The lack of shielding for mainline TIEs was also only partly about saving money and maintaining performance specs. Similar to how normal police cars aren’t particularly armored up, the escalatory implications were obvious and sufficiently feared by the populations TIEs typically patrolled.
No, the TIE is no match for Rebel fighters. So what? The Empire's military is a thousand times bigger, or more. It's not that the Imperials don't care about their pilots, or have so many that casualties are irrelevant. It is that dogfighting X-Wings never occurred to anyone as a requirement.

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

This looks amazing and is a technical feat, but even with the likes of Spielberg and a best-selling novel “writing the prompts” Ready Player One was pretty tepidly received. This stuff feels dead without an artist at the wheel. It pales in comparison to the original: m.youtube.com/watch?v=HDXY...

The interesting question is what comes next? My suspicion is that physical, face-to-face presence is going to skyrocket in value, while anything based on digital-only presence will collapse. Probably going to be a good run for elite social institutions.

The Titans are expected to hire Dave Borgonzi as linebackers coach, per source.
The brother of Tennessee GM Mike Borgonzi, Dave has been a highly respected assistant for years. Now he teams up with Robert Saleh, Gus Bradley and company in Tennessee.

CNBC: What about the horrific conditions in DHS detention centers? Do they need to be looked at?
REP. JASON SMITH: I'm sure those conditions never existed under Biden or Obama

The El Paso TFR issued by the FAA even grounds medivac flights. NO EXCEPTIONS. Any flight operating in the area may be deemed hostile and “the United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft.”
Anyone needing a lifeline flight to a hospital or outside El Paso will die.

A sudden 10 day closure of airspace in a major US city like El Paso should be THE STORY, with nothing else getting any air time until at minimum someone within the US government says what’s happening and why.
It barely even registers on CNN’s site. It’s literally the last item before the page ends.
