China being hacked, green energy?, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#27)
Hardly finding some time to read these days, and almost even harder to write a post… I am in need of holidays. Let’s start: The biggest hack ever? The numbers here are astonishing. Almost one thousand million people’s data being hacked is no joke, and to make things worse, it seems that it was not…

Fusion reactors, Starlink crashes, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#06)
Hitting deadlines like a champ, but now I need to sleep for the whole weekend. A short list of cool stuff I managed to read while sleep deprived: For the jillionth time Futurama is coming back! I honestly liked how the show ended the last time, and I cannot help but think this is another…
