I grabbed an audio receiver to get Dolby Atmos in my living room, and I’ve been very happy with that decision. A receiver was the only way I could get all of these speakers set up, so there wasn’t really any other choice I could’ve made.

I also used my room correction software to adjust the volume on my speakers automatically, and I recommend doing that as soon as you hook everything up. While that’s good to…

SpaceX + xAI integration/merger will power humanity’s first Dyson swarm orbital solar-powered AI data centers. Orbital/space-based compute is a no-brainer because of constant sunlight and vacuum cooling—no terrestrial energy or land constraints. Elon Musk could not discuss the timeline because SpaceX is under a quiet period. Plans are advancing fast. Lunar mass drivers for launching/ manufacturing AI infrastructure possible in ~10 years. This positions SpaceX as the ultimate hyper-hyper scaler for AI, bypassing all ground-based bottlenecks. Moon base + people on Mars in ~10 years. AI solving major problems (longevity, back pain, deficits, de-extinction, etc.). Projected Timeline for SpaceX Orbital…
