The money was to build fabs, which they are still doing - which is costing them most of their money they struggle to afford because their current chips are awful.

Their fabs may be shit too. Hopefully the new ones are better

It's not that I like manuals, it's that I hate automatics randomly shifting and accelerating/slowing down randomly because of it.

It might not be as big an issue in bigger engines cars though, not driven anything bigger than a 1L engine in over a decade.

Looking forward to a direct drive electric car (with customisable acceleration profiles - even better!)

I sometimes wish that studios would sell their cancelled games to smaller studios that could, if they got it cheap touch it up and release them in some form.

Loads of effort is being wasted for no gain

What is their monetisation plan? Currently they don't seem to have anything other than donations?

Is that in a millionaires area or just a normal area?

Better than nothing.

If we have to overbuild green energy to get a reliable supply, use the excess on things like this.

It's also has a directly measurable output (...input?) - I would prefer that money was spent on this rather than carbon offsetting, which is basically a scam.

Picture from a ski holiday in the Dolomites in Italy. The weather made for bad skiing but great photos. They built a restaurant on that view a few years back unfortunately.

I have watched some videos on it, very cool. That said, I pretty sure those photos in the comparison are taken at different times of year?

What do you bet the owning company will suddenly go bankrupt (because all it's assets have strangely been sold for £1 to a new company with the same directors)

It wasn't clear in the article - how much notice did the customers get?

Possibly expansion relief? They get some pretty wild temperature swings.

If it was - Forrest fires apparently make the ground hydrophobic in addition to burning away all of the ground cover. This can make flooding in those areas much worse.

This then washes away soil and makes it even harder for trees etc to grow back.
