The math on this image is insane. New Horizons transmitted at 2,000 bits per second from 3 billion miles away. Slower than a 1990s dial-up modem. It took 16 months to download all the flyby data. The spacecraft had to hit a target box 100km wide, arriving within 150 seconds
It took 9 years and 3 billion miles to get this shot. Pluto’s icy Mountains. https://t.co/jpj3kSYQoz

I totally agree. Not just all my computing and mobile devices but also all kinds of electronic devices that used to use odd, unique, or proprietary chargers like Theraguns, rechargeable flashlights, wireless headphones - they have all gone to USB-C which is an incredible
I see a lot of people dunking on this, but I am very happy my iPhone, iPad, PC and Samsung foldable all have the same connector. And for those who talk about future innovation- what law says that we cant create a USB-D? You know, like we did during the past 29 years?

Windows Phone (for this is she) had an eyecatching design refreshingly different to the already somewhat tired icon grid of iOS and Android. But it was just too late to the market - there was already no room for a third mobile OS and ecosystem

The Odyssey Trailer but Historically Accurate Armor (Bronze Age) by demonflyingfox on YT (same creator who did the early AI Balenciaga videos). This... convinces me that AI will definitely change the game from a post production / fan edit POV. I also do think the historically
