I’ve been using Backblaze long before it showed up in YouTube ads. It’s a great product.
I create space related content on YouTube, mostly using Kerbal Space Program to demonstrate concepts: https://youtube.com/ShadowZone

Pokari Sweat.
I survived on that stuff when I did a one week Kebdo training camp in Japan. It’s fantastic!
If you like grounded sci-fi that elicits a “it could happen in a few years” vibe firmly rooted on Earth, check out William Gibson. Most of his stuff is excellent, but “The Peripheral” and its followup “Agency” are recent highlights. From his older stuff I very much enjoyed “Virtual Light” the most. More than his acclaimed “Neuromancer” (he invented the word cyberspace in 1982 and popularized it in this 1984 novel) even.
Neal Stephenson - “Seveneves” One of my all time favorite sci-fi books. It is set mostly in space, but very realistic and never leaves the Earth’s influence. Time setting is basically now or a few years from now.
Also by Stevenson: “Anathem” Marvellous alternate universe story with a few twists. It’s on Earth, just … different.
If you wanna go for the classics (1960 roughly), look into Stanislaw Lem. “Solaris”, “Eden” and “Transfer” all left a lasting impression on me.
Yeah. And adaptive cruise control is something you have to pay 900 Euro extra via the in car shop on some models. Models you already paid 50k Euro and more for.
Andy Weir’s second best book after “The Martian” in my opinion. But not by far, it was a great read and I enjoyed every page of it. Rocky for intergalactic president!
What the heck are you on about? When we went into full work from home at my former company, productivity went UP.
There’s studies showing that companies forcing their workers back into the office suffer huge brain drains and cannot hire as fast as more flexible employers.
The people have spoken.

I used my Pixel 5 as a mobile recording rig. Plugged in my audio interface via USB-C (which powered it as well), two wireless XLR receivers and used the app n-track to record an interview with an astronaut at an ESA event (lav mic on myself and the astronaut).
In that moment, I felt like a pro.
Unfortunately, the interview didn’t get a lot of views on my YouTube channel haha
This was the solution that worked for me as well. Thanks!
I admit it: I’m a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.
As an avid Dune books reader (all of them), I think Villeneuve did the best adaptation possible. As a character, Chani is much more fleshed out in the films and Rebecca Ferguson CRUSHED it as Jessica. Oscar Isaac also was a very good Leto.
My big gripe is with Stilgar and Paul. Stilgar in the second movie was almost relegated to comic relief. Yes, he is also portrayed as a believer in the books, but it felt like a caricature in Dune Part 2.
As for Paul, I had hoped for more focus on why he actually went to drink the water of life. In the books he wanted to avoid it. But events he couldn’t foresee and put people he loved in danger pushed him over the edge. In the film I didn’t get any of that.
Still, loved both parts. Definitely worth a watch.
