Sort of. HMD licenses the Nokia name from the broader Nokia business and kept a lot of the old c-suite. Manufacturing is owned by a subsidiary of Foxconn.

Pretty sure they’re referring to the sale of Nokia’s phone division to Microsoft in the mid-2010s. It’s since been bought back and is in the process of renaming to HMD.

Cirrus Logic GD5428.

If it’s repeating answers it gave to other users that’s a hell of a security risk.

EDIT: I just tried it.

Can’t take it home, but I’m currently testing out the 3D printers at my local. They also have a 3D scanner.

I grew up in the '80s. I was expecting either nuclear annihilation or cities on the moon.

It’s the fourth game in the X series. Originally named after the player’s ship in the first game, the X-Shuttle. X being short for experimental.

Regarding “Foundations”, from the Release Q&A

Why is the game called X4: Foundations?
Owen: I think some people get confused because of the two different uses of the word foundations. I think some people maybe think foundation like a corporation or a charity, while we’re more thinking of the building foundation. Something we build off and what the races in the universe are building off. They’re still recovering from all the gates shut down and they’re finally getting on their feet.
Bernd: It’s funny, how we choose names. It was not not long before the presentation actually that we had a long list of possible names and some people like some, but there was no name that everybody liked. Once that we found this name, everybody seemed to like it. Partially for different reasons. But what I like about the names for X-games is always that they leave some things to interpretation just like the X itself. If the game stands for anything, then it stands for the freedom and that the game can be different things for different people.

It makes no difference. With Mondays off, Tuesday becomes the new Monday. Fridays off means Thursday starts feeling like Friday.

They are. T&F recently cut a deal with Microsoft. Without author’s consent, of course.

I’m fairly sure a few others have too, but that’s the only article I could find quickly.

Too late

Strictly speaking this is a subset of what the food industry calls reformulation. They’ll also reformulate a product for other reasons (eg to reduce sugar/fat/salt or add a vitamin so they can make a health claim, tweak the flavour if it isn’t performing well, etc) but reducing materials and manufacturing costs is a big part of it. Maybe we can coin the term “deformulation”.

Your description made me think of The Golden Palominos.

.mod files for music. 3-5mins+ of music a piece with a storage footprint in the KB range. Mostly free, tons available online. Check out Mod archive for an easy web interface or ZXTune if you’re on android.

I don’t know how to feel about this.

I have had this happen. Mostly with weird, old, or cheap (or some combination thereof) hardware. Like sometimes the connection will hitch for a moment then three or four letters will come out backwards. Couldn’t say for sure what the cause is but I suspect either the controller in the board itself is jank, or there’s some kind of protocol / buffer mismatch. I have no solution, but it’s not just you.

Not sure it strictly counts as Grand Strategy as it’s more of a sandbox, but X4 might be up your alley on the sci-fi front. Build a galaxy spanning empire from a single ship; complete missions, mine, trade, explore. You -can- fly the ships, but you don’t have to. You can just sit in a station issuing orders.

Huh. That actually sounds familiar now that you write it out in full. I guess we’re both right.

Maybe that’s the policy at some stores, but according to the ACCC, it has to be sold at the cheaper price, or not sold at all.
