The Sequel Trilogy was so poorly executed. I loved the homage to the original Star Wars that the Force Awakens was. I thoroughly enjoyed the rebellion against toxic Star Wars fans that The Last Jedi was. I absolutely hated the utter bullshit the Rise Of Skywalker became. Which in turn soured my feelings about the first two movies. Why they never had an overarching story in the first place is just ridiculous.
In one of the coolest and more outrageous repair stories in quite some time, three white-hat hackers helped a regional rail company in southwest Poland unbrick a train that had been artificially rendered inoperable by the train’s manufacturer after an independent maintenance company worked on it.

No, that’s not the marketing message you should get from this. 100 years of marketing data shows that making people feel bad about themselves in any way they can (styles change for that), makes people want to buy clothing that “the in people” are wearing.

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t.

Artemis was a promising mobile app for Kbin, with a dedicated community, a rapid pace of development, and a high level of polish. Then, the developer disappeared.
That’s a bit concerning. Leave alone the bad practices of multiple single points of failure (single server, single developer, singler person with access to code), the abrupt silence from the developer Harriette looks very concerning. Hopefully we hear back from her soon enough.
