Working overseas sometimes feels like Apple TV+ Show "Severance". You live one life abroad (work, friends, even “new” families), while the other life back home fades into memory. The danger isn’t the distance; it is forgetting which life is real.

The Philippines feels like a school where the bully skips class, steals lunches and class funds, roams the halls, and goes into a raging fit when questioned. The teachers do nothing because they are scared of the gang waiting outside.

Should Trump decide to align himself with Putin fully, it raises critical questions about the future of US military bases in countries that were once its allies.

I've been using the Meta Quest 3S for work lately, and having three screens that I can resize is a total game changer. Seriously, I don't miss any small details now.

Governments tax things that are harmful to our health, so why not tax data? Much of the data stored in energy-intensive, space-consuming, rare-earth material-depleting data centers is often just junk. A data tax will benefit the environment by reducing these centers and diminish the online trolls.

This is honestly the best VR game I've played. The opening sequence feels like it’s straight out of War of the Worlds!

Finally took the plunge and got the Meta Quest 3S. The immersion is just wild! I'm super happy with this device, even though the visuals and Fresnel lenses aren’t as good as the Quest 3. But honestly, when you’re in the zone, those little issues kind of melt away.

I think it's high time to tax data. Data centers consume vast amounts of energy. Reducing the production and storage of data could lower global energy usage and reduce carbon footprint.

Around 20% of Ireland’s energy consumption goes to data centres, it’s not exceptional. Europe needs a sustainable data centre strategy, or it risks stalling our modern economy.

I am considering getting a Meta Quest 3S, but I have reservations about its lower-resolution display and the Fresnel lenses.

I strongly believe that Sony would be a much better fit to acquire Ubisoft than Tencent. This move could lead to more creative freedom and innovation within the gaming industry, benefiting both developers and players alike.
The last time Sony was worth this much on the stock market, Bill Clinton was president and the PlayStation 2 was about to debut on American store shelves.

$200 million after taxes is still a huge payday to daydream about.
The Mega Millions jackpot climbed to $670 million—the fifth biggest lottery prize of the year so far—after no tickets matched all six numbers drawn on Tuesday night, although the eventual winner will take home a much smaller amount after paying their taxes.

Environmental groups oppose the construction of coastline defense projects by the DPWH citing environmental impact of these. What could be the future environmental impact of rising seas if these projects were not undertaken?
Climate warming projections say the oceans will rise 40 to 70 centimeters by the end of the century. Shorelines will push back a meter for each centimeter of rise. Time for DENR to order up a whole lot more dolomite for Manila. A billion pesos or two should do the job.

You won't believe how much Gabriel Leone looks like Ayrton Senna when he wears sunglasses. Senna on Netflix is honestly one of the best shows I've seen about Senna, racing, and Formula 1 in a long time. The racing sequences are so thrilling you need to watch them on a big TV for the full experience!
