Yeah, looking at rare earth deposits and production capacity is not happy reading for the US.
It does explain the huge interest for Greenland, even though nobody in the administration really admits to it.

It would make a lot more sense for the US to enter into a partnership with Brazil and India, with the added challenge that both are members of BRICS along with Russia and China.

Or call it capitalism at work. It seems that the standard is to layoff 1-5% of the workforce, even if the company has a healthy bottom line.

Self driving cars won't work until nearly all cars on the road are self driving.
They also won't work as long as the roads are open for people to walk on.

And then there is the issue about liability, who will get the blame if/when a self driving car kills a person/child. Will it be the driver/owner, the automaker or a different entity entirely.

These are the major problems facing self driving.

I find it fascinating how complicated timezones can actually be.

Best example is Arizona as described on Wikipedia

I suppose building a new game is the better revenue model.
Might give it a try anyway, as I have only played Snowrunner in the series.

Good summary of what Blizzard needs to do in order to revitalize Diablo 4.
Seasons is probably the biggest problem, right now it's only function is to generate good ideas for Eternal D4.
Who thought it would be a good idea to grind to level 100 every three months ?

The D4 of today is just so far from the original vision of Diablo as told in the book "Stay a while and listen".

EU politicians really miss those COVID days where they had full control over their citizens.

Today the argument is "for the children", tomorrow it is "to prevent terror". These totalitarian ideas really needs to stop, or the EU will have no future.

Great game for sure, but remember to take backups regularly as the game has a bug that corrupts save games beyond repair.

That setting should be default set to Keyboard and Mouse on the PC, that's the issue.
But it's a minor issue for sure.

I'm still not sure I like the combat mechanics, chose the Samurai and the swings with the sword seems a bit uncontrollable. But it's early days still.

And Elden Ring seems as hard as promised.

Just a small nitpick on the VS 2022 news, it is for version 17.0.6 which is just a very minor update.

So the title is a bit misleading, but nothing major

Keep up the good work.

Not too different from Second Life if anyone can remember that. And it looks like NFTs will meet the same fate.

Sorry, but Curling is just too long and boring to watch, but the great thing about the Olympics is all the different disciplines.

Ski jumping and Bobsled are some of the favorites, i wonder if we'll see another Eddie:

Oh and blocking an athlete from competing due to Corona should be outlawed.

Looks more like PS5 accessories, not a single PS5 in sight.

Not really, the GTA franchise accounts for half that number and then there is Re Dead Redemption just to name another successful title.

May these few months be the last ones where Corona is treated differently from the flu.

The world needs it's sanity back.

Wow that is old. Just checked the Panzer General series and it's even older dated back to 1994. Still an awesome game though

Except you haven't been able to reliable purchase any current gen console for a year.

So it's a tie at best.

I'm sure someone has worked out the math behind the power requirements for this to work.
Or more blackouts will happen due to overloading of the electrical grid.

Another thing is that current electric cars do not charge fast enough to be a viable solution for people in apartments.
When the tech offers 10X the current charging speed, then going electric for all starts to make sense.

Thinking that more lockdowns will change things is naive at best. We have to live with Corona in our lives, which is just what the vaccines accomplish.

This is just one protest to highlight that we need to return to normality as soon as possible, limiting the freedom of the people in a democratic country is not the right way.
