Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

sometimes I think about how our political system is fucked and then I get sad about our current predicament
(Am American, in case you needed context)
Our options for the election are "Old Dude who hasn't done their campaign promises and is funding a genocide" and "Old dude who lets all be honest will make things a lot worse and still fund a genocide". and whats worse is that not voting would probably get the Latter guy elected. and that THESE are our only two real choices. Shits fucked man.

nobuddy feels like they have a sharp attention span these days, right? and we all just click “agree on terms of service” because its hard to love yourself sometimes, well
enter Terms of Service, Didn’t Read: a website and a browser addon that streamlines the terms of service of many popular web services to be read by the tech sunday drivers.
Tumblr media
It’s graded from A (great) to E (awful) and if you have the addon you have access to the info about the website on your bar

Welp. Asmodee is being forced to be the fall guy for Embracers bullshit.
So if you liked ANY of the following games/game series - Marvel Crisis Protocol - Star Wars Legion - Star Wars Armada - Star Wars Shatterpoint - Star Wars X-wing - Catan - Bloodborne the card game - Bloodborne the Board Game - Zombicide - Ticket to Ride - Any LCG ever basically - Arkham Horror - Nemesis - 7 Wonders - Pandemic - too many more to list
And they suddenly stop being printed? You know who to blame.
