The Video Game History Foundation and Software Preservation Network claim that 87% of classic video games (that means games released before 2010) in the US are “critically endangered”. What’s being done to preserve these games? Meta announced that open beta for Roblox on the Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets will launch in the “coming weeks.” Reuters reports that industry sources say Huawei has designed its own 5G chips and is working with China’s SMIC to produce them. SMIC’s N+1 process can make chips with the equivalent performance of 7 nanometer processes.
Domino's Falls to Uber - GDI 4559 starts at 31:45
Domino's pizza talk takes over. Uber will share data on efficiency and incremental sales with Domino's, but won't be making deliveries. Scott put in a Saul Goodman reference. Do you care who delivers you food? So much food talk. Does your delivery space expand and contract? What is your most used delivery service? Did any food help you get through Covid? Did you spend more or less money on food when you were younger? What are your thoughts on tipping?
Starring Tom Merritt, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe.
