Did anyone notice that "opening the unity editor up to anyone" bit in Unite Seoul? What is up with that? Also CoreCLR in Unity 7? About time.

Booted up my laptop today.Tried to go into Settings on Win11 to re-enable my wifi adapter. Had it off for some cable test using the ethernet adapter yesterday. Only to be met with an infinite loading loop on freakin' Settings, of all things. Fortunately, MS hasn't gotten rid of the old Control Panel

Peeps using @godotengine.org - what plugin are you using to get tokens from Firebase on Android, so you can send that to an external DB system so it knows where to send push notifications? I've found this github.com/GodotNuts/Go... but it won't let you get a local token for push notifications. GD4.5

hey shader people. how do you calculate the brightness of an rgb triplet in linear color space. does it use the same perceived brightness kernel or do you have to do it differently?

Can someone tell me how is it that ios and possibly android can connect to multiple devices (being speakers) and software can also use either of those devices as output, but we don't have a way to support them all in a configurable setup? What with all the smart device home setups?!

I made the incredible mistake of trying to install WinUI to look into someone else's issue, while I had MAUI installed. At some point, I removed WinUI altogether and it bricked my VS. Now, VS has WinUI but no MAUI, even though the reverse is true for installed components..........Repair did nothing.

Game physics people: is it a thing that the various algorithms can give you either a distance (which may be petentration distance) or a boolean for separation, but not both? Is this some fundamental uncertainty?

Lately I've found that the USB removal on the Windows tray fails a lot, but weirdly calling Remove from the "Bluetooth & devices" settings page, does not. What's that about? Why is the one being used most of the time faulty and not fixed already or replaced by the latter?
