POPULARITY
On today's episode, Rhett gives an update on the AI channel that was impersonating him — it's been taken down, but the bigger story is what's happening across YouTube right now: a cycling channel getting its video ripped off nearly scene-for-scene with AI voiceover, deepfake channels targeting female guitarists, and real creators quietly slipping AI-generated B-roll into otherwise genuine videos. Then a viewer hot take — "guitar culture and music culture aren't the same thing" — kicks off a real, personal conversation about hobbyist vs. professional identity, why we all feel pressure to monetize our passions, and why keeping something just for yourself might be the healthiest thing you can do. Plus a Patreon Q&A on how to find people to jam with if you're not on social media, a round of new music recommendations, an update on our live show at Fretboard Summit in Chicago, and we rate a viewer's genuinely wild daw-less synth-and-guitar rig.

La Fórmula E afronta este domingo la segunda carrera del E-Prix de Tokio tras una espectacular primera cita nocturna que volvió a demostrar la igualdad del campeonato. Dan Ticktum sorprendió con una brillante victoria en la última vuelta, Mitch Evans recuperó el liderato del Mundial y la lucha por el título llega más abierta que nunca cuando ya solo restan tres carreras para el final de la era GEN3. El circuito urbano de Tokyo Big Sight volverá a iluminarse bajo los focos para acoger una nueva batalla estratégica. Sus largas rectas, fuertes frenadas y la compleja gestión de la energía volverán a ser decisivas en una carrera donde cada activación del ATTACK MODE y del PIT BOOST puede cambiar completamente el resultado. Toda la atención estará puesta en Mitch Evans. El piloto de Jaguar TCS Racing aprovechó el abandono de Pascal Wehrlein para recuperar el liderato del campeonato con solo tres puntos de ventaja sobre el alemán. Sin embargo, Wehrlein tendrá una oportunidad inmediata para responder, mientras Jake Dennis llega reforzado tras rozar una victoria que se escapó en la penúltima curva de la última vuelta. El gran protagonista del sábado fue Dan Ticktum. El piloto de CUPRA KIRO firmó una actuación impecable desde la estrategia para conquistar la segunda victoria de su carrera en Fórmula E tras superar a Dennis en un adelantamiento memorable. También destacó Nick Cassidy, que logró un emotivo podio para Citroën Racing en un fin de semana especialmente difícil para el equipo tras el fallecimiento de su director, Cyril Blais. La estrategia volverá a ser el factor decisivo. La gestión de la energía, el momento de utilizar el ATTACK MODE y el PIT BOOST, así como la degradación de los neumáticos durante otra carrera nocturna, volverán a marcar las diferencias entre los candidatos al triunfo. En los campeonatos colectivos, Jaguar TCS Racing llega reforzado tras ampliar su ventaja sobre Porsche en la clasificación por equipos, mientras que la marca alemana mantiene el liderato entre los fabricantes cuando la temporada entra en su fase decisiva. Con Evans defendiendo el liderato, Wehrlein obligado a reaccionar, Dennis buscando revancha y Ticktum dispuesto a confirmar que su victoria no fue una casualidad, la segunda carrera de Tokio promete convertirse en una de las más importantes de toda la temporada.

