NX is going to be a mobile VR device with detachable motion controls that are also going to be used for hand tracking.

Or it's a mobile hologram projector.

[...]For about five years, Valve has encouraged players of games like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: GO, commonly referred to as CS:GO, to acquire virtual items like decorative weapons through game-play or by buying them through Valve’s Steam platform. Users can also trade the items (known as skins), sell them for cash or use them to place bets on other websites, most of which rely on Valve’s software. The biggest site, CSGO Lounge, handled about $1 billion in bets in the first seven months of the year, according to a report for Narus Advisors by Legal Sports Report analyst Will Green.

Valve has benefited from this kind of gambling, albeit indirectly. The ability to bet drives demand for the skins, which people can buy through Valve. It also keeps people interested in the games, by many accounts bringing the Counter-Strike series back from obscurity.

But skins gambling has become increasingly inconvenient for Valve in recent months. This spring, the owners of two betting sites were accused of wagering on their own marketplaces without disclosing their ownership stakes, and the operator of another site admitted it had rigged the outcomes of some of its games to benefit a paid sponsor. A lawsuit also named Valve, alleging that it was violating gambling laws and engaging in racketeering. A federal court dismissed the case this week, but a lawyer for the plaintiffs said they’ll pursue it in state court. [...]

I am writing this letter to inform you that I shall not comply with your requirement to remove a documentary photography from the Vietnam war made by Nick Ut.

Not today, and not in the future.

The demand that we remove the picture came in an e-mail from Facebook’s office in Hamburg this Wednesday morning. Less than 24 hours after the e-mail was sent, and before I had time to give my response, you intervened yourselves and deleted the article as well as the image from Aftenposten’s Facebook page.

Carmack loves pizza. During his time at id Software, a medium pepperoni pizza would arrive for Carmack from Domino's Pizza almost every day - carried by the same delivery person for more than 15 years. Carmack had been such a regular customer that they still charge him 1995 prices.

Researchers have built the first quantum computer that can not only be programmed, but, just like a regular computer, can actually be reprogrammed, too.

This latest device is only made from five atoms, but it's a huge step towards building scalable, functioning quantum computers that could change the way we process data forever.

Serious question: is there any way to dodge in space battles?

Disclaimer: I haven't left my starting planet yet (playing since last friday btw), because that place has a lot of gold, heridium, nickel and other resources.
So keep in mind that I've zero expertise in space battles in the NMS universe galaxy and take my advice with a grain of salt: use your rudders to manually dodge whatever you don't wanna hit.
