Halle Berry Pens Tribute to Sidney Poitier: ‘An Angel Watching Over All Of Us’

Variety 

I grew up idolizing Sidney Poitier.

God of War PC performance, recommended specs and the best settings to use

Rock Paper Shotgun 

Fatherly axe-‘em-up God of War is out on PC this week, and I’ve been dragging my disappointing son around the Nine Realms to see how it copes with the jump from PlayStation to Windows. The answer: pretty well! Like previous marquee Sony port Horizon Zero Dawn, this is a game that already looked lovely on console, and the extra muscle of even a modest PC rig can deliver sizeable boosts to both visual quality and frames-per-second.

You’ll be able to write your next Klingon opera in LibreOffice

PC World 

Warriors of the Empire, hear me! While my pink blood longs for the battlefield as much as any of my Klingon brothers and sisters, the time has come to admit that our alliance with the weaklings in the Federation does have some fringe benefits. Not only have we regained access to classic texts from that most celebrated Klingon storyteller, Shakespeare, we now have a means of preserving our written heritage for humans. LibreOffice, a Federation means of processing written words, will soon support the glorious Klingon language. Читать дальше...

Newly discovered type of 'strange metal' could lead to deep insights

Phys.org 

Scientists understand quite well how temperature affects electrical conductance in most everyday metals like copper or silver. But in recent years, researchers have turned their attention to a class of materials that do not seem to follow the traditional electrical rules. Understanding these so-called "strange metals" could provide fundamental insights into the quantum world, and potentially help scientists understand strange phenomena like high-temperature superconductivity.

Phys.org 

Economic growth goes down when the number of wet days and days with extreme rainfall go up, a team of Potsdam scientists finds.
