An amazing (and massive) new No Man's Sky update just dropped (for free) - No Man's Sky Voyagers 6.0. A Star Citizen like, liveable new Corvette ship tier has been introduced. You craft it yourself, fly with a friend crew (if you like), explore far and wide.

As mentioned in the deep dive video, it uses new tech simultaneously being developed for both No Man's Sky and the forthcoming Light No Fire.

This is the 49th major update to No Man's Sky across these nine years (total updates so far: 251 -- all free).

Well, this was a surprise. Decided to run a simple LAN ping test between two of my access points, and the results were not what I expected.

Contender 1: The "mighty" Ubiquiti UniFi AC Lite
Contender 2: The tiny MikroTik mAP Lite

The winner? By a long shot, the MikroTik! It showed much better stability and lower latency.

The Stats:

- MikroTik: Avg 8.2ms / Jitter 10ms

- Ubiquiti: Avg 15.4ms / Jitter 32.1ms

Goes to show that size isn't everything in the world of networking.

I don't own a device from MikroTik yet, but followed reports by tech people who swear by the price / performance / quality ratio of this devices.

My next Wi-Fi router will most definitely be MikroTik. Same with my next managed switch that will have 2.5 Gbit

Funny seeing #Nintendo with their new patents filed for this odd #Switch 'crank' that just makes me think of the cute yellow #Playdate console!

"In the first embodiment, the crank features a rotary disc (#803), which is tracked by the mouse sensor (172) through a window (807). Two magnets (511 & 512) secure the attachment."

Interesting to see, at least

Nintendo will raise the price of its original Switch console in the U.S. beginning Sunday, the company said Friday in a statement posted to its website. Nintendo attributed the changes to "market conditions.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/02/tech/nintendo-us-pricing-original-switch-hardware/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #nintendo #us #trade #tariffs #switch #videogames

Microsoft "Using AI is no longer optional.' 👈

Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.'

By popular demand, a single post to boost global switch day across multiple platforms on February 1st 2025.

For those who can no longer get behind Musk or Meta's new policies and feel like switching (e.g. from #Whatsapp to #Signal, from #Instagram to #Pixelfed or from #X to #Mastodon) I made you some graphics to use freely in communicating with your contacts.

Let’s lead by example 🙂
