From Black Mirror episode to real life dystopia in just a month. Has to be a new record.

The sphere is effectively an outdoor electronic billboard, that probably runs on Windows, and functions as a secondary or mirrored display. So I wonder how long it’ll be before the Sphere looks like this:

This is obviously an armchair comment from someone with no engineering credentials, but it’s interesting to see what I believe to be the titanium end cap and seal ring to both be largely intact.

Right?! Can we get another take on this where the Korean brands are the hard pass they should be right now?

Does the couch hold average Americans? Or only svelte Swedes?

I hate Crystal Skull, but I often wonder whether, if there was a cut that somehow excised Shia LaBoeuf, I might have thought it was just mediocre. That kid could screw up Goodfellas with his babbling acting style.

There’s no solar plant on Earth that can operate 24/7/365 like a space-based one could.
