Sony Group reported a surprise 22% improvement in profit after a challenging holiday quarter, raising its full-year outlook on the back of solid demand for its entertainment offerings. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/02/05/companies/sony-ups-profit-outlook/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #sony #videogames #playstation5
Almost 22 years have passed since this photo was taken, in my university-era bedroom.
I had already graduated and I was doing things I truly enjoyed.
I was about to move out, even though nobody knew it (I was taking notes on my Palm about what to pack, but messiness was the norm, so no one got suspicious). I also had a slightly swollen gum, so I was smiling without showing my teeth, and I had mouthwash on the desk.
And that smile was one of mysterious satisfaction, anticipating what was about to happen soon.
Perhaps the most enigmatic Italian smile since the Mona Lisa.

Japan’s TV makers have lost manufacturing leadership to China as the industry commoditized, while companies like Sony have adapted by shifting toward higher-value content and technology. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/02/japan/sony-switches-off-the-tv/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #televisions #sony #tclelectronics #china #bravia #playstation #samsungelectronics #lgelectronics #panasonic #sharp #hitachi #mitsubishielectric #toshiba #honhaiprecisionindustry

Yours truly pitching the tent, or more accurately shoveling snow around the base to stormproof it. The tent is a Hilleberg Kaitum 3 GT, a proper four season tent, but it does lack extended snow flaps on the fly for anchoring in deep snow. Luckily it has been enough to build a low wall of snow against it and make sure all the pole ends are well buried.

For too long, we’ve focused on tech platforms and software but not nearly enough on hardware. Is it time to change that?
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Chris Person for a wide-ranging chat about CES, AI driving up hardware prices, and more!

At some moments I got lucky. Moments like this are extremely rare in the Netherlands. But when the circumstances are right and you're at the right moment on the spot, you can find these unique sceneries Often the sun will melt the rime within an hour or so. Therefore, I took this image just after sunrise. Cold outside, but warm on the inside with this picture. 😊

Voilà une bonne nouvelle : "Cela ouvre la voie au développement de "Custom Firmwares" (CFW), transformer sa console en une puissante machine d'émulation, voire y installer d'autres systèmes comme Linux."
Sécurité PS5 : la faille est totale et Sony ne peut rien y faire !

Willow grouse taking off from its hiding place. Very difficult to spot these fellas in the undergrowth before they flush, and usually you are almost on top of them when they do. Always a proper jump scare.
