While all the official channels stay silent on the future of Kerbal Space Program 2 and everyone wondering what's going on, I decided this might be a good time to look at alternatives.
So here you have them: Six games to play instead of KSP2.

Check it out: https://youtu.be/fJMXoi4tczU

This is your video alert for me trying to cut through the fog around the "KSP2 is dead" narrative that made the rounds over the past 24 hours:

Things do not look good right now.

The Soviet Space Shuttle Buran was amazing! In my latest video I dive deep into what made it special, its carrier rocket Energia and.... SPACE LASERS!

No, really, you need to watch this!

I won't go near Temu, and this Financial Times piece may help explain why I feel that way. https://1ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ft.com%2Fcontent%2F7062735d-43c5-4570-ac11-bc929ea0f297

@dangillmor Temu aggressively sponsors content creators, they also tried to get me to do a bit for them. Never in a million years, even if I were broke would I cooperate with such a garbage company.

There are periods in my life where I can't seem to get anything done.
I know the tasks I need to do. I even begin them.
But it all. takes. so. much. more. time. and. effort.
Way more than at other times where I just breeze through everything (which could be a few days later).

I wish I could control this somehow. It's infuriating not being able to be at full capability all the time.

Anyone else know this feeling?

Kerbal Space Program 2 received a new update this week called "For Science!". In my latest video I show you how it all works and what you need to be aware of especially compared to the original game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtWqQ88wvH4

Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

UEFIs booting Windows and Linux devices can be hacked by malicious logo images.

@arstechnica I always hated full screen BIOS logos. Add this to the list as of why.
And another nail in the coffin of my trust in Gigabyte to update their BIOS in a timely fashion.
My company issued Lenovo already has a patch, my private desktop rig is at the mercy of a company that never was any good with BIOS updates.

Wanna play "For Science!", the first content update for Kerbal Space Program 2? Soon you can! But what can you expect from it? I got some things for you right here in my latest video: https://youtu.be/l5ukdy4XFqQ

For Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040 Series) owners, we have a Beta BIOS and driver update available now. This resolves known Linux compatibility issues and includes some additional fixes:

Extremely smooth performance now!

Austria: We're sending a military plane to evacuate our citizens from Israel.
Also Austria: Our plane is defective, please wait.

We have three C-130s, only one was flight ready and that had to turn back minutes after take off, reporting smoke in the cabin

In Austria, we react to that with: "Oida!"

Can anyone explain to me, why so many people appear to be flocking to instead of here on ?
I get zero (in numbers: 0) engagement over there, but a lot of organic engagement over here.

Why would I want to go to another billionaire playground social media walled garden?

As reviews drop today, especially when you read about Linux compatibility, read and bookmark this as the source of truth. Note compatibility specifically.

Bob Smith is finally gone from Blue Origin—his replacement comes from Amazon

"I am confident that Blue Origin's greatest achievements are still ahead of us."

@arstechnica about time. Whether or not Limp can turn the ship around is a different story.

He needs to prioritize getting New Glenn flying (sub prio: stabilize BE-4 development).

But to do that he will need to mend a lot of broken glass that Smith has shattered, especially when it comes to employee trust.

Agile principle five comes to mind: "Build projects around motivated individuals, give them the environment and support they need and trust them to get the job done."

This is the reality of a boiling planet.

We are on track to overshoot our goal to cut our greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.

But we need to speed up the global clean energy transition if we want to limit the temperature rise to 1.5℃.

will be our opportunity to do so.

ShadowZone,
@ShadowZone@mastodon.social avatar

@EU_Commission Clean energy transition also has to include energy storage. So many discussions focus solely on generation, while storage to take care of peaks is at least as much as important. We could learn a lot from Australia in that regard - they built huge battery plants so their grid can handle increased demand during peak times better.
Also: energy transportation needs to be addressed (read "better power lines" in layman's terms).

CREATORS: Do you use a Shure SM7b regularly and like it? Send me a clip that clearly shows you using it (ideally from an existing video/stream) here or via email [adam at eposvox dot com] I want to show it in a video idea I have!

ShadowZone,
@ShadowZone@mastodon.social avatar

@EposVox I use the SM7b all the time, but the only video where you can actually see me in front of it is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSxCaITLGkw
It's probably in 90% of my videos, but except the above, all of those are voiceover, no face. For talking head segments I use a Sennheiser lav mic. I don't like the visual of having a mic in front of my face when not actually demoing stuff on my screen.

FML. My apartment management just showed up to install the new internet package, which sounded pretty good (Symmetrical Gbit). Dude comes in to set it up and is trying to install a wifi access point behind my couch. I told him I don't need an access point because I have my own mesh network, I just need to connect the new modem to my network rack. He starts trying to explain that the internet doesn't require a modem, so I'm like confused af.

After like 10 minutes of trying to figure out wtf this guy is talking about, I realized they've installed an apartment complex wide wifi mesh network, so there is no individual internet packages anymore. Everyone in the entire apartment complex is just connected to one big wifi network. They claim all the users are segmented by VLAN, but I genuinely don't think I've ever wanted something less in my life.

This is your reminder to service your commute bike regularly.

Dropped this on the bike path today. Decided afterwards that one-legged cycling is overrated.

@daniel I got lucky. It started wiggling a little before completely falling off. I was already off the pedals and on the brakes.

btw, this also made me check my MTB's crank: I was able to tighten the screws almost half a turn before the torque wrench hit the 12Nm limit.

If you maintain your bikes yourself, a torque wrench is really useful!
