- Comment on China's new nation-spanning network eclipses 100 Gbps transferring 72 terabytes across 1,000km — experimental research network designed to connect thousands of virtualized networks across the country 1 day ago:
In that trial, researchers moved 72 terabytes of data to Hubei province in about 1.6 hours across a route of roughly 1,000 kilometers. Based on the published figures, that roughly works out to a throughput close to 100 Gbps
That’s exactly 100Gbps, not “roughly … close to.” The fact that the figures work out exactly like this is probably because one of those original figures was already calculated from an estimate of the link speed but the author of this article didn’t realise it.
It’s hardly news-worthy though, since the current data transfer speed record is held by Japan who achieved 1.02 Pbps over 1800km in April this year. That’s 10,000 times faster.
- Comment on Larian announce plans to let folks ask anything about their generative AI use, asserting "a lot has become lost in translation" 3 days ago:
“a lot has become lost in translation”
This is just a different way of saying “our recent statement caused confusion.” Do you think we are confused, Larian?
It’s not about how you use gen-AI, it’s about the fact that you even think it’s appropriate to use it at all in a creative industry.
- Comment on Larian want to release Divinity in "three to four years", and they're making limited use of generative AI 6 days ago:
“Concept Artist” is a job description and replacing them with gen-AI is not okay.
- Comment on The Tor Project is Making a Switch to Rust, Ditches C 1 week ago:
Misleading headline. The Rust implementation is still in development and not fully featured, nor is it recommended for mission critical use. And that says nothing about the Tor Browser itself which will probably be C++ based for a long time yet.
“Ditches C” is clickbait editorializing.
- Comment on The Game Awards reportedly charges over $1 million for a three-minute trailer, while just a minute can run up nearly half of that 1 week ago:
Which of the games they’ve shown trailers for in the past have been fronts for criminal enterprises then?
- Comment on Big Tech joins the race to build the world’s heaviest airplane 1 week ago:
Great article, and in case anyone doesn’t read it to the end, the last paragraph is the most important IMO:
For tech workers who currently don’t have a pee bottle or a suicide net at their job-site, it’s long past time to get over this founder-in-waiting bullshit and get organized. Recognize that you’re a worker, and that workers’ only real source of power isn’t ephemeral scarcity, it’s durable solidarity:
- Comment on The Crew Unlimited devs have prevented the Ubisoft racer's "3rd imminent death", this time via a "Y29K" bug 4 weeks ago:
According to the modders behind its revival project, The Crew Unlimited, a bug would have seen the game stop working once 2029 rolled around.
…
The good news is that the team say they’ve found “a less than ideal, but working fix” for this potentially lethal bug, which they’ve dubbed “Y29K”What do they think “K” stands for?
- Comment on The Game Awards 2025 nominees revealed 4 weeks ago:
When I visit the official site (thegameawards.com) it seems to peg my CPU at 100% and make my browser stop responding.
wtf is it doing? crypto-mining?
I tried on my other PC and it actually hung the whole system. I had to power-off manually.
- Comment on Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage silently added Easy Anti-Cheat 5 weeks ago:
Shit. I was looking forward to playing this.
It doesn’t bode well for VF6.
- Comment on The Game Awards Future Class inductees aren't sure if their advocacy's being "punished" as programme is "left by the wayside" 5 weeks ago:
members’ efforts to convince Keighley and co to read out a statement during 2023’s Game Awards expressing support for Palestine and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza resulted in their open letter being ignored
“Future class inductees” are learning a valuable lesson about the industry and who they pander to.
My advice to them: stop participating in the dog and pony show and create your own industry segment that represents your own values.

You’re comparing apples and oranges I mean video games.
- Comment on SD card died, now game that was installed on it can't be reinstalled 2 months ago:
What if you symlink the SD card steamapps directory (since its unmounted the mount pount will just be a regular directory on the root filesystem) to your internal storage steamapps directory?
- Comment on Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 2 months ago:
A truly unique feature of the retro FPS genre.
- Comment on Mala Petaka is another action-packed GZDoom boomer shooter now on Steam 2 months ago:
Probably because GenX and Millenials (the actual people who created and played these games respectively) don’t like being associated with the generation that’s destroying our society and planet whilst being completely out of touch with reality. It was boomers who tried to ban these games, remember?
