You won't believe what kids are into these days.

The reception of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train” seems to suggest that anime is finally poised to make its leap from the shadows of subculture into the mainstream. https://t.co/cg5YQnPtNa

This being The New Yorker, they do their best to blame anime on Donald Trump.

Anime of the day is Akanesasu Shoujo from 2018, a.k.a The Girl in Twilight which is news to me, in which five girls from the high school radio club save the universe using only discarded communications equipment and fish sausages.

No, really.

Also, don't put chikuwas in your air fryer. Reine from Hololive tried it live on stream and posted the results. The term carbonised comes to mind.

Tech News

The ultimate monitor? (Tom's Hardware)

Maybe. The Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX is a 32" 4K 144Hz monitor with G-Sync, 10 bit DCI-P3 color, HDR10, and an eye-searing maximum brightness of 1400 nits.

Price is a wallet-searing $3000.

Which is a lot for a 4K screen; you can get a decent IPS screen for $250. Or for $4000 you can upgrade to 8K. But a single 8K screen requires all the outputs of a high-end graphics card working together, and a low-end... Wait. This one does 144Hz and has 90% DCI-P3 coverage.

That's not bad for $250.
Intel's high-end multi-chip Xe graphics cards will potentially match Nvidia and AMD's middle-end cards. (WCCFTech)

If it eases the ongoing shortage at all, I'll take it.
I'm going to sing the doom song now. (New Atlas)

2014 UN271 is an Oort Cloud object that is currently approaching perihelion. It's closest approach will be around 11 AU - about a billion miles from the Sun - but its orbit takes it out as far as 60,000 AU - almost a light year.

It's not small either; observations indicate it's around 100 miles in diameter.
The three most important programming languages are Julia, Crystal, and Nim. (Matecdev)

Julia for scientific computing - it's the new Fortran, only even faster and much easier to use.

Anime Catshark Girl Music Video of the Day

Gura from Hololive has good taste in anime. She sang Tsumugi's shark song from Amaama to Inazuma live on stream. A fan reanimated the entire scene to her song, with other Hololive characters dropped into the remaining roles.

Gamers Nexus Cheap Video Card Review of the Day

Steve's back again, this time with Intel's DG1 video card, which you can't buy and couldn't use even if you could. It's an OEM product with very restrictive hardware and firmware requirements.

Also, it's slower than AMD's integrated graphics, and suffers badly from inconsistent performance.

Disclaimer: I mean, so do I, but I'm taking medication and it's getting better.
