I played the new version, out January 22, for around four hours, racing back through the early section of the game in time to meet back up with Aerith and stroll through some of the more taxing areas in the early game. I was struck by two things during my brief return to the slums of Midgar. The first was just how linear, focused, and cinematic the Final Fantasy VII Remake is compared to its sprawling successor, Rebirth.

Key Issues: General UI Lag: Clicking between slides or menus is delayed and often "hangs." Audio/Text Desync: When adjusting text boxes to narration, the audio continues to play but the UI/subtitles freeze for several seconds. Overall Stability: The app feels unresponsive and struggles to handle the project size. What can I do to resolve this issue?Because currently the app is unusable for professional production.

Grief-porn, in relation to cinema, would suggest that the film in question is emotionally manipulative, formulaic; grief-art would suggest the film unleashes feelings both universal and true. It's curiously circular. In a film about grief, the valorised quality is depth of feeling; it stands or falls by how profoundly the hero(ine) experiences emotion, and the audience proves its acuity, buys itself into the imaginative contract, by its ability to mirror that profundity.

I am experiencing performance issues with Captivate 12.6.

Microsoft keeps touting its Copilot AI as the greatest invention since the wheel. Toward that end, the company has been force-feeding more and more AI into Windows in the belief that everyone is yearning for an "agentic OS." Well, based on much of the user feedback, that's not quite the case. In fact, the more Microsoft keeps promoting AI as some white knight riding in to rescue Windows users, the more that people have been pushing back. The main argument?

Sometimes you need a computer that doesn't have a thousand bells and whistles driving up the price. Still capable of being a daily driver, but not beholden to a massive price hike. We've found a great one that you can rely on without having to spend an arm and a leg. And it's on sale now. Go to Amazon to purchase the HP 15.6 inch Laptop Computer for $399, which is $1600 lower than the retail price of $1999.

Blazing-fast installs uv is routinely 10-100× faster than pip (and often faster than Poetry or pipenv too). Dependency resolution and wheel installation that used to take seconds or minutes now finish in the blink of an eye. One tool to rule them all uv replaces pip + venv + pip-tools + pipx + virtualenv + pyenv in a single binary. You get dependency resolution, lockfiles, virtual-environment management, isolated global tool installation, Python version management, and even script running - all through the same uv command.

Gerwyn Davies treats the photographic portrait as a stage for disappearance in his ongoing body of work. The Sydney-based artist engineers elaborately costumed selves that gleam under studio lighting, swell into sculptural proportions, and refuse to reveal a face. What appears at first to be hypervisibility, sequins, vinyl, and candy-colored textiles, becomes a visual barricade. The body inside the costume is present, centered, and performing.

Some of them, I should have been to the free throw line. Some I missed. Some of them I made. I can't change it. I just got to live with it.

I hang a right onto the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in the hills north of Santa Barbara, and the 2026 Lucid Gravity seems to defy physics. My hands grip the steering wheel as the vehicle carves country roads with a slalom skier's dexterity and the gusto of a much smaller car. Not bad for the seven-seat, all-electric SUV, which handily wins Esquire's Car of the Year.

The main goal of the site is to help players: Calculate forging probabilities based on different ore combinations Optimize their inventory for tank/damage builds Preview weapon and armor stats before committing resources From a web dev perspective, this project has a few interesting challenges: Real-time probability calculations with many different ores and multipliers Keeping the UI clear and readable even when there's a lot of data on screen Performance on lower-end devices (mobile, older laptops)

For the purposes of this look at the game I replayed through the first two major sections: the tutorial mission with the assault on the Galactic Federation, and then the Fury Green portion on Viewros where Samus first starts to unlock her psychic abilities. Predictably, the Switch 1 version looks noticeably lower-quality than its Switch 2 counterpart, with less-detailed textures and lighting effects. It still looks decent, though, and compares favorably to the Metroid Prime Remaster that was released on Switch in 2023.

Fuse is an Italian digital art studio and production company led by founders Mattia Carretti and Luca Camellini, and a group of engineers, designers, architects and artists who stage artworks, shows and exhibits, including tonight's Dӧkk.

Every few years our team ends up reevaluating our test management setup and it always leads to the same debate. Most tools look similar on paper, but the real difference shows up six months later when the suite grows and the process gets messy. Some teams love the structure in tools like TestRail or Qase, others prefer something lighter that does not slow them down.

When you are building a social feed, data grid, or chat UI, everything feels fine with 10 mock items. Then you connect a real API, render 50,000 rows with myList.map(...), and the browser locks up. The core problem is simple: you are asking the DOM to do too much work. Virtualization solves this by rendering only what the user can actually see. Instead of mounting 50,000 nodes, you render the 15-20 items that are visible in the viewport, plus a small buffer.

It's impossible not to be thankful for Kpop Demon Hunters; they're slaying the demons for us through song! For their Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade debut, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, the singing voices of Huntrix, performed their no. 1 hit "Golden" while wearing cozy snowsuits with nods to their characters; Ejae had a bright purple headband for Rumi, Nuna had two framing pieces for her hair, and Ami had earmuffs performing as her hairbuns.

Bosch green, DeWalt yellow, Milwaukee red, all shaped like someone welded a tube to a motor and called it done. Then Hoto shows up with a 20V leaf blower that looks like it fell out of a District 9 prop truck, all sleek curves and matte surfaces, the kind of thing you'd expect to see mounted on a space marine's hip rather than hanging in a suburban garage.

Apple just announced its M5 chip a few weeks ago but this MacBook Pro with M4 Pro remains an incredibly powerful machine that handles almost all professional workflows with ease. This record low pricing at $1,749 on Amazon for the 24GB/512GB model, down from $1,999, makes it more compelling than most MacBooks currently available. The model sits as the #1 best-seller among MacBook Pros on Amazon and the reason becomes clear when you consider the specs at this price point.

Wicked: For Good is Ariana Grande's movie. And the film knows it, bending toward her every chance it gets. If the first Wicked centered Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), the shy outcast whose discovery of her magical powers and the sinister machinery behind the land of Oz led to her being branded the Wicked Witch of the West, Wicked: For Good focuses intently on her opposite number and best friend, Glinda (Grande), now positioned by the powers that be as the good (but secretly powerless) witch who

Ah yes, 1966,

Rolldown, a new JavaScript/TypeScript bundler written in Rust, has emerged from VoidZero, the maintainers of projects such as Vite. Rolldown offers a high performance alternative to conventional bundlers with full compatibility for the Rollup plugin ecosystem. Designed as the next logical step for modern build workflows, Rolldown promises significant build time improvements while retaining familiar plugin interfaces. Rolldown was designed primarily to be the underlying bundler within Vite to replace the existing Vite dependencies of esbuild and Rollup.
