Do you know the feeling when you look at a system and how it behaves and think "this cannot be it"? This is how I felt when working on LazerBunny this week. Somehow, for some reason the MCP approach struck me as less favourable, and after some experimenting I completely dropped MCP from the existing timer service. I also had a bit more fun with voice cloning and slowly narrowing in on the final solution.
I have seen more and more people talk about human.json lately and I think it is a pretty neat idea. From what I can tell it checks all the boxes I would expect from a protocol like this.
Back in 2024, I ordered the Worlds (basically their World Cup?) statue of League of Legends. I did not hear anything from Riot for over one and a half years. When I opened a support ticket, I got the very helpful response, “We did not cancel your order.” I checked twice if they snuck in the word "yet" somewhere. But just a few months later, my prepaid statue of Luxanna Crowngaurd finally arrived.
When the RTX 5090 was released I was already very much not in favor of the whole DLSS marketing that went into it and how it gave a very unrealistic view of the performance compared to the previous generation. Companies obviously make numbers look as good as possible during release announcements. Thankfully most reviewers simply do their own benchmarking and we get numbers without imaginary frames. But like power connectors going up in flames Nvidia found a way to double down on stupid.
There is an update to Apples platform security guide explicitly addressing the camera indicator. As I was playing the "think of the children" card when collecting my thoughts about the Neo I thought it is worth mentioning that things are a bit more nuanced than I made it seem. We all know Apples hardware security and Secure Enclave is pretty good(tm).
