A breathtaking view of Saturn captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft! 😍

@Alphacat @Airbnb @AirbnbHelp Was this through PayPal by any chance? Genuinely wondering if there’s a vulnerability in Airbnb’s system

[Stuart Lambon @stuart_lambon]

@Alphacat @Airbnb @AirbnbHelp I had exactly the same situation and response from their support

[Stuart Lambon @stuart_lambon]

@TonyAtkinsTV @PayPal @Airbnb I’ve literally just had exactly the same thing—good to know I’m not alone. Genuinely wondering whether there’s some severe bug in Airbnb’s system that can allow this as I don’t know how this can happen

20 years ago we released Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas.

The original plan was for the 3 cities to be on separate maps. The player would travel between the cities using trains and planes.
(Gta 1 and 2 also had three cities on separate maps)

Memory was very tight on the ps2 and with separate maps, the other cities’ skyline models wouldn’t have to be in memory.

It would also make it easier to have different police/ambulance/firetrucks for each city. Different pickups, weather types etc.

It would also be easier to contain the player until it was time for the next city.

It would also make it easier to organize the models on the DVD city-by-city which would help the streaming.

Just before the artists started working on the three maps, we had a final meeting at R* North in which we changed our minds and decided to go for a big map after all.

We still ended up doing city-specific pickups, police cars and weather.

Happy birthday San Andreas. You turned out all right.

This probably the best use of AI I have seen

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

The spacecraft will now travel past Mars, using the planet’s gravity to gain the velocity needed to reach Jupiter’s moon Europa by 2030

This is mad

Tuesday’s album, “Freewheelin’” is so bloody good. I’ve been listening to it for about 20 years and I’ll never get bored.

The weather is so weird at the moment, on the south coast this week it’s expected to be between 10–24° 👀

A new record: 19 people in space aboard four different spacecraft.

With the launch of the Russian "Soyuz MS-26," the number of people in space has reached a historic high!

On the ISS, there are 9 cosmonauts and astronauts, on the Chinese Tiangong station — 3 taikonauts, on the "Soyuz MS-26" — 2 cosmonauts and 1 astronaut, and on the private Crew Dragon — 4 commercial astronauts.

A total of 19 people!

Another problem solved beyond the heliosphere ✅

The @NASAVoyager team has mitigated an issue with Voyager 1's thruster's, which keep the spacecraft pointed at and able to communicate with Earth.

The solution required some creative engineering: https://t.co/zTc8NE3CbS

@Kathy_Darling It really should be something controlled by the user, I’ve always thought a browser setting would be such a better idea. Having these popups is just the worst. Partly due to bad design and user experience and also due to the fact that most people just blindly click through anyway

New Lloyds Bank identity is looking good. Definitely makes the app look a little more up to date
