping PC vendor globally, made its foray into Snapdragon X powered PCs with the Yoga Slim 7x and ThinkPad T14s, helping to boost the AI-capable share of its total Windows PC shipments to around 6% in the quarter. This represents a sequential growth of 228% for its AI-capable PC shipments. HP achieved around 8% AI-capable PC share within its Windows shipments, with the launch of the Omnibook X 14 and EliteBook Ultra G1 Snapdragon Copilot+ PCs on top of its broadening offerings of Core Ultra devices across various product lines. Dell had just below 7% of its Windows shipments represented by AI-capable PCs, backed by its strong commercial presence. It launched Copilot+ PCs across its XPS, Latitude and Inspiron lines but with staggered availability.    “A key benefit from AI-capable PCs that has materialized for PC OEMs is the growth boost within their premium offerings,” added Dutt. “Windows PC shipments in the above US$800 range grew 9% sequentially in Q2 2024, with AI-capable PC shipments in those price bands up 126%. As the range of features from first- and third-party applications that leverage the NPU increase and the benefits to performance and efficiency become clearer, the value proposition for AI-capable PCs shall remain strong. This is especially important over the next 12 months as a significant portion of the installed base will be refreshed as part of the ongoing Windows upgrade cycle.”   Canalys AI-capable PC definition:   At a minimum, an AI-capable PC must be a desktop or notebook possessing a dedicated chipset or block to run on-device AI workloads. Examples of these dedicated chipsets include AMD’s XDNA, Apple’s Neural Engine, Intel’s AI Boost and Qualcomm’s Hexagon.  Read the full article

Pokémon Improvements I Loved
Gold to Ruby
The MUSIC! I never thought I was the biggest fan of RSE's soundtrack (I think my favorites are DPPt, HGSS, and XY), but just hearing the improvement in the quality of the music, seeing how the composers could play with more instruments and parts to make the music more dynamic, was really cool. I was particularly fond of the Dive theme.
RUNNING SHOES!!! It is soooo nice to be able to go fast without getting on and off the bike constantly. I'm not sure running had to be associated with an item, especially these days, but just the fact that you can run at all and run so easily was wonderful.
Being able to choose your gender. It's kind of wild how, 20 years ago, having the choice between a boy and girl player avatar was a big deal, especially because games nowadays are kind of moving away from that (e.g., in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you're prompted to choose your "style" instead of your gender, and you can change it at any time). But for me at least, being able to play as a girl is nice. I could mostly ignore the fact that you have to play as a boy in RBY, but in Gold and Silver, there's quite a bit of gendered language and it just took me by surprise. My favorite is when you battle Blue; before the fight, he says "Ready, Johto boy?" P.S. I know you could play as a girl in Crystal, but since I played Gold as my Gen II game, this is the first time I'm getting the option.
The game makes it much clearer when an attack misses and when an attack doesn't affect the opponent. In Gens I and II, if an attack misses or it doesn't affect the opponent (like, using a ground move on a flying type), the game just says "It didn't affect ____!" It was really unclear to me, so I'm glad they finally changed it in Gen III.
When you're going to teach a Pokémon a new move, the game shows you a screen with all its current moves and the new one. You can see all the moves' power and accuracy, so you can make an informed choice about which moves you want your Pokémon to have.
The little pop-ups that tell you what route or town you're (again, I know this was added in Crystal, see my point on gender above).
Every city has unique houses, which really sets them apart from each other.
Dive is a really cool concept as an HM. Unfortunately, I didn't end up using it that much, because I didn't have enough patience to deal with the slow movement speed. But it's such a neat idea! Diving underwater to discover new Pokémon and hidden caves (especially as a part of the Regi Trio side quest) made me feel like I was discovering an uncharted new world. I'm looking forward to diving more in ORAS, where your character will hopefully move faster than in the originals.
Double battles! As I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of the meta game, but double battles give a lot more variety for Pokémon. It's nice to just have a different style of battling in the main game from time to time. Plus, at least in later games if not this one, you can team up with a friend in multiplayer battles, so battling with your friends can be a teamwork experience or an adversarial one.
Every Pokémon has a unique sprite in the party menu. It's nothing particularly mind-blowing, but it's a nice touch.
The PC's Pokémon storage system! God, it is so much easier to organize your Pokémon into little boxes instead of having a bunch of lists to navigate. It makes the Boxes feel much bigger, too, like you can store more Pokémon than you used to.

