@MKBHD Which camera did they use?

The outline of the window in the corner makes this one of the sickest photos I've ever seen

From the first aircraft to Apollo took roughly the same amount of time as from Apollo to the Artemis rocket.

From the Chapter 3 of my book “The Human Side of B2B Sales”: Translating Value Across Roles One of the most useful skills in B2B sales is translation, not language, but incentives. The same solution can be explained differently depending on the listener. For operations: “Reduces downtime and manual work.” For finance: “Creates predictable operational costs.” For IT: “Integrates with existing infrastructure.” For leadership: “Improves reliability across the organization.” The product does not change. The narrative does. This ability to translate value across roles is often what allows projects to move through organizations smoothly. A common mistake is using the same presentation for every stakeholder. It feels efficient, but it ignores incentive differences. When people hear information that does not relate to their responsibilities, they disengage. A more effective approach is modular communication: short, relevant explanations tailored to each role. a.co/d/09qNkgpz

Inside every company there are three types of people: The champion. The skeptic. The decision maker. Understanding these roles often matters more than your product.

This and much more is what i talk in my book: a.co/d/0fxmWr19

A contact answers emails. A problem owner wants the problem gone. Took me years to understand the difference. Most deals stall because we talk to the first, not the second.

Now my book available as paperback in Amazon. Get it as a present for your friend or for yourself. a.co/d/020s5lQt

This is one of the topics in my book: a.co/d/00oBmXMr

One internal champion inside a company can move your deal faster than any sales presentation. Find the person who says: “I think we should work with them.”

@ilyamiskov True

This GUI had a soul in it. I miss it dearly.

@Kate22612088522 @igorsushko @IlvesToomas Please don’t patronise your biggest supporters and helpers. We are not your enemy.

@GenVagula @igorsushko @IlvesToomas Also, you are answering to an American who has Ukrainian roots, not an actual Ukrainian in Ukraine - but in your arrogance you literally threatened a nation defending from a genocide. I hope you are proud of yourself for that

@igorsushko Please. We respect Ukranians a lot and we can only imagine how hard it has been to fight off the orcs. But please don’t start to act arrogantly and self destructivly. That is not helping your cause.

If the Baltic states want help when Russia invades (or better yet prevent that from ever happening), now is the time to sign a mutual defense alliance with Ukraine - the only nation that knows how to fight Russia. That means sending your troops to Ukraine now. Something you should've done a long time ago. Until this happens, North Korea is a better ally to Russia than you are to Ukraine. Whether NATO actually sends troops to defend the Baltics remains an open question and I'm skeptical. Low munitions stockpiles that will last a few weeks and zero practical know-how to counter Russian drones.

@Peyton_455 Thnx! For the last 20 years :) just did not have time or will to put it all together.

@nexta_tv Have you tried AI translation? 🤔

Thousands of Porsches are stranded on an island with donkeys Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, ships carrying German cars avoided the Strait of Hormuz and unloaded them on Kenya’s Lamu Island, Bild reports. More than 4,000 Porsche and Volkswagen vehicles have already piled up there — in a place where locals mostly get around by лодки and donkeys. Another 5,000 cars could arrive soon. Shipping in the region is starting to unravel, as vessels reroute on the fly, losing time and money. The crisis is hitting more than just the auto industry. Supplies of oil, helium, and even food are at risk — the Strait of Hormuz is turning into one of the ключевых pressure points of the global economy.

@MykhailoRohoza Why you are spreading russian propaganda and panic? All is good in Est.

There are growing concerns that Russia could attack the Baltic states within the next 1–2 months. Preparations for a potential invasion of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are reportedly in their final stages. A scenario similar to Ukraine in 2014 is also being discussed — starting with information operations and internal destabilization, followed by possible military action. We already understand that Russia is preparing for escalation. But here’s what’s happening inside the potential target countries: • Social media groups have appeared calling for autonomy in Estonia’s Narva region and the broader Ida-Viru area. • They are sharing a “flag,” a “national anthem,” and even mock plans for a “militia.” • Many posts frame this as “protecting Russian identity.” • Authorities have warned that participation in such activities could lead to criminal charges. Meanwhile, amid growing public concern, Latvia’s State Security Service chief, Normunds Mežviets, made a stark statement: “They will kill us all.” ❗️Some analysts warn that a Russian offensive against the Baltic states could come as early as May 2026 — echoing what happened in Ukraine in 2022. Notably, similar warnings were published in late 2021, shortly before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At that time, reports that Russia planned to seize large parts of Ukraine — including Kyiv — were widely dismissed. In hindsight, those warnings proved accurate. Now, similar projections are being made again — this time focused on the Baltic region. Whether this is coincidence or a troubling pattern remains to be seen. But one piece of advice for people in these countries is simple: stay alert and be prepared with basic emergency supplies. There are also signs of tightening control inside Russia. Restrictions on mobile internet and platforms like Telegram are increasing. For years, little was done — but now controls are being actively strengthened. This is unlikely about preventing protests — there is little organized opposition left. Instead, it may be part of broader internal preparation. For example, Russia re-established the Moscow and Leningrad military districts in early 2024 — likely to improve mobilization and military administration. Preparation appears to be ongoing and serious. And unfortunately, Ukraine alone may not be able to significantly disrupt it. When a regime feels cornered, its actions can become less predictable — and more dangerous. Yes, the media can sometimes exaggerate threats. But given recent developments, this no longer looks like simple fearmongering. Whether these forecasts come true remains to be seen. But the risk is real. History may one day define this period as the beginning of something much larger. It’s better to be prepared than surprised.

The biggest mistake in B2B sales: Trying to impress the customer. The better strategy: Understand them.
