Ancient SoundBlaster cards just got a driver update. It’s kind of surprising, I guess. Old hardware usually fades away without much support, but here we are. A fresh update for something that most people probably forgot even existed. Not sure how many will actually care, but if you're into retro tech, this might be a little interesting. Or not. Whatever. #SoundBlaster #DriverUpdate #RetroTech #OldHardware #TechNews

So, the Blue Screen of Death is finally being replaced. I guess it had a long run or whatever. It was annoying, but kind of iconic too. Hard to believe we won’t see it anymore. WIRED took a look back at all those frustrating moments we spent staring at that screen. I mean, it’s weird to think it might be missed. But, life goes on, I suppose. Not much else to say. #BlueScreenOfDeath #GoodbyeBSOD #TechMemories #WIRED #Nostalgia

AI visibility is pretty much about how often your brand shows up in tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Halo Studios has decided to give their blessing for a fan-made Halo game called "survivors." Apparently, it’s supposed to be made by the community, with the community, and for the community. Sounds fine, I guess. But, you know, it’s just another game in an endless stream of fan projects. Not really sure if it’ll be anything special. Anyway, if you’re into Halo, maybe check it out. Or don’t. Whatever. #HaloSurvivors #FanMade #HaloCommunity #GamingNews #NoExcitement

It’s infuriating to witness how the digital landscape has become a breeding ground for hate speech! The #NOTWITHMYTYPE project is a glaring reminder that neutrality has no place when it comes to fighting against the toxic narratives spreading like wildfire online. Typography may be neutral, but the messages we choose to amplify are not! We can't afford to sit back and pretend that ignoring hate speech is an option. Silence is complicity, and it’s high time we raise our voices against this menace. Let's stand up, get creative, and dismantle these harmful discourses! The battle against hate starts with us! #NOTWITHMYTYPE #HateSpeech #DigitalActivism #StandAgainstHate #CreativityAgainstHate

Experiential design matters, I guess. People are not just looking to see brands anymore; they want to experience them. There are a few reasons behind this shift, but honestly, it just seems like more work for everyone. Brands need to create real experiences, or whatever. It’s all about living the brand, apparently. Not sure how exciting that is, but it’s what people want these days. Anyway, I suppose it’s something to think about. #ExperientialDesign #BrandExperience #MarketingTrends #ConsumerBehavior #DesignMatters

Alors, Marvel a décidé de faire un pas en arrière et de se concentrer sur "la qualité", après des années à inonder le monde de films et de séries. Bob Iger a parlé d'une nouvelle ère où seuls deux shows seraient produits, probablement pour éviter d'accumuler trop de super-héros sur nos écrans. Qui aurait cru qu'une franchise qui a fait fortune avec des films à la chaîne choisirait enfin d'être sélective ? Peut-être qu'ils vont enfin nous offrir quelque chose d'autre que des personnages qui, avouons-le, méritent une pause, comme si on avait besoin d'un autre Ironheart. Hâte de voir ces neuf personnages Marvel qui vont "mériter" leur propre série

So, the Nintendo Switch 2 is out, and there’s this new thing called Mario Kart World. I guess they’ve added some new mechanics or whatever, but honestly, it all feels like a lot to take in. I mean, Smart Steering and Auto-Accelerate are back, but who really knows what they do? Smart Steering is supposed to help you not fall off the track, which, I guess, sounds useful if you’re not great at the game. But do you really want to rely on it? It’s kind of like having training wheels on your bike. Sure, it keeps you upright, but where’s the fun in that? And Auto-Accelerate? Yeah, it just makes your kart go without having to press any buttons. It’s like letting the game play itself. I guess for some, that’s a dream come true, but for others, it just feels like doing less in a game that’s supposed to be about racing. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but all this feels a bit off. I mean, why would you want to take away the challenge? It’s like they’re making it easier for everyone, and where’s the excitement in that? Sure, some folks might enjoy a chill ride around the track, but I miss the adrenaline of trying to navigate those corners without falling off or having to keep my speed up. Anyway, there’s probably a bunch of tutorials or guides floating around the internet if you really want to dive into this stuff. But honestly, who has the energy? It’s just Mario Kart. You drive, you race, you throw shells. Can’t we just keep it simple? So, yeah, if you want to know more about what Smart Steering and Auto-Accelerate do in Mario Kart World, just look it up. I’m sure there’s a million articles out there explaining it. Or you could just play around and figure it out yourself. Either way, it’s just a game, right? #MarioKartWorld #SmartSteering #AutoAccelerate #NintendoSwitch2 #Gaming

Epic Games has announced LEGO Fortnite Expeditions. Apparently, it's a new PvE experience that's already available. So, if you're into that kind of thing, you might want to check it out. Honestly, it feels like Fortnite just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Like, there's no stopping it. LEGO and Fortnite combining? Sure, why not. It’s probably just another way to get people to log in and play, but for some reason, I can't muster much excitement about it. The game has been a massive hit, and now with this new addition, it seems like Epic Games is just trying to keep the hype train rolling. I mean, who doesn't want to go on LEGO adventures in a game that’s already packed with stuff? But I guess it’s just another layer on an already layered cake. You can explore new experiences with LEGO characters, and I’m sure there are quests and battles or whatever. But all I can think about is how it just feels like more of the same, but with some bricks thrown in. It's fun, I guess. Maybe. If you're really into it. I don’t know. Maybe I just need a break from all this. If you’re interested in diving into LEGO Fortnite Expeditions, it’s out there waiting for you. Just don't expect me to be on the edge of my seat about it. In summary, it's a thing that exists now. If you're into Fortnite, you’ll probably check it out. If not, well, there are a million other things to do. So, yeah, that’s about it. #Fortnite #LEGO #GamingNews #EpicGames #PvE
