Finished reading Diablo III: The Book of Cain (Italian translation). The package is pretty, the graphics are good but the texts (by Flint Dille) aren't convincing throughout the whole thing: too much trivial stuff and mawkish crap, that is the same unforgivable sins Blizzard made within Diablo III (the game). Oh, I miss Blizzard North so much.... 3/5, only for fans.

JUST FINISHED READING - Kevin Mitnick's Ghost in the Wires

Quite interesting to read about his life as a hacker, but felt like it was building up to something more then it did.

I did enjoy it though, some nice bed time reading. It's a shame he didn't go in to more depth with the technical side of things.

JUST STARTED READING - Bobby Henderson's The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

I've had this one for a while but I've only just got around to reading it. The author seems like a nice chap, but sound proper quakers.

I can fully understand where he's coming from though and while the book doesn't seem to want to ease you into the thought process, it expects you to mostly be open minded about such things already.

I guess for the people who are going to be reading about FSM; they've already decided and know, but as the book suggests to be a pastafarian you're are open to be proven wrong :)

Very good read so far and quite funny, I'll never look at another midget in the same way again.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
