As most of you know, I do not regularly post articles that are related to specific games.
However, Half-Life: Alyx most certainly is an exception for many reasons.
Having played and loved all Half-Life games, growing up with them, and having an interest in VR games, “Half-Life: Alyx” was simply a MUST HAVE.
After playing the game from beginning to end, more than once, I can only say that this is the new gold standard for VR gaming.
Spoiler alert!
Before you start reading this:
I HIGHLY recommend you finish the game first!
Really, it is so worth it, and you would not want to spoil the game with some lame cheats.
Don’t get me wrong; Cheats can be fun after you finished the game and you’re ready to mess around in the game.
So be warned as this description may contain spoilers.

Sometimes we need one, a few, or a lot of empty dummy files – just for testing our application, or to hold a space.
Now you could open a text editor and save an empty file, but there are easier ways to make empty dummy files.
In this article I’ll show you how it can be done under Windows (incl. DOS and PowerShell), Linux and macOS.
For most of us, working in Linux or in a shell is not necessarily a daily activity, and that’s totally OK.
I’m not daily working with it either, but occasionally I use one of those funny commands to set the access rights to certain files and/or directories.
This command, chmod, is not super complicated to work with, and is commonly used when working in a shell or terminal on both the MacOS X and Linux platforms. But we need a “magic number” to set these rights. The “magic number” for chmod is also commonly used with FTP programs.
Whenever I use this command, I need to refresh my mind on how to calculate the “magic number”, and I find myself looking for a chmod calculator.
Since I’m lazy at times, I figured: why not have one on my own website?
So I started playing with JavaScript and created this chmod calculator.
