That's an old name I haven't heard in quite a while.

Reminds me of Suleyman Demirel's saying "Today is today, and yesterday was yesterday" after his lie he said the previous day was exposed.

Wait, a scanner software with built-in OCR? That sounds awesome.

Used to play Apex Legends a lot, so could give some reasons why.

A core part of Apex's monetization is "keep the core gameplay F2P accessible and make super expensive skins for those who can pay". The game would put items worth around 300$ multiple times in a single season. After that as long as the gameplay's solid; F2P players wouldn't find a reason to not play; and whales could flex their 300$ death box to all these players interacting with them. Hell, give F2P players tasks that take too long to unlock new skins; and maybe they'll toss a few bucks in too. You've got yourself a neat money loop, and players are happy.

As for cheating; most people i see cheating does it as a way of doing the unexpected in a video game. Cheating is not enjoyable to most if you do it all the time; but the cheat providers offer cheats with shorter time spans to hook the people that want to do just that. I recall an interview done with a cheat developer for a different yet similarly popular game, and they've said most of their sales come through these.

That would've hit hard if they didn't got my EA Account stolen via fraudulent support tickets a few months ago.

yo new korea just dropped. Now all we need is East Korea to collect them all.

 

Couldn't find international news coverage of this, so I'll do my best to translate it:

CHP spokesman Deniz Yucel has made a statement about his SIM card getting duplicated and WhatsApp account being hijacked by malicious actors:

"While the methods used by malicious actors are not fully clear, my phone number was taken over in 19 August 2024 around 14:40, via malicious actors pretending to be me to request a new SIM card for my 25 year old number. The SIM card on my phone has been automatically deactivated; the malicious actors first changed my Whatsapp profile picture to President Erdogan, then sending the people I've added or to the visible groups pictures of Alpay Ozalan captions similar to 'would you like Alpay Ozalan to hit you too?'(*), Soon after discovery, we've sent a warning message on social media channels about this incident and contacted to people I've added through WhatsApp, and soon after got the account terminated. We've been in official talks to fully resolve this situation.

Note that this issue isn't caused by any security vulnerability caused by me or the party. This attack was done because of my position within the party. If malicious actors can do this to someone within my position, we can assume no one's communications and personal data is truly safe; but I am leaving what to think of this up to the public. I will be suing my operator turkcell for all damages, and will report this incident to the prosecution's office to pursue anyone involved in this attack.

Don't doubt that we will follow this all the way through and ensure similar incidents won't happen against any of 85 million Turkish citizens."

(*) The message is a reference to the previous parliament crisis in Turkey

The position as PEN text is: 6k1/pp2Qpp1/2br3p/2p5/8/1P3q2/PBP2PPP/R4RK1 w Q - 0 1

A position where both kings are under heavy pressure. I paused here, not seeing a way out for the White player at all. After finishing the episode I threw the same position to a chess engine; and there was indeed an exit out of the checkmate.

Reccomended Move: Qg5

I like the detail that this was a really tough move to see, on a pretty open board with not much moves that seem visible. I've been playing chess for years as a hobby and I wouldn't see it in that heat. This move essentially forces a queen trade to be the best move for Black, as any other move could result in White doing massive attacks; and after that with two versus one rook advantage could change the game's tides.

I kinda wish they didn't animate away the actual moves; I'd love to see the all the moves that lead to the scene, but still a very cool detail.

VSH was announced as a main gamemode, so why no official servers are running it, and it's invisible in matchmaking? Am I missing something?
