No regrets. Polestar 2 MY22 long range AWD. Ride is a lot harsher than in the BMW i4 for instance (family member has one). But overall I wouldn’t want to switch.

With normal news websites, A/B testing could be a thing. We had a rudimentary implementation of that back in 2011 already. But this is Reuters, a news agency. They are B2B and don’t care about clicks, their business model is selling first hand reporting to other media outlets (e.g. CNN, USA Today etc). As stories develop, so does the title. Especially when ongoing conflicts are concerned.

Ugh, might be a EU region lock thing. I hate that type of restriction, especially for a global sports Event. The organizers or media have been going after every shred of shared media from the ceremony. It’s ridiculous, do you want to promote you event or not?

Sorry for the rant, but these antiquated copyright behaviors make me angry.

Clearly thou ART not like the French.

That wasn’t just cool, it was badass! You can rewatch it here: https://youtu.be/cJowjYixfEs

I’ve been using Backblaze long before it showed up in YouTube ads. It’s a great product.

Sorry I don’t. I only have the HDMI card.

Does the Index really need full DP or does it work via USB-C? Because in the end all those expansion cards are just USB-C accessories. I’m asking because we own a Quest2 and use it with USB-C and my desktop PC. Haven’t tried it with my Laptop.

I have the 13" AMD one. Only reason I still have Windows on it is because I can’t get Davinci Resolve to run under Ubuntu. Otherwise very happy with my purchase.

Had this exact thing happen to me. Luckily my Framework laptop’s BIOS allows me to pick the EFI boot order and I set it back to the Linux Boot loader.

This. When I got my CPR training, the consensus was: if you hear or feal something crack, don’t stop. Messing up is better than doing nothing.

Except for the unicorn, your last paragraph is my reality. Oh and it’s five weeks vacation, actually. My wife even has six. Sick days not included. Those are all part of the universal health care we have.

38h work week btw. Rarely overtime.

Pokari Sweat.

I survived on that stuff when I did a one week Kebdo training camp in Japan. It’s fantastic!

If you like grounded sci-fi that elicits a “it could happen in a few years” vibe firmly rooted on Earth, check out William Gibson. Most of his stuff is excellent, but “The Peripheral” and its followup “Agency” are recent highlights. From his older stuff I very much enjoyed “Virtual Light” the most. More than his acclaimed “Neuromancer” (he invented the word cyberspace in 1982 and popularized it in this 1984 novel) even.

Neal Stephenson - “Seveneves” One of my all time favorite sci-fi books. It is set mostly in space, but very realistic and never leaves the Earth’s influence. Time setting is basically now or a few years from now.

Also by Stevenson: “Anathem” Marvellous alternate universe story with a few twists. It’s on Earth, just … different.

If you wanna go for the classics (1960 roughly), look into Stanislaw Lem. “Solaris”, “Eden” and “Transfer” all left a lasting impression on me.

Yeah. And adaptive cruise control is something you have to pay 900 Euro extra via the in car shop on some models. Models you already paid 50k Euro and more for.

Andy Weir’s second best book after “The Martian” in my opinion. But not by far, it was a great read and I enjoyed every page of it. Rocky for intergalactic president!

What the heck are you on about? When we went into full work from home at my former company, productivity went UP.

There’s studies showing that companies forcing their workers back into the office suffer huge brain drains and cannot hire as fast as more flexible employers.

The question should rather be: how did time really behave at the beginning of the universe? Can we really say it was x billion years if in fact shortly after the big bang time moved exponentially slower than it does now?

We’re still fumbling in the dark, desperate for enlightenment. I hope in my lifetime we can answer a few of the open questions. I am certain there will be more than enough left after I’m gone.

I used my Pixel 5 as a mobile recording rig. Plugged in my audio interface via USB-C (which powered it as well), two wireless XLR receivers and used the app n-track to record an interview with an astronaut at an ESA event (lav mic on myself and the astronaut).

In that moment, I felt like a pro.

Unfortunately, the interview didn’t get a lot of views on my YouTube channel haha
