#haaretz / Holocaust Researchers to Yad Vashem: Condemn the Public Discourse in Israel Calling for Genocide
[…] About 50 Holocaust researchers from Israel and abroad, whostudy the Holocaust and genocide, appealed today (Wednesday) to the chairman of Yad Vashem, Danny Dayan, demanding that he voice "an unambiguous moral opinion" condemning "the public discourse calling for destruction and the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza."
[…] The letter is signed by researchers from Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University, Haifa University, and Ben Gurion University, including Eva Illouz, Daniel Blatman, Omer Bartov, Rivka Brot, Amos Goldberg, Ariel Hirschfeld, Yehiam Weitz, Moshe Zimmerman, Moshe Zuckerman, Dalia Ofer, and Avraham Ronen.
The fact that Yad Vashem has been quite so far says everything.
50 Holocaust Researchers Ask Yad Vashem to Condemn Israeli Public Discourse Calling for Genocide in Gaza
The 'incitement to extermination' heard in the words of Israeli officials and personalities 'can reach the stage of genocide,' the researches say. They're calling on Yad Vashem to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust
To be fair, every studio is 2 bombs away from bankruptcy, hell MeMeMe games shut down even though they didn’t make a single bad game since shadow tactics. Both gacha and live service are constant cashflows that keep a company alive during hard times, just like Final Fantasy XIV kept Square going, and granblue is keeping Cygames going while they invest the surplus on more prestige games.

Overview:
Battery as a Service, at its core, represents a paradigm shift in the way batteries are utilized and managed. Unlike traditional models where end-users own and maintain their energy storage systems, BaaS introduces a subscription-based approach. In this setup, customers pay for the services and performance of the battery, while the responsibility of maintenance, upgrades, and eventual disposal lies with the service provider. This approach significantly lowers the barriers to entry for businesses and individuals looking to adopt energy storage solutions.
Drivers:
Several key drivers fuel the rapid expansion of the BaaS market. The foremost is the escalating demand for sustainable energy solutions. With the global emphasis on reducing carbon footprints, BaaS offers an attractive proposition for integrating renewable energy sources into the grid. Additionally, the flexibility and scalability of BaaS make it a compelling choice for businesses seeking reliable and cost-effective energy storage without the capital-intensive investment of owning a battery system. Furthermore, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is a crucial driver, as BaaS becomes a pivotal enabler for overcoming challenges related to EV battery management, charging infrastructure, and overall grid integration.
Restraints:
While the BaaS market is on an upward trajectory, it is not without challenges. Concerns related to data security and privacy are among the primary restraints. As BaaS involves the continuous monitoring of battery performance, there is a need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive information. Moreover, the market faces regulatory hurdles and uncertainties, with different regions grappling to establish clear frameworks for BaaS operations. Addressing these concerns will be essential for the widespread adoption of BaaS solutions.
Growth Factors:
The growth of the BaaS market is buoyed by several factors that contribute to its attractiveness. The modular and scalable nature of BaaS allows for easy integration into existing infrastructure, facilitating a seamless transition to cleaner energy solutions. Additionally, advancements in battery technologies, such as improved energy density and longer lifespan, enhance the overall performance of BaaS offerings. The potential for cost savings is another significant growth factor, as BaaS eliminates the need for upfront capital investments, making energy storage accessible to a broader audience.
Outlook:
As the BaaS market continues to evolve, it is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of energy storage. The ongoing research and development in battery technologies, coupled with supportive regulatory frameworks, will likely propel BaaS into mainstream adoption. The market's success hinges on addressing challenges effectively while capitalizing on the numerous opportunities presented by the growing demand for sustainable and efficient energy solutions. Battery as a Service is not just a market trend; it's a transformative force driving the transition towards a greener and more resilient energy landscape.

The lightest, this makes makes me think, what actually constitutes a gaming laptop, I have an old Intel 530 laptop, I can play Abe’s Oddysee on it, and probably fallout, which makes it a gaming laptop, why do gamers chase the latest hardware when for mere cents they can get a good experience, an experience which was a dream to many.
It’s just marketing terms and they carry zero weight (lol) or reasoning anymore. Best to ignore anything a company says and just look at the hardware and its use case. Companies will continue to lie to consumers and nothing will change that
According to Engadget’s coverage of the first model with the touchscreen case, the case mostly just lets you use functionality from the app that goes with the earbuds without actually going into the app. I don’t use the apps for my earbuds or headphones, so I can’t say how useful quicker access to their functionality would be.
What I miss most in mastodon is that people don't showcase many of their recent articles and discoveries compared to X. Yet, it is a fun and effective way of keeping my reading up to date. Does anyone have a trick to get around this?

Utah legislators want to pass a new law by claiming librarians are distributing porn and they want librarians to be rounded up and sent to jail for having books like “The Bluest Eye” and “Forever”
That’s actually pretty awesome. Bluetooth speakers are getting to the point where new features aren’t really being released, so features like this actually helps a brand stand apart.
