• Color perception is a bit of a mess, right? Everyone sees things differently. Remember that dress? Yeah, it's like that. So, spectrophotometers come in handy to measure colors accurately. They help untangle these colorful disputes. Not that it’s super exciting or anything. Just machines doing their job, I guess.

    Anyway, if you’re into colors and all that, it’s worth a glance. But, yeah, whatever.

    A Spectrophotometer Jailbreak to Resolve Colorful Disputes

    The human eye’s color perception is notoriously variable (see, for example, the famous dress), which makes it difficult to standardize colours. This is where spectrophotometers come in: they measure colours …read more

  • Les notes de mise à jour #13 sont là, et c’est un peu ennuyeux. Trump a décidé de couper les fonds pour les jeux vidéo, ce qui fait parler. Pendant ce temps, Krafton se dispute publiquement avec les développeurs de Subnautica, ce qui ne passionne pas vraiment grand monde. Et puis, il y a un cadre d’EA qui critique Microsoft pour ses licenciements. Ubisoft et Testronic annoncent aussi des réductions d'effectifs. Les membres de SAG-AFTRA ont ratifié un contrat pour les médias interactifs, mais bon, qui s'en préoccupe vraiment ?

  • Ah, the glorious return of the zine! Because nothing says "I’m hip and in touch with the underground" quite like a DIY pamphlet that screams “I have too much time on my hands.” WIRED has graciously gifted us with a step-by-step guide on how to create your very own zine titled “How to Win a Fight.”

    Print. Fold. Share. Download. Sounds easy, right? The process is so straightforward that even your grandma could do it—assuming she’s not too busy mastering TikTok dances. But let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer audacity of needing instructions for something as inherently chaotic as making a zine. It’s like needing a manual to ride a bike… but the bike is on fire, and you’re trying to escape a rabid raccoon.

    In the age of high-tech everything, where our phones can tell us the weather on Mars and remind us to breathe, we’re now apparently in desperate need of a physical booklet that offers sage advice on how to “win a fight.” Because nothing screams “I’m a mature adult” quite like settling disputes via pamphlet. Maybe instead of standing up for ourselves, we should just hand our opponents a printed foldable and let them peruse our literary genius.

    And let’s not forget the nostalgia factor here! The last time a majority of us saw a zine was in 1999—back when flip phones were the pinnacle of technology and the biggest fight we faced was over who got control of the TV remote. Now, we’re being whisked back to those simpler times, armed only with a printer and a fierce desire to assert our dominance through paper cuts.

    But hey, if you’ve never made a zine, or you’ve simply forgotten how to do it since the dawn of the millennium, WIRED’s got your back! They’ve turned this into a social movement, where amateur philosophers can print, fold, and share their thoughts on how to engage in fights. Because why have a conversation when you can battle with paper instead?

    Let’s be honest: this is all about making “fighting” a trendy topic again. Who needs actual conflict resolution when you can just hand out zines like business cards? Imagine walking into a bar, someone bumps into you, and instead of a punch, you just slide them a zine. “Here’s how to win a fight, buddy. Chapter One: Don’t.”

    So, if you feel like embracing your inner 90s kid and channeling your angst into a creative outlet, jump on this zine-making bandwagon. Who knows? You might just win a fight—against boredom, at least.

  • In a world where 3D printing has become the new frontier of human achievement, it appears that our beloved gadgets are not just printing our wildest dreams, but also a symphony of snaps and crackles that would make even the most seasoned sound engineer weep. Enter the Prunt Printer Firmware—a name that sounds like it was born out of an intense brainstorming session involving too much caffeine and too little sleep.

    Let’s face it, for ages now, Marlin has been the undisputed champion of firmware for custom 3D printers, akin to that one friend who always gets picked first in gym class. But wait! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Klipper slides into the ring, offering some serious competition. Think of Klipper as the underdog in a sports movie—full of potential but still figuring out whether it should be hitting its rivals hard or just trying not to trip over its own laces.

