“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should”

It will never be easier than right now. Every day you stay, you dig their moat around you even deeper

The trouble I have with this proposal, is Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight and Goldeneye weren’t released until 1997. So that’s a pass from me :)

Impossible to think about Loom without thinking about the first room in Money Island and the guy with the badge

"Talk to me about Loom!" That was my introduction to it.

I believe it was reasonably popular back in the day, made money at least. Now it would be almost avant guarde in its slowness I guess. You can't even double click to run. The popular art of yesteryear becomes the high art of today...

Now they go to Bezos

Where there’s an opportunity to be the 1%, folks will find a way to be the 1%

As someone who owns a pair of Unitree G2s this blew my mind

what are you using those for ?

Performance and entertainment at events, along with four of their Go2 Pro dogs (the real crowd pleasers)

First example I thought of is the titanium punch sheets and wordlists for crypto wallet recovery phrases https://shop.ledger.com/products/cryptotag-zeus and https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/bip-003...

There is also Microsoft Project Silica which I recall seeing in person at their EBC playing back a movie from it https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/project-sil...

Then there is m-disc which uses the DVD+R and BD-R/BDXL standards but writing to a sort of glass rather than to the traditional medium. These are cool as they play back n regular players too. https://www.mdisc.com/

Unfortunately, currently produced mdisks are not the same as older ones. Requirements for media has been relaxed a while ago, most disks are not meant to last 1000 years anymore. Still, I don't know any viable alternative, besides maybe LTOs if you're lucky to know somebody with reasonable drive (not sure about US, in EU drives are quite expensive, and I mean used drives of course).

Edit: found Reddit discussion I learned that from: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/13693k0/new_de...

This will be a dreadfully inconvenient stat for some narratives

Slight tangent: what’s the deal with the weird ligatures on that page in the headings?

I'm the biggest typography nerd and love ligatures. Can't tell if the majority likes them or dislikes them lol

I’m not seeing this setting in UK. Am I being blind or is it genuinely not there?

It's only supported on EE/BT at the moment.

Interesting, I’m on EE!

Edit: I’m not on 26.3. I hadn’t clocked this was a new release thing