How do Instructional Technology Create Teaching and Grasping More Effective in the Universities?
Codexperfect.com
In the past few years associated with research on training technology has triggered a clearer eyesight of how technological know-how can affect teaching together with learning.

For instance, instructional concept creates an active natural world in which students don't just inquire, but also establish problems of curiosity to them. Such an adventure would integrate your subjects of technological know-how, social studies, math concepts, science, and words arts with the possibility create student-centered recreation. Most educational solutions experts agree, nevertheless , that technology ought to be integrated, not as some other subject or to be a once-in-a-while project, nonetheless as a tool to advertise and extend scholar learning on a daily basis.
Codexperfect.com
At present, classroom teachers may well lack personal working experience with technology in addition to present an additional obstacle. In order to incorporate technology-based activities and initiatives into their curriculum, all those teachers first have to find the time to discover how to use the tools along with understand the lingo necessary for participation around projects or functions. They must have the ability to make use of technology to improve university student learning as well as minimize the stress personal professional improvement.
Instructional technology enables students by fixing skills and principles through multiple representations and enhanced visual images. Its benefits comprise increased accuracy together with speed in data files collection and graphing, real-time visualization, the cabability to collect and examine large volumes with data and cooperation of data set and interpretation, and a lot more varied presentation involving results. Technology at the same time engages students inside higher-order thinking, increases strong problem-solving abilities, and develops deeply understanding of concepts and additionally procedures when implemented appropriately.
Technology ought to play a critical position in academic subject material standards and ones own successful implementation. Requirements reflecting the appropriate using technology should be weaved into the standards, criteria and grade-level signs and symptoms. For example , the requirements should include expectations to get students to calculate fluently using report and pencil, technology-supported and mental tactics and to use graphing calculators or pcs to graph in addition to analyze mathematical family relationships. These expectations has to be intended to support some sort of curriculum rich in using technology rather than limitation the use of technology so that you can specific skills or even grade levels. Know-how makes subjects reachable to all students, like those with special requirements. Options for assisting kids to maximize their benefits and progress in a very standards-based curriculum can be expanded through the use of technology-based support and surgery.

Benefits of the use of those technology tools involve increased accuracy in addition to speed in knowledge collection and graphing, real-time visualization, interactive modeling of covered science processes along with structures, the ability to pull together and analyze big volumes of info, collaboration for facts collection and meaning, and more varied displays of results.
Solutions integration strategies for information instructions. Beginning in kindergarten and extending because of grade 12, a variety of technologies can be built a part of everyday illustrating and learning, where by, for example , the use of meter sticks, hand improved lenses, temperature probes together with computers becomes some seamless part of just what teachers and scholars are learning and additionally doing. Contents professors should use concept in ways that make it easy for students to carryout inquiries and participate in collaborative activities. Around traditional or teacher-centered approaches, computer technological know-how is used more with regard to drill, practice in addition to mastery of simple skills.
The usage strategies employed in these kinds of classrooms are mentor centered because of the manner they supplement teacher-controlled activities and for the reason that software used to provide drill and put into practice is teacher decided on and teacher given. The relevancy associated with technology in the lifestyles of young individuals and the capacity from technology to enhance teachers' efficiency are making an effort to raise students' results in new along with exciting ways.
Since students move through level levels, they can drawn in increasingly sophisticated hands-on, inquiry-based, personally appropriate activities where they will investigate, research, quantify, compile and assess information to reach final thoughts, solve problems, create predictions and/or find alternatives. They can describe how science quite often advances with the benefits of new solutions and how helping you out with technological problems regularly results in new controlled knowledge. They should express how new engineering often extend present day levels of scientific comprehending and introduce cutting edge areas of research. They will explain why essential concepts and standards of science together with technology should be a portion of active debate for the economics, policies, national politics and ethics of varied science-related and technology-related challenges.
Students have grade-level appropriate class experiences, enabling it to learn and to be capable of do science within the active, inquiry-based type where technological resources, resources, methods and additionally processes are readily available in addition to extensively used. When students integrate solutions into learning about along with doing science, concentration should be placed on tips on how to think through problems together with projects, not just what things to think.
Technological equipment and resources may possibly range from hand lens and pendulums, to be able to electronic balances and additionally up-to-date online computing devices (with software), to help methods and functions for planning in addition to doing a project. Kids can learn simply by observing, designing, connecting, calculating, researching, construction, testing, assessing problems and benefits, along with modifying structures, items and processes : while applying their particular developing knowledge of knowledge and technology. A lot of students in the colleges, at all age degrees, might have some know-how in the use of know-how, however K-12 they will recognize that science together with technology are interconnected and that using concept involves assessment for the benefits, risks and additionally costs. Students will need to build scientific in addition to technological knowledge, and also the skill required to pattern and construct gadgets. In addition , they should establish the processes to eliminate problems and recognize that problems may be fixed in several ways.
Swift developments in the type and uses with technology, particularly with electronic tools, determines how students discover.

