If you were ever curious if it's even remotely possible to heat up the canned food with tea light candles — it absolutely is.

So, you have to have a frame like from the old stove (and there are custom ones) to place the can over the candles.

You really need 3-4 candles at the same time to create strong heat flow that will heat it up one can in about 20 minutes.

The can has to be slightly open to prevent pressure from building up. But not fully open, since it will increase the loss of heat.

It's better to place a ceramic flower pot on top (or a cooking pot) to lower the heat loss even further, but leave enough room in the bottom for the air to feed candles. Flower pots have holes on top which improves the airflow. And they are cheap, but of course don't use plastic ones.

Sadly, this is not isolated to this one company but rather a trend in the industry. It was rare before but getting very noticeable since autumn of 2025.

Companies around are running out of funds, a lot of them were on credit lines that dry out if the returns are no longer predictable.

Gunzilla lost half of its workforce in one year according to LinkedIn data. They are the company behind NFT battle royale game Off The Grid, so not a reliable place to start with.

Firefox devs are so odd they deliberately use "microsoft-edge" flag if you want to tell them why you uninstalled Firefox. Not the browser you have, not the general URL to allow the system to handle it but Edge (which I obviously removed)

Pathetic

And Windows is like "the app requested microsoft-edge, you probably gonna need to install something to handle this request".

Curious but Pete don't blame Todd in this case (he sees him as a great manager who even managed to get him through the last year of Starfield development).

He clearly blames Microsoft and corpos on top in what he believes is mistreating and abusive.

Sadly, but Andrew Price (Blender Guru) turned from good to pure AI evil in the last couple of years. Fuck him in particular.

Now he helps to spread fear over assets production costs despite he made millions on assets produced by other people.

Also like the dumbest shit ever, the airflow doesn't work like that. Focus on parallel flow and pairs of intake and outtake.

Facebook is literally selling ads for substances sellers. This account is active for over a year, 60% of their ads were removed (thanks to users reports) but they are not permanently banned.

Holy heck...

Apparently, CPU-Z has been hacked for at least a day and the script was randomly sending users to get a legit app + a hacked DLL.

The same already happened to Notepad++ (but on a way longer scale, they hijacked the update server). A lot of other companies were affected over the years (MSI Afterburner, FileZilla, even fake Blender installers were common a few years ago). But usually they at least make a fake website.

Pragmata reviews just arrived and it seems like they managed to make a short and solid game with about 10-15 hours of constant battles and puzzles.

Not too deep and prophetic, just a heartwarming science fiction about fighting your way out of a hostile environment. And they achieved a fairly good performance even with Ray Tracing.
