It’s a gas station. I’m not sure what they were expecting from a gas station bathroom.

@fj most of the hyperscaler SoCs seems to be using just off the shelf designs (ie. ARM reference designs). And at their scale, it’s probably cheaper per unit than through a vendor.

It also changes the SoC design prioritities. An off the shelf part needs to be profitable as a standalone product for the vendor. A custom in-house design doesn’t need to be profitable on its own, as long as it is profitable as part of the services it provides.

Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible | Nieman Reports

The numbers confirm what many of us have long suspected — that Twitter wasn’t worth the effort, at least in terms of traffic.

New nuclear testing?

Colonialism is an essential part of nuclear testing by Nuclear Weapon States (NWS), whether that test site is domestic or in the edges of empires.

Two NWS did not test even one weapon within their own national borders (UK & France). The 3 NATO nuke states tested all of their massive H-Bombs in the Pacific (empire).

Domestic sites are always located near minority ethnic or religious communities. China tested all its weapons in Uyghur territory.

Read my paper, "Nuclear Conquistadors: Military #Colonialism in Nuclear Test Site Selection during the Cold War," (updated version in my recent book, Nuclear Bodies).

@InfiniteHench Just in time. Sony just announced these Pulse Explore gaming earbuds that pair to a USB dongle (and Bluetooth as well).

It’s designed for PS5 but their press release say the dongle will plug into PC as well. https://youtu.be/skY_LOIV0xw?feature=shared

No word yet on availability other than “later this year”. Probably in time for holiday shopping.