Also, specified the pre-2000's period of the film, it truly is entirely possible that all but the foremost "senior" hardcore geeks overlooked this undetectable gem of a motion picture.
geek out
Sneakers is THE dvd movie that unassumingly ushered in the dawn within the digital age in the critical crossroad amongst the innocent idealism with the 1980's (the utopia could-be digital period that might come) compared to taking a glimpse towards how some would likely embrace the black, greedier or strength hungry side for the digital revolution of which started to rear the country's ugly head during the time. All that seriousness out, Sneakers drops you and me squarely at this critical crossroads and concept experiment but in a good movie that is like fun, adventurous along with exciting as the Goonies.
Sneakers can also certainly lay claim with the big screen debut with what it means as being a geek from each of the technical standpoints. Certainly, other blockbusters provided us glimpses involving geekism but simply no other movie paints a clearer or maybe more complete view within the modern geek over the big screen prior to Athletic shoes. Bold claims, we understand, but if you didn't seen this must-see of geekiness, supply it a chance together with tell us we're incorrect afterwards.
Sneakers' report is fortuitous presented when it was authored. The idea of computers appearing central to a movie's plot was at the same time a novel idea at the time but "Sneakers" embraced this completely new tech with offered arms, using it being the driving force regarding the story.
That film follows some sort of team of laptop or computer experts and stability specialists who are tasked with retrieving some mysterious black proverbial box that can decode any kind of encrypted message. This story is interesting and exciting nonetheless add in an all-star cast that includes examples of the biggest names inside Hollywood at the time that movie truly increases into the history publications of geekism.
Robert Redford plays Martin Bishop, the leader in the team of personal pc experts and reliability specialists. Redford's capabilities is both charismatic and charming, and additionally he brings a feel for of gravitas for the film that is vital for its success. Sidney Poitier plays Cosmo, a former mathematician who is now your street-smart hustler. Poitier's performance is a high light of the film, in addition to his character gives both humor along with heart to the scenario.

The film's clever plot twists and turns moreover keep the audience to the edge of their seating, as the story originates in unexpected techniques. Surprisingly, the show has also aged exceptionally well considering it orbits around early 1990's tech.
An reliable mention here is the film's score by one of the many greats, James Horner. You have to remember that Kenny-G and his woodwind sidekick were major during this time period however , aside from that, the soundtrack is amazing. This captures the concept of staying at the dawn with the digital age along with absolute perfection and additionally we could listen to all this day long despite the fact that we code. Your sounds masterfully mix the high-stakes motion and humor by using classical and advanced tones and defeats. The orchestral essentials layered with the occasional operatic vocals in addition to digital undertones set the listener for the blending crossroads from digital and non-digital, dawn and sundown, and clearly gifts to us a good question, just as your film does.
A question, "Where can we go out of here? "
From its core, "Sneakers" is a movie within the crossroads of pc systems used for good or simply greed. The character types are faced with a question of how to proceed with the power that your black box gives, and their judgements speak to the larger honourable dilemma of technology's role in the community.
