    Eric The Tech Guru got a reaction from dogwitch in I will never financially recover from this (SPONSORED)   
    That circular PCB looked similar to an OtterCast in form-factor, can only dream that it might be a Chromecast Audio replacement like that.
     
    Actually, after looking at it a bit more it looks like it has a place for a LiPo battery or something, likely not an OtterCast then but something that's supposed to be portable and puck-shaped.

    Given we see the tilde (~) inside the brackets there, I'm assuming that's where we'd see the current directory which appears to be the root user's home directory in the video.

    Tickets aren't finalized yet, even prices and ticket tiers haven't been worked out between LMG and Dreamhack. It probably won't be until February for ticket prices to be announced, keep tuning into WAN show for news and watch the LTX blog on the LTX website.

    My take:
    I think Tesla as a company will be fine and Elon will get some well needed rest from the crazy stuff he's been doing. He'll still have SpaceX and Boring Company so he won't get bored but I'm glad the SEC is taking steps to ensure the second largest car manufacturer in the US is under stable guidance and isn't crossing legal boundaries for memes...
    I'm getting ready to buy some TSLA when it is on sale on Monday, but that's just me...

    Because people are confused:
    Elon remains CEO of Tesla, but is losing his title of Chairman
     
    The Chairman of the Board of a company makes decisions regarding the direction the company is headed.
    They "steer the ship" so to speak.

    The CEO executes plans and handles operation of a company.
    The CEO's job is to be guided by the board and execute their will in practical terms in the company.
     
    Elon loses his big picture direction and decision making unilateral power, but he can still give feedback and persuade the board to do things he believes in.
    He also still handles operations of the company and many administrative tasks for Tesla.