La Fórmula E aterriza en Japón para afrontar uno de los fines de semana más importantes de la temporada. El E-Prix de Tokio estrena un formato inédito con dos carreras nocturnas que pueden marcar el desenlace del Campeonato del Mundo ABB FIA cuando solo restan cuatro pruebas para el final de la era GEN3. El espectacular circuito urbano de Tokyo Big Sight volverá a ser el escenario de la acción, aunque esta vez bajo los focos. Sus largas rectas, zonas de frenada y curvas técnicas ofrecerán un reto completamente diferente al de temporadas anteriores, añadiendo una nueva variable estratégica a una lucha por el título que llega más abierta que nunca. Toda la atención estará puesta en Pascal Wehrlein. El piloto de Porsche llega como líder del campeonato tras su victoria en Shanghái y defenderá una ventaja de solo nueve puntos sobre Mitch Evans, mientras Oliver Rowland afronta la carrera de casa para Nissan con el objetivo de volver a meterse de lleno en la pelea por el Mundial. Precisamente Nissan será uno de los grandes protagonistas del fin de semana. El fabricante japonés buscará repetir el éxito conseguido la pasada temporada en Tokio, donde Rowland logró la pole en ambas carreras y conquistó la victoria dominical ante su afición. También habrá una atención especial para Lola Yamaha ABT, que llega con la moral por las nubes después del histórico triunfo de Lucas di Grassi en Shanghái. La estrategia volverá a ser determinante. La gestión de la energía, el Attack Mode y el PIT BOOST serán decisivos en un circuito donde cualquier error puede comprometer el resultado. Además, el estreno de las carreras nocturnas introduce nuevas incógnitas sobre el comportamiento de los neumáticos, las temperaturas y el consumo energético. En la clasificación por equipos tampoco hay margen para el error. Jaguar TCS Racing lidera el campeonato con solo seis puntos de ventaja sobre Porsche, mientras que la marca alemana continúa al frente del campeonato de fabricantes y buscará reforzar su posición antes del decisivo doblete final en Londres. Con Wehrlein defendiendo el liderato, Evans y Rowland al acecho, Nissan corriendo en casa y el espectacular estreno de la Fórmula E bajo las luces de Tokio, la primera carrera del fin de semana promete ser uno de los grandes acontecimientos de la temporada.

Here's a tighter, more concise version while keeping the key points:When a battery company improves performance and secures recognized safety certification, discussions shift from “does it work” to “how do we move forward.” HPQ Silicon announced that its ENDURA+ Gen4 21700 cells achieved UL 1642 certification, with a rated capacity of 6,500 mAh, an 8.3% increase over the previously certified 6,000 mAh Gen3 platform. Both generations are now certified, supporting customer testing, battery pack integration, and commercial evaluation. This is not just a technical milestone. It is a critical commercial step as HPQ moves toward first orders.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW• Commercial checkpoint: Gen4 achieves UL 1642 certification, clearing a key requirement for customers• Performance progression: 6,500 mAh capacity, up 8.3% from Gen3• Two certified platforms: Both Gen3 and Gen4 are now ready for evaluation• Customer activity: Multiple parties testing Gen4, with certification no longer a barrierSTRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSUL 1642 certification gives OEMs and integrators confidence that HPQ's cells meet a recognized safety standard. Achieving this while increasing capacity shows the company can advance performance and meet commercial requirements at the same time.HPQ's silicon-based technology is designed to work with existing manufacturing processes, which could ease adoption. While customer testing, pricing, and application requirements still determine outcomes, HPQ continues to remove key barriers to commercialization.With UN 38.3 transport certification secured in late 2025, Gen3 certified in early 2026, and Gen4 now certified, HPQ is progressing through critical milestones while supporting active customer evaluations across multiple industries.INVESTOR TAKEAWAYUL 1642 certification does not guarantee orders, but it is a necessary gateway. With two certified platforms, improving performance, and ongoing customer testing, HPQ is steadily advancing toward commercialization and potential revenue.
On today's episode, Rhett, Zach, and Addison tackle a hot take that gets genuinely spicy: do all guitars actually sound the same? Then Rhett opens up about having his channel ripped off by an AI slop account (and what that's revealed about how broken YouTube's copyright system is), before the three of them dig into the state of the guitar store industry — why local shops are struggling, how Fender's direct-to-consumer push is undercutting its own dealers, the disappearing amp-repair trade, and what shop owners can actually do about it. Plus, an update on our live show at Fretboard Summit in Chicago, and we rate a viewer's rig — Gibson Flying V, Les Paul Jr., Dr. Z amps and all — to one of the highest scores we've ever given.

