This is Valdas Dambrauskas in 2000, participating in Lithuanian edition of ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’.

He was just a student that never played professional football.

The money he won allowed him to go to England and attend multiple coaching courses. He managed to gain early experience at clubs like Manchester United, Fulham and Brentford.

In 2007, he got a job at ninth-tier English side Kingsbury London Tigers and eventually led them to the best result in their history.

He got 12 different managerial jobs afterwards, mainly in Baltic countries. There was some impressive local success, but there were also heartbreaks on his path.

This year, he won domestic double with Azerbaijani side Sabah, despite Qarabag being firm favourites.

Today, he led Sabah to the league phase of the Champions League for the first time in their history. 🏆

Apple’s liquid glass icons have to be designed by people so young who have never used the objects they’re modeled after snd therefore didnt notice the detail

The problem, as someone in the replies pointed out, is not the pin, it’s the overlapping needles that make them look like they move independently like watch hands

Steve Jobs, who lost his shit over the wrong shade of yellow used in the Google logo on the iPhone, would have fired everyone making iconography at Apple right now.

Marriage is when a wife wakes her husband up in the middle of the night and tells him to roll over because his snoring is keeping her up.

While husbands allow their wives to continue sleeping even when her snoring is keeping him awake. But he records her because she will deny it in the morning and he’ll need the video evidence.

Most people don't realize that Nolan cuts quicker than most directors. Over the years, I've calculated the Average Shot Length (ASL) of all films by director. Some eye-opening info:

🎮🤯 Un moddeur est parvenu à lancer GTA dans GTA… dans GTA.

Grâce à un mod créé par Dryxio, il est désormais possible de jouer à GTA III et GTA Vice City directement depuis GTA San Andreas, sur la télévision de CJ ou via une borne d’arcade.

Mais le créateur est allé encore plus loin : il a fait tourner Vice City à l’intérieur de GTA III, lui-même lancé dans San Andreas. Chaque jeu fonctionne avec son propre moteur, ses sauvegardes et sa progression indépendante.

À ce stade, ce n’est plus un mod… c’est Inception version Rockstar 😨

SOMEONE BUILT A CAPTCHA THAT TAKES FABLE 5, ONE OF THE SMARTEST AI MODELS, 10 MINUTES TO SOLVE

the letters dont exist in any single frame. theyre only visible because of how they move, hidden in the motion itself

> freeze it on any frame and theres nothing there
> you literally cannot screenshot it, the answer only appears when its moving
> a human brain reads the motion instantly and sees the letters
> an ai looking at a still frame sees nothing, so it gets stuck for 10 minutes

every ai captcha solver works by taking a snapshot and reading it. this one has no readable snapshot to take. the information only exists across time, not in any one image

Rip every radio out of your phone. It will still leak your inputs.

Capacitive touchscreens scan sequentially. Your finger touching the screen affects the local impedance and modulates the emissions.

Able to extract keystrokes and pin inputs from 15cm away with ~90% accuracy.

A kid will quit a math app in 6 minutes, but grind Factorio for 6 hours.

The math app has more points, badges, and streaks. Factorio has none.

「濡れた本は、冷凍庫に入れろ」
正気を疑うような助言、実は「科学的正解」でした。

■一見すると絶望的な光景
水没してパンパンに膨らんだ本。
それをそのまま冷凍庫に放り込むと、
画像のようにカチカチに凍りつきます。
「余計に悪化していないか？」
そう不安になりますが、ここからが魔法の時間です。

■図書館も推奨する驚きの原理
実はこれ、国立国会図書館も認める技。
水分を氷に変え、そのまま蒸発させる
「昇華」という仕組みを利用しています。
普通に乾かすとページが波打ちますが、
凍らせることで紙の繊維が固定され、
驚くほど平らに、綺麗に復活するのです。

■失敗しないための「鉄則」
１、本をジップロックに入れ、口は「開けたまま」にする
２、冷凍庫の中に「立てて」入れる
３、24時間以上放置して、しっかり乾燥させる
　　これだけで、お風呂に落とした本も救えます。

■諦める前に冷やして
ドライヤーで乾かすと、紙はバリバリになります。
焦って熱を当てるのは、実は最悪の禁じ手。

大切な1冊を濡らしてしまったら、
まずは落ち着いて、冷凍庫の隙間を開けましょう。

知識があるかないかで、守れる思い出の数が変わります。

もしもの時のために、この「凍らせる魔法」を保存しておいて。
