Technology Connections, we need you to make another video.

Amateur. You're supposed to blame Chinese hackers paid for by George Soros, and go on like nothing happened.

I think a lot of the reports of high bandwidth/cheap rates around Europe are cherry picked. When I looked a nationwide averages, it doesn't seem particularly better or worse than much of the US. At least, not in the populated areas of the US. Rural access is another issue.

A router is also an open-by-default device, and knows how to handle routing protocols like OSPF. It's not something you would usually use at home unless you're into that sort of thing. Things we tend to call a "router" are all-in-one firewall/switch/access points.

Right, and for another thing, it sounds like they're actually following procedures to get court orders/warrants. Now, business as usual in the United States wasn't great as it was, but this doesn't fit how the Trump federal government has been doing things.

You're not wrong that the law should change, but there is one thing here. Generally, when we say that 3-wheelers are unstable, we're talking about one in front/two in back. The opposite configuration, which is what Aptera is using, is generally pretty stable. That one picture of a guy on a recumbent trike is unusual. You almost have to try to do that on purpose.

"ROFL"

Signed, everyone who has been involved in migrating a codebase before.

They won't, because then it's legally considered a proper car that has to have air bags and crumple zones and such. They can only make it small and cheap because it's three wheels.

Steph Sterlings' recent video hits it directly. The big publishers see Balatro doing well, so they go copy Balatro. They spend a lot of effort looking for the next Balatro in all the wrong places. Their attempts to copy it will fail, because people who like Balatro will just play Balatro. This will continue until there's a new indie darling dominating the sales charts, and then they'll try to copy that.

The industry is deeply misguided.

The article puts the cutoff for "old" as being 6 years or more. Officially, Factorio was released in 2020, but we all know that any other studio would have considered it done years before that.

It's AI at this point. Nvidia considers the gamer division to be vestigial. They were a $700B market cap company that was primarily known for gaming GPUs. They are now quadruple that with AI, and that's even with some recent hits to their stock price.

Valve Index is still a damn good headset if you want to jump in. They leapfrogged everyone else and had the best one for a few years. Even if it's been surpassed now, it doesn't have the corporate issues that the others do.
