The reasons to upgrade from this GPU is to launch AAA games from the last three years, AI/ML, creative tools (3D, video...) or to save a few watt-hour. If you don't care about that upgrading is just wasteful.

The networking part of Nvidia (based on Infiniband) was originally an Israeli company called Mellanox. They probably already have a large footprint there.

Atlantis is cool, bad guys are actually threatening, the cast is fun, and the world building doesn't go of the rails as much as SG1 in the later seasons. It strikes a good balance between serious stakes and more light hearted space shenanigans.

Universe is... different. It's a very serious show, that clearly tried to have a tone similar to the Battlestar Galactica reboot. Sometimes it works, but it's hard to see where it was going (literally) before being cancelled.

I remember my mind being blown away by a TV segment that explained how the practical effect was achieved.

My understanding is that the game is not tied to your account though, so this enables lending and selling your game.

In 2004, a french TV executive famously publicly said he was in the business of selling "available brain time" to advertisers.

One of the most captivating video game experience I have ever had. Most of the time it's just a great atmosphere, some moments are stressful without being violent.

At this point, I expect most tickets holder are influencers trying to cash in on a reaction video.

Launching from Norway over the ocean means launching due north or slightly west (the spaceport website says 90 to 110° inclination). West is the "wrong" way for fuel efficiency (probably not so important at these high inclination). These polar orbit are more useful for low earth orbit (earth observation mainly), a satellite can change its inclination but that's more fuel and less useful payload mass. With inclination change, the site could be used to launch constellations.

Big communication satellite need to launch at lower inclination (closer to the equator and due east).

So it makes sense only for some use case, but it's great to see redundancies. And if it works well, maybe some day they could get a pas in french Guyana.

No idea if it's remotely similar but it made immediately think about this: https://www.gog.com/en/game/pharaoh_cleopatra

That's a good game.
