One of the DLLs Notepad++ uses was compromised/customized by the CIA. Any apps that then use that DLL essentially allowed it to start up and do data collection in the background. The users were unaware it was happening, because all they saw running was Notepad++ rather than random_program.exe

Any of the LEGO games are a great choice starting around ages 3 or 4. They use button picture prompts, and often obstacles can be overcome by the parent while the little one jumps around smashing things.
Re-enforces moving around in a 3d space, and gets good familiarity with button locations doing different things (while really only needing jump and punch for most things).
After a while with LEGO, started getting into games like Minecraft Dungeons - again parent can do most of the work while the little one tags along for the ride.
Was around age 5/6 that my son was able to pick up Minecraft - nothing sophisticated and again I did most of the building, but allowed him to contribute more than he had previous games, and strongly builds spatial awareness skills. Pokemon also became accessible as reading skills were good enough to understand what was on the screen.
From a tech perspective, insanely clever to use modern phones rolling shutter mode to sample significantly more data points.
From a "is this going to cause problems for the average person" perspective - not even close. Requires 65 minutes of recorded, stable footage. The camera must be < 6 feet away if the lights are on, and the cryptography algorithm must be running during that magic hour of recording...
It does enable remote attacks, but only if all very specific requirements are met, and it requires you have access to a camera for a long period of time that is perfectly positioned.
Yeah the benefits seem to be greater on the marine side...
But even then how much better they are is essentially unknown with an awful lot of drawbacks. They weigh more which is problematic for drones, are significantly more complex to manufacture and thus are more expensive.
So unless they can quantify how much better (and for those cons they need to be significantly better) I don't see this gaining any traction.
This is incredibly depressing to me, it's very hard not to feel hopeless.
Seriously thank you for this! The notes were extremely helpful for me. I'm staying cautiously optimistic that a couple months after release we will have a stable game worth playing.
I absolutely loved the humor. All hail the vegetables
As a cat family, Stray had me and my wife smiling from start to finish. So many "yep, that's a cat thing" moments.
It's just a fancy way of saying "Big Update #3". I think the marketing department is using it as a play on words, like this is a "moment" you won't forget type thing.
