They need to do a post-apocalyptic movie with a scene set in Fresno with unfinished CA HSR viaducts hulking in the background against a polluted orange sky.
The problem with post-apocalyptic films set in Fresno is that the local audience will be challenged to find things depicted that are different, nevermind worse.
I'm literally waiting for Satisfactory to go on Steam sale so I can buy it again and not have to deal with the Epic launcher for one game I bought on sale when the store launched. :)
Yea, with starlink it's pretty hard to find places on the planet without internet. And as satellites with laser backhaul come online those places with disappear too.

Can they really not find ANYONE outside their bubble? A phone lives and dies by its UI and they pick someone who primarily does toolchain/CLI work? I don't get it.
Based on the livestream, the project is for Rob to find the freest Android ROM and phone and then reverse engineer the proprietary bits to the FSF's standards. Not very well communicated, but he seems qualified to do that.
Not sure if this was in jest or not but I can say the same. Both when I daily drove a MacBook Pro, and when I was using a Razer laptop as a desktop replacement at the height of the GPU shortage (it DID NOT like charging the battery all the time, eventually it puffed up and I had to remove and recycle it, oops). Though I do see the utility of auto-switching for the average user, so I definitely won't complain about the existence of it. :)
See, here's what I don't get: Who wants to go through the trouble? Buying tons of nibs, pens, inks, and paper to find one I like, when I go months without even picking up a normal pencil or pen? I'm really curious what people are still writing by hands these days, especially where others would have the ability to comment on it. I don't think I've even used a pen for a signature in god knows, since all the doctor's offices, etc, these days either have touchscreens or email you the forms to fill out online. Are you writing for fun? Doing math? What am I missing here?
At least for me, it was back when I was taking classes in college and writing a lot of notes. Made it easy to try a bunch of pens and inks. That said, just try a few. You don't have to be systematic or spend a bunch. I like fine tips, so any fine tip is fine with me.
That, and I keep a written log of what I do during a day. Helps with annual performance reviews and to answer the question of "wait didn't I do X a week ago?" I guess I could migrate to a text file or something, but that's a lot more restrictive of a format than just writing.
Plus, my notebook isn't going to suddenly run out of battery in the middle of a string of meetings. And if my pen goes dry - just find whatever ballpoint or pencil is around, nbd.
That said, nobody's forcing you to write or whatever. People enjoy different things, and that's okay.
