Really short today.
Google is updating AR for Google maps app. It looks pretty cool, and weak compared to what we expect now.
Team Fortress 2 is getting a giant update.

New AI that lets you build 3D scenes from single image. This time it's outdoors.
Now that's a good use of AI. Although it could be used nefariously too ofc. It's all in why it's being done.
Valve saw OW2 slowly dying and decided to take a shot at reviving TF2.
They were swimming in money at the office and found a work computer.
Do you realize TF2 is now older than TF1 was when TF2 came out?
>slowly
Every time I get a hankering for TF2 game gets ruined by bots. On VAC servers.
I guess they can't really do anti-cheat on linux when cheaters can just compile the cheat into the kernel itself and Valve are desperate for linux to work so they don't get cut out of the market by app store monopolies.
They could at least get rid of the sniper class so bots had to actually try.
Dang. I just do local or bots.
Also, I do the Specialists, but that's another subject.
Given that Valve has mention the update is a "as-yet-unnamed, un-themed, but still very exciting summer-situated... update", I doubt it's going to be the "Heavy Update". That and them not talking about weapons means I expect something bigger than a Smissmas/Scream Fortress but below a mainline update.
