I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

This story of one coder's 16-year effort to make an emulator for a largely forgotten laser disc video game system is a fun reminder of the mountains people will climb simply "because it's there."

"This is the first:" The 16 year odyssey of "time, money, wrong turns and frustration" it took to finally emulate the Pioneer LaserActive
In April 2009, a Sega fan decided to look into emulating the Mega LD, a quirky and little-known hybrid of Genesis and LaserDisc. This week he finished the job.

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself.

He is his own ponzi scheme.

Pour out a dose of cold nitrogen gas for the amazing Gaia space telescope. It mapped more than a billion stars & revolutionized our picture of our galaxy.

Here's the last view of Gaia from Earth, as the telescope made a final maneuver using its nitrogen propellant. 🧪🔭

What completely blows my mind is that Kraftwerk was founded only 8 years after The Rolling Stones.

Ralf Hütter is 78, 3 years younger than Mick Jagger.
Absolutely.

Major props to Google for actually fixing the Chromecast Audio failures. It's an EOL product from 10 years ago. (It doesn't forgive Google Reader or any number of other @killedbygoogle.com ), but it's nice to see. www.theregister.com/2025/03/13/g...
