Analgesic Productions have opened up the full source code for their 2D-3D action-adventure game Anodyne 2: Return to Dust. This is a Source Available release, not to be confused with true Open Source, since it's using a custom license with certain restrictions. However, it does effectively make the entire game free (if you build it yourself), since it also includes all the assets. This is the same thing the developer did with the first Anodyne game and also with Even the Ocean as well.

Windows 11 users could be treated to a range of minor (but useful!) tweaks which have been spotted in recent preview builds, including some nifty taskbar-related changes. One notable change introduced with the latest preview of Windows 11 in the Beta channel (build 22635) is a taskbar tweak that means a jump list appears when you hover over an icon on the bar. This list pops up to allow you to access features in the app with a quick click - so for example, with the Snipping Tool, you can click to take a screenshot there and then.Right now in Windows...

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

If you want to keep an eye on how your USB devices are interacting with your PC, you could do worse than get a USB sniffer. These keep tabs on what data is going through your USB ports, which is handy for developing tools or just making sure your devices are behaving themselves. Until now, USB sniffers were pretty niche, but someone has cracked the code and found a way to turn a Raspberry Pi Pico into your very own detector.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
