My 8 year old, improved his English skills a lot from playing Spy Fox. It's a series of funny point and click adventure games from Ron Gilbert's (of Monkey Island fame) company after leaving Lucasfilm.

People where mocking EU for regulations and now this is happening in the US. I know that Europe is behind in AI but still...

Network permissions could be used to avoid ads on Android. The horror!

Iteration 7 would be interesting as a video (for a video).

Artist who spent 20 years making a scale model of every building in NYC, makes a living as a truck driver.

One concern is that if an EU company becomes very successful, it could easily be acquired by a large U.S. corporation.

So it should be an accessibility setting. I don't mind if the default is on or off.

In Greece it was released as "Τελευταία έξοδος: Ρίτα Χέιγουορθ" literally "Last Exit: Rita Hayworth". People were saying, jokingly, that the title was a spoiler.

Hey, fellow civil-engineering-software designer here! [https://www.anadelta.com/en/anadelta-tessera/] Same story, same problems with dongles, perpetual & subscription licenses.

It's another sign that -by some measure- "America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism". There was this opinion piece some months ago in the New York Times by Steven Levitsky, Lucan Way and Daniel Ziblatt which I recalled when I read this. [https://archive.is/WZMpM]

I have not tried C++, but Codex did a good job with low-level C code, shaders as well as porting 32 bit to 64 bit assembly drawing routines. I have also tried it with retro-computing programming with relative success.

Yes! I’d really appreciate a comparison of Android Auto/CarPlay support, overall responsiveness, and especially the user-experience side, like whether you can permanently turn off beeps and warnings, and how usable (or annoying) the smart features and alerts are.

Mousetrap the board game is the opposite: Hard to setup, almost zero playtime, very hard to put back in the box.

Repeat twice a day because the kids love the idea of the game!

I use one of them to make an old EEE laptop a dedicated Pico-8 machine for my kids. [https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php]

There is an effort to rewrite the games from the book Basic computer games in modern languages. The word game is here: https://github.com/coding-horror/basic-computer-games/tree/m...

You can click on it to change to Celsius!

Great. Someone now has to make a real video footage detector, so people don't fall for reverse-scams /s

One of the first emails I've sent in my life was to Tim Clarke asking how Mars did work and I was so happy he answered! I remember the graph with the stars.

I think a European CloudFlare would be nice to exist.

Nice! Everything, the colors, the font, the Ready prompt remind me of the Amstrad CPC I grew up with!

Veo 3 is Google's latest AI video generation model.

That may be partially true, but it's also important to understand that the US benefited a lot from that. Scientists from all over the world moved to work in the US, students looked forward to studying there and working in US companies, etc.

That is changing. Children in my country are moving from learning English to French and German in order to study in European universities. This started after Brexit and will accelerate now.

That's fantastic!

I would love something like this in my living room. Especially if it is not just a screen. Maybe a grid of 256 screens? Or inflating balloons? Something easier to make? Just on/off big pixels?

It's Finland. The school should give a Nokia 3310 to each kid.

Next we should try "Excel emulation via Neural Network". We get rid of a lot of intermediate steps, calculations, user interface etc!

What could go wrong?

Jokes aside, this is insanely cool!

I think these connected to TV devices are a wasted opportunity for gaming. They are great for family type video games and with some marketing from apple or Google they could sell tons of games. I happily paid for Beach Buggy, a Mario Kart type game, my kids are loving it and I think that the company makes a lot of money from this game alone.

But the support from Google is abysmal. No search functionality, developer hostility when trying to publish something etc.

And since Apple is here, please help adding support for Apple TV. Apple and Android TV support sometimes makes the difference when choosing an engine.

> What still baffles me is how people act like this was some kind of thoughtful decision

Maybe it's the "Why not inject disinfectant to beat covid" [1] for the economy. But this time nobody around him said no. (note: added around him)

My banking app stopped working when I installed an app with "root" in the name, without actually having a rooted phone.

So the 3dparty component doing the "security" check for the banking apps is a little overzealous.
