Last November, NASA's Voyager 1 sent home garbled data, and engineers traced the problem to the flight data subsystem (FDS). The problem turned out to be a single chip in the FDS memory. They couldn't repair the chip but could move the affected code into sections and store them in different parts of the FDS system. They tested the new system this week, sending signals to the Voyager 1, 22.5 light-hours away. It worked, and Voyager 1 is back.

Uh. I'm pretty sure this just killed every single indie/AA owned by Embracer: https://embracer.com/releases/embracer-group-announces-its-intention-to-transform-into-three-standalone-publicly-listed-entities-at-nasdaq-stockholm/

Indie doesn't scale. You can't katamari up a bunch of tiny studios and then say "alright break into 100 teams and each make small games!", it breaks down. But that's essentially what they did #GameDev

Heat pumps work when it’s cold.

They just work harder.

Heat pumps remain more than twice as efficient as gas boilers, even at temperatures well below freezing.

I was talking to someone about Shovel Knight the other day, and I got the funniest image in my head of my ratself as one of the Propeller Rats. I just had to draw it.

Short PSA:

WD-40 is not a lubricant. It is a brand of penetrating oil, also known as penetrating fluid. If you have metal parts that are rusted solid, WD-40 might help you get them to move so you can take them apart, but it evaporates quickly and leaves no lubrication behind.

So if you want to *oil* something, you need a lubricating oil. Which one depends, but which one is never WD-40.
