AI-generated podcast — the hosts and voices are synthetic, not real people. Made with AI by Demades.

An AI-generated companion to Wube's Friday Facts #447 — "Factorio that you
can touch" — broken down: what Pard, Jarosław and Fearghall announced, the
design reasoning underneath it, and what it means at your desk (and on your
print bed).

No patch this week: Wube and Prusa Research are releasing free 3D-printable
Factorio models — 15 model sets, 65 models, 247 STL files, on Printables
right now. The interesting part is the confession underneath: Factorio's
in-game machines are isometric stage sets — free-floating parts that only
cohere from one camera angle, mining drill variants that don't actually
match, heights squeezed into one tile — so the team had to design models
that look how Factorio looks, not how the assets are. Plus the support-free
splitting philosophy, the biters that print upside down with color-matched
snap-on shells, and why the whole thing is free instead of a collector's
item.

26.19 was not really written for you, and Riot say so in the first paragraph.
The Worlds patch is the one after this, so this is the setup patch: find
fringe picks that could show up at a tournament, nudge them up, knock down a
couple of meta outliers — and, in brackets, "and also Nasus."

We lead with the thread you cannot see reading the notes top to bottom,
because it is spread across three champions in alphabetical order: Aatrox,
Kha'Zix and Vi are all changed this patch because of Sundered Sky, an item
that is not in it. Two champions compensated for losing it, one finally
nerfable without it. Then Lucian, whose Vigilance cut and Q buff transfer
power from bot lane to mid rather than nerfing him; the rank-flattened Aatrox
W and Aurora R, where rank one improves and max rank does not move at all;
Rumble and Ryze, each nerfed on the part that rewards mastery and paid back on
the part everyone gets free; the top-lane Teleport buff that sits in tension
with its own justification; the World Atlas change that lives entirely before
the item finishes; and Classic, where the first Council poll's published
percentages turned into three real items — and where Fiora is buffed on the
Rift and nerfed in Classic in the same patch.

An AI-generated companion to Wube's Friday Facts #446 — "An ARM and a
Frame" — broken down: what raiguard and Sanqui announced, the engineering
reasoning underneath it, and what it means at your desk.

Factorio now has a native ARM64 Linux build — on Valve's Steam Frame, the
Raspberry Pi, and Apple Silicon MacBooks running Asahi Linux. The hard part
was never the headset: it was x86-to-ARM64 cross-compilation (target triple,
sysroot via debootstrap, the Mold linker), an OpenSSL build that fought back,
a global steamrt 1.0 → 4.0 switch that moved every Linux player at once, and
the glibc mismatches that killed the first boots. Plus the benchmarks — about
11% faster than FEX on the Frame, 28% faster than box64 on a Pi 5, 35% faster
than FEX on an M1 Pro — the LAN party that produced no cross-architecture
desyncs, and why the headless build may be the sleeper here.

Path of Exile 2's 0.5.5c is a cleanup patch — seventeen lines, almost all bug
fixes, no balance section. But three of them should change what some players
do tonight.

In this episode:
• Ritual: Deferred Items could re-price on every Favour reroll. Fixed — and
what that does to the defer-then-reroll loop.
• Trial of Chaos: tier two of Wager of Chaos was paying +1 minimum rewards
instead of +2. Time to re-run that decision.
• Campaign: you must now be present when the boss dies to pick up the Origin
Spark, Origin Cradle and Crisis Fragments, plus the new Boat Charter gate
on the Act 4 Islands.
• Sleepers: Rakkar and Tor Gul parry fixes, Tavakai vs minions, Runesmithing
Knowledge for migrated SSF and dead Hardcore characters, Farrow and
Expedition Stash Tabs.

A practical deep dive into customer relationship management systems—what they actually are, how they work, and why most implementations fail. Three practitioners with decades of combined experience break down the core objects (contacts, companies, deals, activities), explain the pipeline as both a sales tool and forecasting mechanism, and confront the real reason CRMs succeed or fail: adoption and data quality. The episode cuts through vendor hype to explain what small businesses actually need versus what they're sold, why reps resist data entry and how to fix it, and the unglamorous truth that clean data matters more than any feature.

Path of Exile 2's Forbidden Rites league is a week old, and 0.5.5b just
landed. This is the week-one breakdown of the whole 0.5.5 update: what
changed, what ten hotfixes and 0.5.5b quietly corrected, and which changes
should change what you do tonight.

In this episode:
• The Trial of Chaos rework: leave and resume runs, a reward chest every room,
Currency-and-Soul-Core-only payouts, lighter modifiers, and the new
continue-and-wager layer.
• Soul Cores move from "chance to" ailments to "Magnitude", many gain a
Limit of 1, and the attribute-conversion cores double.
• Expedition goes core, and why 0.5.5b's "Expedition could not spawn
naturally in Endgame" fix makes it the real Expedition launch.
• The Forbidden Rites campaign Ritual boss chains, Sacred Blooms, and the
Invigorated Sacrifices Tribute fix.
• Endgame tuning: Arbiter resistances, Delirium fog spread, Azmeri spirits.
• Sleepers from the bug list, plus one PoE1 note from 3.29.3b.

Patch 26.18 is a patch of scalpels. Almost nothing in it simply nerfs a
champion — instead it separates one version of a champion from another and
hits only the one causing the problem: Cassiopeia in pro versus Cassiopeia in
your games, Seraphine bot versus Seraphine support, AD Malzahar versus AP
Malzahar.

We lead with the number we think is the most interesting thing Riot shipped
this week: Cassiopeia's Q trades 10 flat damage for +10 percentage points of
AP ratio, and her R trades 25 flat for +25 points — two different abilities
whose changes both cancel out at exactly 100 ability power. That is a chosen
pivot, not a coincidence, and it is how you nerf a champion in pro without
nerfing her in solo queue. Then Seraphine's flattened E cooldown (the
sharpest role-split in the patch), Zeri nerfed on a forecast rather than a
result, the Nautilus and Bard pro-support tax, Classic's five returning
Demacians, and the first Council poll — where Riot published the actual
percentages and the counting rules.

Marie Curie's story is usually told as a triumph of genius, but the real work was far messier and more collaborative than the legend suggests. This episode unpacks how a Polish girl locked out of universities ended up measuring invisible rays, hauling tons of pitchblende through a leaky shed for four years, and isolating radium one crystallization at a time—while her contributions were nearly erased from the first Nobel Prize, and her notebooks remain too radioactive to touch. The hosts examine what she knew about the danger, who else was in the room, and why the unglamorous version of her story—the grinding, the collaborations, the cost—is actually more remarkable than the halo.

Three hosts examine whether Abraham Lincoln deserves his place as America's greatest president by testing the myth against the historical record. They trace his journey from a one-room cabin in Kentucky through his early failures as a lawyer and politician, then follow the arc that led him to the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment. The episode challenges the sanitized version of Lincoln as a moral saint, instead finding a more complex figure: a man battling depression who suspended civil liberties during wartime, yet still pushed slavery into permanent constitutional abolition when he could have stopped at tactical victory. What emerges is not a flawless hero, but a person whose personal conviction and political duty ultimately pointed the same direction.
