    Yeha humour and voice acting land well imo, shame if they've messed up with the leak, but if elaborate marketing, it's worked!

    Yep I also missed it but if you go to create a new worker you should see it, if you can't I'll send a screenshot of where it is for me.

    Are Pages discontinued? I just deployed two this week as well as a separate worker, you just need to click the tiny tiny CTA saying looking for Pages instead.

    If it's viable and actually solving something is another question.

    On mobile so I'll just list some of my faves out:

    Breaking Taps
    Everyday Astronaut

    Tech Altar

    Wendover
    Minute Physics
    Not just bikes
    Polymatter
    Practical Engineering & Practical Construction
    Real Engineering
    Thomas Flight
    TLDR news

    And I'll add that I feel more confident that if I lose access to YouTube (seems more and more likely without using the official app) I'll be pretty content with just nebula and maybe it wouldn't be so bad, I rate it highly.

    Main thing missing imo is financial creators but I presume it's because their audiences are so easily monetized there is less incentive.

    Depending on what I'm running but for work I use my provided MacBook 14 inch I run it open on a stand as my 'side/spare' monitor.

    My main monitor is a 32 inch 4k display, mostly run two windows side by side, tall enough that I find I get great coverage for the kinda work I do.

    Did have a 3rd but found I didn't need it since the 32inch is essentially two displays, at least I use it that way.

    MacBook being open means I can use the mic, cam and fingerprint reader for password manager etc.

    Found the closing remarks particularly interesting.

    Found the closing remarks particularly interesting.

    If stealing in-game gold is considered theft as a legal precedent, then what does this mean for other UK-based hackers for other games? If in-game items have value and are not just packets of valueless data, does this throw a curveball into the 'are loot boxes gambling' debate within UK institutions? This court case may very well be the gift that keeps on giving over the next few years.

    I really enjoyed the build creation especially with the addition of heroes (NPCs that you could also specify the build and attributes) you had full control of all 8 skills on your bar.

    You could theory craft some awesome combos depending on what you were up against, since there are thousands of skills and you could have two professions (minor & major) the options are almost endless.

    Just found this sheet from Reddit that shows the number of skill combinations. Kinda insane haha.

    This meant there were tons of nefs when campaigns came out as people thought of crazy combos, check out 55hp monk as an og example.

    GW2 really reduced this (presuming because it was a nightmare in the original game for the devs) but it was a part I really loved thinking about and coming up with solutions to difficult areas/foes etc.

    I occasionally jump onto GW1 and play a few missions just for the nostalgia, really excited to see some life brought into it again, I was never taken by 2 in the same way.

    There are sand based heat batteries that work on the same idea, using sand to store heat energy. They look promising for private property use. Store excess solar during the day, release it at night as heating directly, interesting stuff for sure.

    No association but since you asked; these guys break some of the concepts down to layman's terms and talk a lot about being realistic in the modern world, saying that they're imperfect and have made mistakes before. Take everything with a grain of salt (in this space and any other really).

    They have YouTube, podcast and some good articles/resources on the website.
