I truly hate that the majority of UV-grid textures (to prepare models for seamless texturing) are 8x8, while I need 10x10.

Made this one with soft gradient, feel free to use (will be later provided as HQ file with free license). I'll add numbers and stuff later on.

Soft gradient is times better for long work on the model and will make it easier for your eyes.

The texture has soft gradient which makes working with it easier for your eyes even for hours in a row. I've tried to balance out the amount of color on the final image to preserve visibility of geometry details and issues that can be missed on pure gray or too vivid UV textures.

Since I'm using it for real-world structures, it has extended 10×10 marked cells (instead of 8×8), and also .5 and .1 lines to allow size-perfect texturing. The 8×8 version is also available in the repository.

The Blender 4.2 file is also attached, so you can modify it for your needs or render in any resolution (if 4K is not enough).

Never gets boring 😅

Jyamma Games said that their action #RPG Enotria will not be available on XBox in time. Fans decided that it's hard to optimize the game for series s, but nope: their account manager just left their replies unanswered for months.

It's not the first report of that type and Phil Spencer should do something about it... Several studios discussed similar stories — Sony gave them all the support they can imagine and Microsoft just barely replies at all.

Have you ever thought that your phone is giving you ads based on what you just said? Well, apparently, it's not a conspiracy theory:

Cox Media Group (CMG) was advertising a service that claimed to target ads based on what potential customers said near device microphones. Now, here is the pitch deck CMG sent to prospective companies. Google has kicked CMG off its Partner Program in response.

But honestly, a lot of people suggested years ago that all Facebook and Instagram apps do that as well.

Eventually I replaced four crappy old fans surrounding my PC case with three Arctic P12 PWM (1800 RPM) to blow air in and one P12 MAX (3300 RPM) for the back side to blow out the air.

The last one is intentionally set to only reach 100% of speed at 100C, which never happens, so it usually works at 70-80% at worst moments and still do the job perfectly.

Now it's both quieter than before and much cooler. Even Deadlock and summer heat can't overheat it anymore.

25 Eur for all, can recommend!

The default Vehicle 3D in #GodotEngine is surprisingly good, IMO. It has very impressive suspension system and overall feels decent for the majority of games:

Remember that AI that Microsoft was trying to sneak onto your computer that will screenshot and analyze everything? Well, it's not optional, bchz! 😅

Early this morning, Microsoft confirmed in a statement to The Verge that last week’s Windows 11 24H2 update, KB5041865, had not added the ability to uninstall Recall in the “Turn Windows features on or off” dialog and that its addition to that menu was a bug that will soon be fixed. It should be noted that this bugged option to uninstall Recall was also added before Recall itself, so it had no actual functionality besides (seemingly) being a way to opt out ahead of time. Once shipped, Recall will also be something Windows users can disable but not entirely remove.

Because you don't own your computer, it owns you 😉
