You could talk with Brazilians about Santos Dumont…

Users are always more creative than the devs.

I told this story before. I was migrating an old system to a new one and we discovered that we were still sending faxes to some companies. Our system would create a PDF and send to a server that was connected to a phone line. So we called those companies to ask if we could find another way to send the documents. We learned that they too had a server with a software that would receive the fax and transform it in a PDF.

Wait! The same problem Larry Niven’s Ringworld have also applies to Dyson Spheres? Huh! Saving to read later.

The only thing that amazed me about this is that he had a “talent agent”.

This is too much 1984…

It became his Moby Dick.

God’s eye? Why not Jesus’ wheel? We could just say “Jesus, take the wheel!” And the car would engage the self driving mode.

Stop the carbon credit. Tesla will not survive without it.

It started after the last update on Xbox series X. Sometimes the loading screen freezes and I need to force quit the game. When I come back and try the Continue button, it breaks. I need to load an old save to actually load the game.

I'm not talking about the temples, but the traits that appear on a planet that might have a temple. They're just broken structures that we can scan and a source of caelumite. But, lore-wise, what are they? And why are they all destroyed?

 

Until now, my favorite is Shieldbreaker. I like that there are no stairs, the first gun is way too advanced and the big cargo hold. Now I have a modified version of a Crimson Fleet ship (don't remember the name). It's a class C with huge cargo space. I put some science and workshop bays, but the stairs started to pop up. The interface is terrible at this point. What the modules show outside doesn't represent the inside.

 

Could we list here the easter we found, or do you prefer a post per easter egg?

spoilerI just heard "Doc" Manning saying "please state the nature of your medical emergency", which is a phrase used by the holodoc in Star Trek Voyager (and others).

I also found a "earbug" in Pilgrim's Rest, which in my mind, is a reference to Star Trek 2.
