We’re guessing the July 4 weekend was not too relaxed for some folks at Microsoft. Today we got news that the company is laying off 4,800 people—around 2% of its total workforce—mostly in sales and at its troubled Xbox business. It's also selling at least four, and probably five, small gaming studios. Asha Sharma, Microsoft’s new gaming chief, had foreshadowed the gaming cuts last month, and on Monday she doubled down on how bad things were at Xbox, declaring in a staff memo also posted on X that “our busin

Ведь в такой схеме гостевая OS физически “слепа”, так как она не знает реального IP хоста и не имеет каналов для прямой утечки пакетов?Но "бункер" может и пасть. И причины будут неприятными.Я совершенно случайно обратил внимание,... Read more ›

Но через 2,5 месяца мы вдвоём запустили гео-аналитическую платформу, которую в до-AI эпоху строили бы годами. Это поменяло моё представление о... Read more ›
