I’ve been using Backblaze long before it showed up in YouTube ads. It’s a great product.
I create space related content on YouTube, mostly using Kerbal Space Program to demonstrate concepts: https://youtube.com/ShadowZone

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.
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!

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
This is a W. It started with different registers here in Austria as well (“registered partnership” vs “marriage”) until our supreme court ordered it was unconstitutional to make that distinction.
Now all marriages are equal before the law. As they should be.
Thanks for adding more context to this!
Yep, gut-liver-brain axis is a thing and people definitely don’t know enough about it. Including myself.
I admit it: I’m a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.
As an avid Dune books reader (all of them), I think Villeneuve did the best adaptation possible. As a character, Chani is much more fleshed out in the films and Rebecca Ferguson CRUSHED it as Jessica. Oscar Isaac also was a very good Leto.
My big gripe is with Stilgar and Paul. Stilgar in the second movie was almost relegated to comic relief. Yes, he is also portrayed as a believer in the books, but it felt like a caricature in Dune Part 2.
As for Paul, I had hoped for more focus on why he actually went to drink the water of life. In the books he wanted to avoid it. But events he couldn’t foresee and put people he loved in danger pushed him over the edge. In the film I didn’t get any of that.
Still, loved both parts. Definitely worth a watch.
