Serious question - and this is coming from someone who’s used a handful from Bulma to Bootstrap to Foundation… all the way back to 960.gs - with today’s robust state of CSS, what is the advantage to a traditional framework in 2026? What’s the use case?
I thought she was terrible out of context in the trailers.
In the show, we’re only two episodes in and she’s absolutely top tier Captain material.
You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile.

Honestly this is smart for Ford. The weak spot of an EV pickup in the American market is towing, and a gasoline range extender solves this issue while keeping most of the benefits.
Now, if they can market it effectively is another question.
Xbox is just a subscription rental business at this point, Microsoft doesn’t seem interested in gaming outside of that.
Such a shame. I like Ford in general, but I’m happy with a Hyundai or Kia as well. Would consider GM if they would allow me to bring my own tech to the table (CarPlay / Android Auto).
Ah yes, the Microsoft Dreamcast controller.
Is it weird that I hope it’s set in the 32nd century? I want the timeline pushed forward, and to be honest I like the tech.
Valve isn’t getting acquired any time soon. They’re a small-ish group that basically gets 30% of nearly every PC game sold. They’re private, so finances aren’t published, but I have a hunch they have a healthy amount of cash on hand to do whatever the fuck they want for decades, and they might in fact be closer to the size of those mega corps.
Considering he helped create Windows while working at Microsoft, and allegedly left due to the direction it was going, yes.
Sounds like Tuesday in Los Angeles…
Fair. It’s nothing special, just a quick lazy print with some acrylic markers for the nacelles. I wanted to see how it would turn out, wasn’t going for display quality, but for a toy around the house I’m happy with how it turned out. Lego figure for scale. It’s a little smaller than the Ent D - maybe $3 of material?
Look, I code websites and apps and I know nothing about game dev. I dabble. But I don’t see any reason why an informed indie dev or studio would choose Unity over Godot at this point after what they tried to pull a few years ago.
Unreal is a different beast, but the versatility of Godot has been proven at this point and is on full display in this showcase, and from my uneducated standpoint seems to hold its own vs Unity’s offerings.
I’m still learning, but I don’t see it being more than 500g if you were to print it yourself. Keep in mind a 3D print is going to have about a 15% infill, where the Legos are solid plastic, so the Lego version will use more raw materials and be heavier by nature.
1kg of good quality PLA or PETG can be had on Amazon for about $13 on sale, definitely under $20. So, you’re using maybe $6-$10 USD of raw plastic?
Keep in mind you either need to sand and paint it, or use multiple colors to get something “good” looking, but for my Akira class I just printed it grey and used some acrylic paint markers to do some quick details. I’m lazy, so mine looks like crap up close, but from a distance it looks alright on my shelf, and it’s cheap enough that my 5 year old can grab it and play spaceship with no stress on my end.
(Edit: I looked at a few models that are roughly the same size as the Lego one. I’m seeing material estimates ranging from 550g to 1kg, so I wasn’t too far off)
I love Lego. I played with them often as a kid, and I love sharing the Lego games with my son, had season passes to legoland, and appreciate the humor they add into everything now of days. The accessories for the TNG crew are a perfect showcase of this.
With that said, yeah, the Lego Ent D is slightly less expensive than my multi-color 3D printer, and I’m more than happy with the Akira Class I printed a month ago. Maybe I’ll print the Enterprise D in the next few days to celebrate.
Pokémon Let’s Go [Eevee / Pikachu] can be played with a single joycon vertical in one hand. They designed it to be played with their Pokéball controller, accidentally making it super accessible.
I would argue grid, :has(), var(), and native nesting have been just as important steps forward.
Running the version that boots into big picture with a Radeon card has been fantastic, however the Nvidia desktop version has left a sour taste in my mouth.
And here I am still very happy with my $350 steam deck purchase and 2tb ssd upgrade. 🤷♂️
Just want to point out that the key ring is more expensive than the device itself…
