In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday, the Republican vice presidential candidate came close to acknowledging that rumors about Haitian migrants eating cats in Springfield, Ohio, are completely fabricated — and then backtracked, saying the rumors are true after all.“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” Vance said. When Bash asked him to clarify whether he created the story, Vance made an about-face, claiming he had heard “firsthand accounts” from his constituents. “I say that we’re creating a story meaning that we’re creating the American media focusing on it,” Vance...

If you have an Nvidia graphics card, you've probably heard of ShadowPlay. It's a feature that you can enable so that when you press a key bind, it saves the last X amount of minutes to a folder on your PC. It's constantly recording using a hardware encoder for a limited hit on your GPU, and it's something that you can't really get on any other hardware.

However, with OBS, you can make your own ShadowPlay that works on any machine... and yes, it even works on Mac.

Whether you do your work on the latest iPad Pro, one of the best laptops, or a custom PC, you still need software to get those tasks done. Unfortunately, it feels like everything is a subscription these days, from the movies and TV shows we watch to the software that we run on our computers.

When buying a gaming PC, you have mostly standard pricing across manufacturers, as well as on sites like PCPartPicker to help you determine the right price based on individual components. In contrast, when it's finally time to sell your PC, there's no single source of truth to determine the resale value of your beloved machine. Selling PC hardware involves a fair amount of guesswork where the resale market dynamics dictate a lot of the pricing.

Previously, only the native iOS camera app could be conveniently accessed that way.Although Halide offers advanced features like manual shutter speed adjustments and a “Process Zero” option that delivers images without any AI processing, accessing Apple’s camera app was always faster thanks to its lockscreen shortcut.
