Pop and rockObituaryGary Wright obituarySinger and songwriter whose 1976 hit Dream Weaver combined yearning vocals with a haunting and distinctive synthesiser soundWhen considering the pioneers of electronic pop music, names such as Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder spring to mind.

Professional Performance: Windows Agisoft Photoscan – 2D to 3D Image Manipulation: link
Agisoft Photoscan creates 3D models from 2D images, a process which is very computationally expensive. The algorithm is split into four distinct phases, and different phases of the model reconstruction require either fast memory, fast IPC, more cores, or even OpenCL compute devices to hand. Agisoft supplied us with a special version of the software to script the process, where we take 50 images of a stately home and convert it into a medium quality model.

New Pepsi flavors don’t come around very often. Sure, you’ll get the occasional limited edition collab (like the maple syrup IHOP Pepsi), but Pepsi isn’t like Coca-Cola with its Creations line, releasing new flavors based on the concept of angst or inspired by something Link cooked up in the latest Zelda game. So, we were psyched when we first heard rumors about new Pepsi flavors way back in 2023. And we waited patiently for this very moment when we could try them.
