JetBrains are going to discontinue the lightweight Fleet IDE and will instead focus on "agentic" tools (aka, AI). The new app was developed for many years and was widely available since 2021, but didn't get significant traction in the industry.

If you have a recent NVIDIA RTX card, there's a DLSS Override in NVIDIA App that allows you to replace DLSS binaries safely in supported apps.

It made several games much sharper, but didn't work well in Cyberpunk 2077. The game has a unique DLSS, trained on their own data, so the replacement makes image quality worse.

But most of the supported games (even fairly new Dying Light The Beast) became much clearer. It also compensates a lot of TAA artifacts and ghosting without any changes to TAA settings.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon - Sanctuary of Sarras - Expansion Announcement Trailer

Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, Kick, Twitch, and TikTok are no longer available for kids and teens in Australia.

Platforms have to lock access for all users under 16 or get fined. They are already rolling out updates. Teens were and still are fighting for their rights in court, but seemingly losing.

The recent Steam and Itchio censorship was also coming from Australia and the whole movement is ruled by a bunch of Karens. Sadly enough, they are still considering more "social" platforms to ban for kids, including Steam and GitHub (yep, not kidding).

It's not yet a widely known thing, but one fella is making forks of Unreal Engine 4 and 5 to move away from Nanites and Lumen, but also from Chaos Physics.

Instead he brings GI library from NVIDIA (which they open sourced time ago), tessellation, PhysX (which was also open sourced), and so on.

Which unfortunately means, he works with 5.0 as the primary source and backport some features to 4.x. For example, nice animation and modelling tools are unavailable.

To use the fork you have to be in Epic Games organization on GitHub (due to how Unreal Engine is distributed). Yes, even forks are tracked by Epic.

The only thing is stable in this world: CDPR games will crash on you more often than people! 🤣

UPD: Apparently, you can't use HairWorks, it's broken on the remastered version.

And yet another note on modern games optimization: some areas in Hogwarts Legacy are just broken. You can throw all hardware in the universe into Hogsmeade, but your CPU and GPU will not get busy.

Though, the game will not run well anyway!

Exceptionally light
And wrong 100% of the time
