Adobe Research and UC Berkeley: Detecting Facial Manipulations in Adobe Photoshop
First of all: wow. I mean, yeah, Slowpoke, I had no idea that there is that Liquify function in Photoshop. Secondly, that’s kinda amazing, that Adobe is fighting with abusing its own software. Someday that might be really helpful.

🎮 Games
Harry Potter Wizards Unite launches in Ireland (and US, UK and a lot of different countries)
Yes, I’m a Potterhead. Obviously. And even my shitty phone (okay, just old) can handle it, without the AR part. Of course I need to charge it 4 times a day now, but it’s worth it.

Apex Legends Season 2 Weapons Update
Amazing news! While I’m not really stocked about the new weapon, the changes sound awesome. New hop-ups! More energy ammo in a stack and extended magazines. OMG, Havoc, brace yourself!

🙃 Funny
The least expected category, right? But what about a “smart” light bulb that requires 11 steps to just reset itself? Wow. UX at it’s finest!
