Evilstick is a battery operated toy wand that was made by an unknown company. It gained infamy in November of 2014 after it was found that some versions contained...

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.
IOW, revenue from the stock market & VC funding suddenly disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of high rate loans, due to the historically high Russian central bank key rate.
And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.

"Tiling with Three Polygons is Undecidable"
Erik D. Demaine; Stefan Langerman 17 Sep 2024
Abstract
We prove that the following problem is co-RE-complete and thus undecidable: given three simple polygons, is there a tiling of the plane where every tile is an isometry of one of the three polygons (either allowing or forbidding reflections)? This result improves on the best previous construction which requires five polygons.
...
It remains open whether tiling …

I wish I could remember one of the terms for a white guy they hire in Asia (it actually happens enough to merit a term) to pretend to be the boss just because he looks the part.
I'm going to have to look one up so I can throw it out there every time someone uses the term "diversity hire".

turn of the century chinafakes are something else

Useful #shakespeare quote to squirrel away and use over the next four years...
*"What cracker is this same that deafs our ears with this abundance of superfluous breath?"*
The Life & Death of King John, Act 2, scene one.

But in better news today I also finished #Frieren and holy cow that was amazing, can't wait for season 2.

A ★★★★★ review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (2023)
Season 1 When you think the series has reached its peak, when you think you know what's going to happen next, when you think the story can't get any better: it does, and it surprise you in many ways. I'm not really into fantasy/medieval series, specially in anime where it gets a little bit cliche for me. And yet, this has become easily one of my favorites Animes. If you are holding on for this reason, I highly encourage you to watch it.
