    AHHH YOU GUYYYYSSSS THIS IS A REALLY EXCITING ONE!!!First off, the free content update, which Ive been VERY excited about: we added cooking to the game!!!! You can create dishes in your new kitchen, complete cooking-related quests, and discover the characters favorite dishes. Finally, you can have an actual functioning kitchen-zone! Isnt that cool? I think its cool.https://youtu.be/gAjIHK2QY1kThere are over 80 recipes to discover, some with incredible effects, and new ingredients made with crops, alongside a prep station, an oven, and a stove to put in your kitchen.Alongside the cooking update, we have paid DLC themed around cooking, too! Its called Chefs Kiss, and it adds a few baking and cooking accessories to your game: Donut Rug Cloche Pot Rack Marble Counter Marble Counter with Sink Bakery HouseThe Chefs Kiss DLC costs the same as all the other DLC weve released, and as always, its decor ONLY. You can cook in your game with or without the DLC!Happy Cooking!The post appeared first on Raw Fury.

  • Now ChromeOS can reset itself without erasing your laptop
    www.theverge.com
    This week, Google announced its rolling out ChromeOS M131 to non-beta users, bringing with it a handy Safety reset feature that lets Chromebook users reset their laptops without totally wiping them. The update also introduced a new Flash notifications accessibility option to help those who might not otherwise easily hear or see them.Like Powerwash in ChromeOS, Safety reset will wipe the slate clean if youre experiencing computer virus-like behavior such as unusual pop-ups. But where Powerwash is a full factory reset, Safety reset preserves local data and apps, as well as things like bookmarks and saved passwords, according to a help document about the feature.Google also writes that users can call up the Safety reset dialog box directly by pressing CTRL + Shift + Search + R. Otherwise, you can find it in the Safety and privacy settings menu or by searching Settings or Launcher for keywords like Pop-up, Spam, or Virus. The new flash notifications settings in ChromeOS accessibility settings. Image: GoogleAs for the new Flash notifications setting, its available in accessibility settings under Audio and captions, giving an additional visual notification indicator to those who might otherwise miss them because theyre hard of hearing or use screen magnification to read content. Users can pick the flashs color from several options, and a preview button lets them see what it looks like.

  • Windows warns Phone Link wont show sensitive Android 15 notifications
    www.theverge.com
    Microsofts Phone Link app is warning that Android smartphones using the latest version of Android 15 wont display certain sensitive notifications, according to a post from Mishaal Rahman spotted by Windows Central. The warning is the result of an Android 15 privacy feature that automatically categorizes notifications like those containing 2FA codes as sensitive and prevents third-party apps from seeing them. That extra bit of privacy could come in handy if youve unwittingly given a malicious app permission to access your notifications. But it could be inconvenient if you frequently rely on seeing 2FA codes appear on your computer via Phone Link.Mishaal Rahman posted a screenshot of the warning. Screenshot: Windows Phone Link warningAccording to Rahman, Windows should still show sensitive notifications for Android devices where Phone Link came preinstalled and has requested a Companion Device Role. That includes Samsung phones running One UI 6.1.1, but not other Android phones like Google Pixel or Nothing Phones, writes Windows Central.Rahman wrote in October that users could get around the notification-hiding feature by turning off Enhanced Notifications in Android 15s notifications settings. However, doing so also turns off things like reply suggestions and could make it easier again for malicious apps to gather details from all of your notifications.

  • CloudFerro and ESA -lab Launch the First Global Embeddings Dataset for Earth Observations
    www.marktechpost.com
    CloudFerro and European Space Agency (ESA) -lab have introduced the first global embeddings dataset for Earth observations, a significant development in geospatial data analysis. This dataset, part of the Major TOM project, aims to provide standardized, open, and accessible AI-ready datasets for Earth observation. This collaboration addresses the challenge of managing and analyzing the massive archives of Copernicus satellite data while promoting scalable AI applications.The Role of Embedding Datasets in Earth ObservationThe ever-increasing volume of Earth observation data presents challenges in processing and analyzing large-scale geospatial imagery efficiently. Embedding datasets tackle this issue by transforming high-dimensional image data into compact vector representations. These embeddings encapsulate key semantic features, facilitating faster searches, comparisons, and analyses.The Major TOM project focuses on the geospatial domain, ensuring that its embedding datasets are compatible and reproducible for various Earth observation tasks. By leveraging advanced deep learning models, these embeddings streamline the processing and analysis of satellite imagery on a global scale.Features of the Global Embeddings DatasetThe embedding datasets, derived from Major TOM Core datasets, include over 60 TB of AI-ready Copernicus data. Key features include:Comprehensive Coverage: With over 169 million data points and more than 3.5 million unique images, the dataset provides thorough representation of Earths surface.Diverse Models: Generated using four distinct modelsSSL4EO-S2, SSL4EO-S1, SigLIP, and DINOv2the embeddings offer varied feature representations tailored to different use cases.Efficient Data Format: Stored in GeoParquet format, the embeddings integrate seamlessly with geospatial data workflows, enabling efficient querying and compatibility with processing pipelines.Embedding MethodologyThe creation of the embeddings involves several steps:Image Fragmentation: Satellite images are divided into smaller patches suitable for model input sizes, preserving geospatial details.Preprocessing: Fragments are normalized and scaled according to the requirements of the embedding models.Embedding Generation: Preprocessed fragments are processed through pretrained deep learning models to create embeddings.Data Integration: The embeddings and metadata are compiled into GeoParquet archives, ensuring streamlined access and usability.This structured approach ensures high-quality embeddings while reducing computational demands for downstream tasks.Applications and Use CasesThe embedding datasets have diverse applications, including:Land Use Monitoring: Researchers can track land use changes efficiently by linking embedding spaces to labeled datasets.Environmental Analysis: The dataset supports analyses of phenomena like deforestation and urban expansion with reduced computational costs.Data Search and Retrieval: The embeddings enable fast similarity searches, simplifying access to relevant geospatial data.Time-Series Analysis: Consistent embedding footprints facilitate long-term monitoring of changes across different regions.Computational EfficiencyThe embedding datasets are designed for scalability and efficiency. The computations were performed on CloudFerros CREODIAS cloud platform, utilizing high-performance hardware such as NVIDIA L40S GPUs. This setup enabled the processing of trillions of pixels from Copernicus data while maintaining reproducibility.Standardization and Open AccessA hallmark of the Major TOM embedding datasets is their standardized format, which ensures compatibility across models and datasets. Open access to these datasets fosters transparency and collaboration, encouraging innovation within the global geospatial community.Advancing AI in Earth ObservationThe global embeddings dataset represents a significant step forward in integrating AI with Earth observation. Enabling efficient processing and analysis equips researchers, policymakers, and organizations to better understand and manage the Earths dynamic systems. This initiative lays the groundwork for new applications and insights in geospatial analysis.ConclusionThe partnership between CloudFerro and ESA -lab exemplifies progress in the geospatial data industry. By addressing the challenges of Earth observation and unlocking new possibilities for AI applications, the global embeddings dataset enhances our capacity to analyze and manage satellite data. As the Major TOM project evolves, it is poised to drive further advancements in science and technology.Check out the Paper and Dataset.
