🎉 New Years Eve Edition - This Geek in Review for 2021-12-31

By goz

Well, it’s the end of 2021. Is it how you imagined it would be? As a product of the late 1900s, it feels weird to be almost a quarter of the way through the 21st century. The technological advances are mind blowing, and just when I think they’re slowing down, we get something great.

Here’s hoping you have a great 2022!

The James Webb Telescope

Big news this week was the launch of the James Webb telescope. In the making for 30 years, the project will allow scientists to see almost to the big bang, and have a secondary mission of looking for exoplanets. What makes the telescope special is that it will be set in space about a million miles from earth. This makes it great for looking into space, but terrible for maintenance. Basically, if something breaks, it stays broke.

I totally understand doing things out of spite, but blowing up a Tesla Model S because of a $22,000 repair bill is outside of even my comfort level. The owner was looking at a batter replacement for his 8 year old Tesla Model S, and chose to blow it up instead of paying.

I don’t think that’s going to hurt anyone but himself. Maybe he’s in to that.
