  • ImHex requires a GPU with OpenGL 3.0 support in general. There are releases available (with the -NoGPU suffix) that are software rendered and don’t require a GPU, however these can be a lot slower than the GPU accelerated versions.

    If possible at all, make ImHex use the dedicated GPU on your system instead of the integrated one (especially Intel HD GPUs are known to cause issues).

    This sort of thing drives me round the bend. It’s a hex viewer, not a AAA game, why does it need or even care about your GPU. The data visualisation is nice, but there are other tools for that, Gnu Poke springs to mind.


  • Check the linked article, the issue is around how information that is technically true but presented in certain ways can influence people. They found that headlines that, for instance, said someone had died after being vaccinated had a significant effect on people’s intention to get vaccinated themselves, despite complications being very rare.

    Basically people are easy to influence, and you don’t need to outright lie to do it, just presenting facts in an unbalanced way will do it. Many would call that lieing too, but it’s by omission rather than by fabrication.
