The biggie for me was always the one with the Sabre Turbo. Poised at a crossroads, black with an impossible shine, like an oil slick on tarmac, reflections iridescent. A fool in a red sports car in front, the city surrounding, mountains in the distance. A car coiled up at that intersection like the whole potential of that game's world was spring-loaded within it, waiting at the ready. Read more Read more ›

Жизнь в стране с жарким климатом волей-неволей заставляет взяться за выращивание чего-либо. Я этот путь начал с острых перцев чили, которым нужно много солнца и регулярный полив. Сняв пару урожаев, я задумался о том, что было бы здорово попробовать выращивать их на гидропонике, то есть когда у вас вообще нет почвы, а корни растения живут в субстрате вроде кокосового волокна или керамзита.Основной проблемой становится непрерывное снабжение корней питательным раствором, который...

Longtime Slashdot reader schwit1 shares a report from PetaPixel: China dominates the consumer drone market, so it is perhaps surprising that it is no longer possible to fly or even purchase a drone in Beijing. The new law that passed last month makes it illegal to buy, rent, or fly a drone without prior approval from the authorities. Users must also complete an online training session and pass a test...

Security researcher Justin O'Leary says Google initially accepted his Config Connector privilege-escalation report as a high-priority, high-severity bug, then denied a bounty by declaring the behavior "working as intended." "Google initially rated the bug high priority and high severity, with a rep telling O'Leary 'Nice Catch!' Then, the cloud giant changed course and told O'Leary [...] that there's no vulnerability, so no fix and no reward payout," reports The Register.... Read more ›

Apple is allowing iPhone developers in Brazil to distribute apps through authorized alternative marketplaces and use third-party payment systems following action by the country's competition regulator.

Apple will collect commissions ranging from 5% on externally distributed apps to as much as 26% for some... Read more ›
