I recently spoke with an acquaintance who is a game developer, and he seriously convinced me that the main reason for the current crisis in the gaming industry is the lack of memorable images. In the past, good games had characters that stuck in the user's memory — even visually. But now all games are faceless, indistinguishable, [...]

The vulnerability is caused by an error in the http_verify function, which bypasses access to the content […]
We discuss who is waiting abroad and answer uncomfortable questions about the relocation of IT specialists to England and Germany. At Nitro, we often receive resumes. Each one is carefully translated and sent to the client. And we mentally wish good luck to the person who has decided to change something in their life. Changes are always for the better, aren't they? 😉 Would you like to know who is waiting [...]
Referring to discrete graphics solutions from the Xe family as the first for Intel is somewhat misleading, as the company has previously attempted to establish itself in the discrete graphics market. In the 1990s, it launched gaming graphics cards with varying success, and in the early 2000s, it tried to re-enter this market segment, ultimately transforming the 'Larrabee project' into Xeon computing accelerators […]
