I find it pretty incredible that a thing the size/height of an apartment building can be hurtling down towards Earth at thousands of km/h and then just slam on rocket engines for a few seconds to come to a hovering stand still at an altitude of a couple hundred meters. 🤯

Bloody hell, the #Foundation series script writers exercised their artistic freedoms too much again. 🙄 Latest episode added some unexpected twists to the original story, again. Looks like the next season(s) is going to venture off the trilogy...

I may have a little problem with this game… Help? :-D I swore to myself I’d stop at 5000, 8000, 10000, but here we are. 15k will be the max for sure though. It’s just that this is just about the only thing I use my old iPad for these days…

First time I've heard in an airplane safety announcement that #VR headsets must not be worn during take-off or landing. People wear/use headsets during flights these days? 😎 I guess I haven't traveled by plane in a while

Unesco is broadcasting a live Jean-Michel Jarre concert from Samarkand (Uzbekistan) on Youtube right now. Nice. The stream is going to be online for 24 hours only, if I understood correctly, so get to it soon, if interested. youtube.com/live/j_hCwTL4A…

Wanted to do a bit of vibe-coding with Gemini 3 Pro and decided to make a classic BattleZone variant as a browser game, with 3d terrain. 🤓 Not perfect, and by no means a "one-shot" exercise, but a couple of hours of prompting led into this state of game play. Not bad.

In light of recent events I'm becoming more & more convinced that we live in an advanced SimCity simulation and that the player has grown bored of the former good times of peaceful and prosperous scientific, technological and economic developments, and has started launching

Listening to the Good Ol'Tunes, from the mid-90s, with mid-90s computer gfx on the cover. 😅 Still holding up pretty well even now 30 years later. Some of the modern techno goes quite a bit harder though.
