I really like my Presonus speakers. They sound decent! But they take up a lot of space and have lots of wires. I'd love something in a soundbar form factor and am willing to take a small hit in driver size and stereo separation for it. But not a cheap plastic box.

The Vergecast of October 31. («God will be declared by a panel of experts») has a bit funny and very good discussion of the bizarre joint press release between Microsoft and OpenAI and the insanity of the panel that is to verify if AGI has been achieved or not.

The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...