    Now, onto the real magic: controlling the charmingly chaotic duo of Snap and Crackle. It’s almost poetic, isn’t it? You finally invest in a 3D printer, dreaming of creating intricate models, only to have it serenade you with a cacophony reminiscent of a breakfast cereal commercial gone horribly wrong. But fear not! The Prunt Printer Firmware is here to save the day—because who doesn't want their printer to sound like a caffeinated squirrel rather than a well-oiled machine?

    Embracing the Prunt Firmware is like adopting a pet rock. Sure, it’s different, and maybe it doesn’t do much, but it’s unique and, let’s be honest, everyone loves a conversation starter. With Prunt, you can finally rest assured that your 3D printer will not only produce high-quality prints but will also keep Snap and Crackle under control! It’s like having a built-in sound engineer who’s only slightly less competent than your average barista.

    And let’s not overlook the sheer genius of this firmware’s name. “Prunt”? It’s catchy, it’s quirky, and it’s definitely a conversation starter at parties—if you’re still invited to parties after dropping that knowledge bomb. “Oh, you’re using Marlin? How quaint. I’ve upgraded to Prunt. It’s the future!” Cue the blank stares and awkward silence.

    In conclusion, if you’ve ever dreamt of a world where your 3D printer operates smoothly and quietly, devoid of the musical stylings of Snap and Crackle, perhaps it’s time to throw caution to the wind and give Prunt a whirl. After all, in the grand saga of 3D printing, why not add a dash of whimsy to your technical woes?

    Let’s embrace the chaos and let Snap and Crackle have their moment—just as long as they’re under control with Prunt Printer Firmware. Because in the end, isn’t that what we all really want?

  • Il est inacceptable que, pendant plus de trente ans, la série Mario Kart ait continué à nous trahir avec ses erreurs flagrantes et son inégalité déconcertante. Les jeux de Mario Kart, loin d'être un pur plaisir, se sont transformés en un véritable champ de bataille où l'on se demande constamment quel est le sens de la "justice" dans le gameplay. Avec le lancement de Mario Kart World pour la Switch 2, il est temps de mettre les choses au clair et de dénoncer ces aberrations !

    Commençons par les classements. Pourquoi diable devrions-nous faire un classement des jeux Mario Kart ? Est-ce pour masquer les défauts évidents de certains d'entre eux ? Mario Kart 64, par exemple, est souvent cité comme un classique, mais il est tout simplement inacceptable de voir cette version trônant en haut de la liste. Les collisions imprévisibles, les graphismes dépassés et le gameplay déséquilibré en font une expérience frustrante. Il est grand temps que les fans ouvrent les yeux et reconnaissent que ce jeu n'est pas le chef-d'œuvre que certains prétendent !

    Et que dire de Mario Kart Wii ? Les courses sur ce jeu sont souvent perturbées par un système de "drift" mal conçu et des objets qui semblent avoir été programmés pour nuire à votre progression plutôt que pour équilibrer le jeu. Combien de fois avons-nous perdu à cause d'une carapace bleue lancée à un moment critique ? C'est insupportable ! Si nous voulons parler de l'égalité dans les courses, il est évident que Nintendo a échoué dans ce domaine. Les "power-ups" déséquilibrés et les circuits mal conçus créent une expérience de jeu qui nuit au plaisir sur lequel cette série est censée être bâtie.

    Et ne me lancez même pas sur Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, qui est censé être la version ultime. Oui, les graphismes sont magnifiques, mais cela ne compense pas les problèmes de balance et le fait que le jeu favorise les joueurs les plus expérimentés au détriment des nouveaux venus. Que devient le plaisir de jouer ? Si les développeurs ne peuvent pas garantir une expérience équitable, alors ils devraient revoir leur approche et écouter les retours des joueurs au lieu de nous balancer des mises à jour superficielles !

    Il est grand temps que la communauté des joueurs se lève et exige un changement. Les classements des jeux Mario Kart ne devraient pas être un simple exercice, mais un appel à la réflexion sur ce que nous voulons vraiment dans un jeu de course. Arrêtons de célébrer des jeux qui, au lieu de rapprocher les gens, causent des disputes et des frustrations. Nous méritons mieux que cela !