Federal Support: HPQ secured up to $3 million from Natural Resources Canada in September 2025 to support the development of its first 50 tonne per year continuous silicon based anode material production system.Commercial Leadership Expansion: HPQ and Novacium have partnered with Offset Links to identify prospective opportunities, facilitate introductions and support international business development discussions. Initial areas of focus are expected to include Australia and markets across the Middle East and North Africa.Performance Based Alignment: Tourillon said the business development professionals are working on a success based model rather than traditional salaried arrangements. Under the formal Offset Links agreement, compensation, if any, will be determined separately for each approved business development assignment.Battery Testing: Tourillon said multiple parties are testing Novacium's batteries and that preliminary data from those tests is replicating results previously produced by the company.STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSAdvanced technology does not sell itself. Industrial and defence customers need to understand how a product fits into their systems, what operational problem it addresses and what additional testing or development may be required before adoption. HPQ and Novacium are now building the commercial organization intended to help bridge that gap.Today's announcement confirms that HPQ and Novacium are adding professionals with experience in international business development, strategic partnerships and defence procurement. This allows Novacium's scientists and engineers to remain focused on research, testing and product development while the expanded commercial team advances market engagement.Tourillon described the announcement as a transition from technology development toward increased commercial activity. In his words, the reason for making that transition now is simple: "We have products."CEO Bernard Tourillon, edited for clarity and length:"We validated the technology. The technologies do work. We're ready to go, and we now need the sales team to represent that because we can't do everything. We have multiple people testing our batteries, and the preliminary data coming back from them is that they're replicating what we have done. We've reached the point where we need people with the expertise, the contacts and the field knowledge to take this prime time."INVESTOR TAKEAWAYHPQ Silicon and Novacium are building a dedicated business development platform around technologies that have largely been advanced by scientists, engineers and company executives. Offset Links brings decades of international industrial and defence experience, along with access to prospective stakeholders in markets including Australia and the MENA region. Jean-Louis Florentin adds 15 years of French Special Forces experience and direct knowledge of defence procurement, military requirements and operational environments.These appointments do not represent signed customer contracts, confirmed procurement orders or guaranteed revenue. They represent the commercial infrastructure HPQ believes it now needs to turn technical progress into structured industrial and defence discussions.HPQ enters this stage with federal support of up to $3 million for its planned 50 tonne per year silicon based anode material production system, Gen3 and Gen4 materials under development and multiple parties currently testing its battery technology. According to Tourillon, preliminary results from those tests are replicating results previously produced by Novacium, while some prospective parties are beginning to ask questions about potential production capacity.The next step is execution. Offset Links and Florentin must identify the right opportunities, make the right introductions and help align the technologies with specific industrial and defence requirements.

La Fórmula E inicia este fin de semana una de las fases más importantes de la temporada con la llegada del E-Prix de Sanya, primera parada de un intenso triplete asiático que puede resultar decisivo en la lucha por el campeonato. Tras el espectacular doble evento disputado en Mónaco, el Mundial eléctrico aterriza en China para la Ronda 11 con Oliver Rowland consolidado como líder, varios fabricantes en plena pelea por el título y un campeonato que sigue demostrando una igualdad extraordinaria. La última vez que la Fórmula E visitó Sanya fue en 2019, cuando Jean-Éric Vergne logró una brillante victoria en una carrera marcada por la estrategia, los coches de seguridad y una intensa batalla con Oliver Rowland y Antonio Félix da Costa. Siete años después, el campeonato regresa a las calles de la ciudad china en un contexto completamente distinto, con los monoplazas GEN3 Evo ofreciendo más potencia, mayor eficiencia y carreras todavía más impredecibles. Uno de los grandes focos de atención estará precisamente sobre Oliver Rowland. El vigente campeón del mundo llega en un momento excepcional tras su victoria en la segunda carrera de Mónaco y buscará ampliar una ventaja que comienza a resultar preocupante para sus rivales. El piloto de Nissan ya sabe lo que es ser rápido en Sanya, donde consiguió la pole position en 2019, y afronta el fin de semana como uno de los principales favoritos. Sin embargo, la competencia promete ser feroz. Jaguar sigue mostrando un enorme potencial con Mitch Evans y Antonio Félix da Costa, mientras Porsche necesita reaccionar tras perder terreno en las últimas citas. Tampoco conviene perder de vista a Mahindra Racing después de la victoria de Nyck de Vries en Montecarlo, un resultado que confirmó el importante paso adelante del equipo indio en esta fase final de la era GEN3. El trazado urbano de Sanya ofrece además todos los ingredientes para una carrera espectacular. Sus 2,5 kilómetros de longitud combinan dos largas rectas, fuertes frenadas y varias oportunidades claras de adelantamiento, algo poco habitual en muchos circuitos urbanos. La gestión energética volverá a ser fundamental, especialmente en una carrera donde los márgenes suelen ser mínimos y cualquier error estratégico puede tener consecuencias inmediatas. La cita china marca además el inicio de una gira asiática que continuará en Shanghái y finalizará con la esperada doble carrera nocturna de Tokio. Tres eventos consecutivos que pueden cambiar completamente el panorama de los campeonatos de pilotos, equipos y fabricantes cuando la temporada entre en su fase decisiva. Con Rowland defendiendo el liderato, Jaguar buscando recuperar terreno, Porsche obligado a responder y varios equipos demostrando capacidad real para luchar por la victoria, Sanya promete convertirse en un punto de inflexión para el Mundial de Fórmula E 2025-26.

Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave us a comment! All three of us are back. Rhett's finally home after five weeks on the road with The Midnight, Addison has moved back to Kansas City (into the exact same house), and Zach is mid-kitchen renovation with no internet. It's fine. Everything's fine. Hot take this week: why is basically every guitar pick the same teardrop shape? We get into pick materials, shapes, Blue Chips, the Carol Kaye felt pick thing, and the Tom Bukovac acoustic strumming trick you probably haven't tried. Then things get serious. Fender has issued cease and desist letters to boutique S-style guitar builders across the EU, demanding they stop manufacturing, recall sold instruments, and destroy infringing inventory — all by Memorial Day. We dig into what's actually happening legally, why this almost certainly won't hold up, what it says about who's really running Fender now, and why LSL has launched a GoFundMe to fight back. We also talk through the vintage guitar market losing its mind — including a 1959 ES-335 at Carter Vintage listed at $107,000 — and dip a rig from Cody in Portland, who built his own SG during COVID and put Gibson on the headstock.

Rhett calls in from the road, one month into The Midnight's tour. Their drummer landed in the hospital mid-tour, a monitor engineer stepped in off the couch to save the show, and a fill-in arrived on 17 hours notice and crushed it. Also: Rhett blew up a Divided by 13 at Brooklyn Paramount and accidentally came home with a Kirk Hammett signature V. Back in Nashville, Zach is keeping Mythos running and trying not to think too hard about it. We dig into the Chase Bliss Big Time, Rhett unboxes the CXM 1978, and we settle the debate on whether beginners should factor in resale value when buying their first guitar. Plus a Dip the Rig from Chips in the French Pyrenees. Thanks so much to the sponsor of today's episode, Sweetwater!

