На ум приходят разве что Battlefield 1 и серия MMO-шутеров от студии BlackMill Games: Verdun, Tannenberg, Isonzo и пока еще не вышедшая Gallipoli.Однако в марте 2026 года состоялся релиз Over The Top: WW1 — многопользовательской стрелялки, которая вместо навыков стрельбы и скорости реакции геймеров-одиночек на первое место ставит командные усилия, умение...

Наши обыденные представления о традиционной японской кухне несколько отличаются от реальности. Суши — блюдо со сложной биографией, которое в знакомой нам форме сформировалось не в Японии, а в среде японских эмигрантов на западном побережье США. Рамен принесли в Страну восходящего солнца уже китайские иммигранты. Да и в виде лапши быстрого приготовления, которая многими японцами считается главным национальным изобретением XX столетия, её придумал выходец с Тайваня. Тэмпура — результат знакомства с...

And there are predictions that quantum computers will finally do something useful as soon as 2028: The drama can overshadow the real progress in quantum computing... Researchers have improved the qubits themselves, so they hold onto information longer. When they hold onto information... Read more ›

Slashdot reader wiredmikey writes: AI security researchers have uncovered a structural security flaw dubbed GuardFall that allows decades-old Bash shell tricks to bypass safeguards in most open source AI coding agents. By exploiting shell behaviors such as quote removal and variable expansion, attackers can hide malicious commands in repositories, README files, Makefiles, or other content consumed by AI agents.

Back in 2005 Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer even said that a low corporate tax rate "is part of the overall advantage of doing business in Ireland," remembers long-time Slashdot reader theodp.
