R2-D2 Droids may be second-class citizens in the Star Wars universe, but they’re also some of the most important characters in the entire franchise. There’s hardly a hero in the lore of Star Wars who isn’t accompanied by a droid best friend. That trend continues even in recent video games like Star Wars Outlaws and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The irony is that many droids are treated like slaves, and there’s yet to be a droid uprising where they fight for…

Table of Contents Table of Contents A flagship like no other Innovation is slowing A shortcut The RTX 4090 might be the best graphics card Nvidia has ever released, and we may never see a flagship quite on the same level ever again. There’s no doubt the RTX 4090 is extremely powerful, but it’s not raw power alone that made it the flagship to end all flagships.

We still face hard bosses in modern games, but it usually isn’t the entire game that is punishing. There’s an expectation that most people will be able to beat most current and upcoming video games, but not all…

The Real Startup Challenge: Selling, Not BuildingOne of the biggest misconceptions in the startup world is the belief that a great product guarantees success. Many founders focus on two things—building the perfect product and securing funding—assuming that once they achieve both, success will naturally follow.
