turns out it classifies what audio it hears, before reporting back to samsung. sensor preferences, dog-barking and baby-crying event counters, and camera streaming duration are built into telemetry paths.
this is pretty evil and clever. so if your samsung TV model doesnt have a microphone, it will look for connected devices with one, such as a soundbar or a connected bluetooth device. this gets shipped off to bixby.

Hellraiser Revival has been โ€œperforming extremely wellโ€, says Saber CEO. The PLAYERS have spoken: - 93% Very Positive on Steam - 4.7/5 on the PlayStation Store - 4.8/5 on the Xbox Store Iโ€™m just so happy to see Hellraiser Revival succeeding. Well deserved imo. Hopefully more devs take inspiration from this and give us more games like it. frvr.com/blog/news/hellraiseโ€ฆ

Nice, looks like Unreal Engine 5.8.4 now supports pre-compiled PSO delivery through Microsoft's Advanced Shader Delivery, which means UE5 games made with this feature can ship with pre-compiled shaders for many GPU/driver combos. Can't wait for game devs to not use this feature!

About 2 years ago I released this tiny product that improves quality of the UE5 stock volumetric fog: lnkd.in/dbigMrB6 Sold 14 units so far so not exactly a commercial success :). And it appears the days of the product are coming to an end as UE 5.8.3 adds exactly this feature (could expect it sooner or later). So if you need high quality volumetric fog filtering and are on UE 5.8.3+ you're good. But if for some reason you can't upgrade then well, my product is still up there for grab :).

I've been using Unreal Engine almost every day for the past 8 years and just now I found out you can right click a variable to turn it into an array type... This saves you the trip of going all the way to the details panel on the top right
