A little over 5 hours til they flip the switch. Hoping that we will soon have over unity fusion that's continuous and viable. We shall shortly find out. Below's going to be a live event.

Where did you find that, Wallace? Is it an animated countdown clock?

I found it in the YouTube comments, but they said to go to 38:57.
I only had to watch for that point to see the countdown for 10 at 39:55.

Thank you, Wallace. So it's already happened. I got tired of watching that video because of the poor sound quality and I don't understand German which they spoke quite a bit. I did go to that spot on the video. :jumpclap

The video recording of live event was more boring than I wished. Only turned it on for less then 1 second (was hoping for continuous fusion); oh well.
