  • I am lucky enough to have both the PS5 and the Xbox and personally find very little to pick out between them. I prefer XB controller but think the PS5 one is better quality with the haptic feedback. I love Game Pass and have found tremendous value in it, more so than in PlayStations version though PS still manage to get exclusives.

    Mind you the way some of these articles sound is that the whole Xbox gaming division is on its knees and doesn’t sell a machine or make a penny.



  • Misleading title from that news outlet as what he said was this

    “The terms of Colapinto’s loan makes him an Alpine driver, but Vowles has confirmed that at some point in the future, he will return to the Grove-based squad.

    The important part, the main thing is this, he is an Alpine driver for a number of years," Vowles told select media including.

    Their choice, fundamentally, is to choose what they want from that, and after that, I hope he comes back to Williams”












  • I read a variation of this years ago though the author of the one I read may have embellished it somewhat.

    ‘Yes, Nikola Tesla demonstrated wireless power transmission, but not quite in the way people often imagine.

    In 1899, during his experiments in Colorado Springs, Tesla managed to wirelessly light incandescent lamps over a short distance (about 25 miles is sometimes claimed) using resonant inductive coupling. He used a large Tesla coil to create high-voltage electrical fields, which could transfer energy through the air. Some reports suggest that he successfully powered a bank of light bulbs several miles away, though there is no definitive proof.

    Tesla’s ultimate vision was Wardenclyffe Tower, a massive structure designed to transmit electricity wirelessly across vast distances. However, the project was never completed due to financial issues and skepticism from investors like J.P. Morgan.

    So while Tesla did achieve wireless power transfer over short distances, the idea of lighting bulbs miles away in a practical, controlled manner remains largely theoretical.’