La Fórmula E afronta este domingo la segunda carrera del histórico doble evento del E-Prix de Mónaco tras una espectacular Ronda 9 que volvió a confirmar por qué Monte Carlo se ha convertido en uno de los escenarios más imprevisibles y estratégicos del campeonato eléctrico. Las estrechas calles del Principado recibieron una carrera marcada por accidentes, cambios constantes de posición, estrategias de PIT BOOST y un desenlace que alteró completamente la lucha por el campeonato. Nyck de Vries fue el gran protagonista del sábado al lograr una brillante victoria para Mahindra Racing, la primera del equipo en la era GEN3 y el regreso del neerlandés al escalón más alto del podio desde Berlín 2022. El campeón de la Temporada 7 ejecutó una carrera impecable, aprovechando perfectamente la ventana estratégica del PIT BOOST y gestionando con precisión tanto el ATTACK MODE como el ritmo en las vueltas decisivas para construir una ventaja definitiva sobre sus perseguidores. La prueba dejó además un importante giro en la clasificación general. Mitch Evans volvió a demostrar el enorme potencial competitivo de Jaguar con una sólida segunda posición que le permite colocarse como nuevo líder del Campeonato Mundial de Pilotos, superando a Pascal Wehrlein y llegando a la Ronda 10 con una ventaja de 15 puntos. Jaguar también logró asaltar el liderato del campeonato de equipos, aumentando todavía más la presión sobre Porsche en un momento clave de la temporada. Uno de los grandes nombres propios del sábado fue Pepe Martí. El piloto español heredó el tercer puesto tras la penalización posterior a la carrera de Dan Ticktum y consiguió así su primer podio en Fórmula E, convirtiéndose además en el primer español en subir al cajón dentro del campeonato eléctrico. El rendimiento del rookie de CUPRA KIRO confirmó el enorme nivel competitivo que está mostrando durante su temporada de debut y lo sitúa como uno de los focos principales para la segunda carrera del fin de semana. La Ronda 9 volvió a demostrar también lo delicado que resulta cualquier error en Monte Carlo. Nick Cassidy y Jake Dennis provocaron el primer Safety Car tras un accidente en las primeras vueltas, mientras que más adelante Nico Mueller, Pascal Wehrlein, Oliver Rowland y Antonio Félix da Costa quedaron atrapados en distintos incidentes que condicionaron completamente sus carreras. El espectacular accidente entre Ticktum y Da Costa en la curva 10 terminó siendo uno de los momentos más impactantes del fin de semana y volvió a evidenciar el límite absoluto al que se compite en las calles del Principado. A diferencia de la carrera del sábado, la Ronda 10 se disputará sin PIT BOOST, devolviendo el protagonismo absoluto a la gestión energética tradicional, al posicionamiento estratégico y al uso del ATTACK MODE. Esta configuración suele generar carreras todavía más compactas, donde la eficiencia y la lectura táctica adquieren un peso enorme en un circuito donde adelantar exige precisión milimétrica y máxima confianza. Con el campeonato completamente abierto, Jaguar creciendo en rendimiento, Porsche obligado a reaccionar y Mahindra reforzada tras su inesperada victoria, el E-Prix de Mónaco afronta una segunda carrera cargada de tensión deportiva y con múltiples candidatos reales al triunfo en uno de los escenarios más emblemáticos del automovilismo mundial.

¿Está perdiendo la Fórmula 1 su esencia para parecerse a la Fórmula E? En el clip de hoy recibimos en Auto FM a Andrés Castillo, ingeniero de Andretti en la Fórmula E, quien analiza con total franqueza la polémica temporada 2026. Tras 20 años en el motorsport y habiendo pasado por el Extreme E con Carlos Sainz y el proyecto de Audi en el Dakar, Andrés disecciona por qué el nuevo reglamento de la F1, centrado en la gestión extrema de energía, está decepcionando a los aficionados más puristas. El análisis técnico es demoledor: la F1 ha adoptado un concepto de "ahorro de energía" que ya existía en la Fórmula E, pero sin la coherencia de esta última. Discutimos la realidad tras los adelantamientos "ficticios" generados por el clipping (cuando el coche se queda sin potencia al final de recta) y cómo las imágenes espectaculares para redes sociales ocultan una pérdida de rendimiento que incluso se nota en las cámaras onboard durante la clasificación. ¡No te pierdas su opinión sobre si la F1 ha tomado el camino equivocado! Además, profundizamos en la actualidad de la Fórmula E y el equipo Andretti. Andrés nos explica la extrema competitividad del campeonato eléctrico, donde ganar una carrera no garantiza puntuar en la siguiente, y cómo la convergencia técnica en este cuarto año del Gen3 ha apretado la parrilla hasta límites insospechados. ¿Es sostenible este modelo donde marcas como Porsche, Audi o Mercedes sufren para dominar frente a equipos cliente? Miramos hacia el futuro con el Gen4, el salto tecnológico más grande en la historia de la categoría. Con una potencia de 600 kW (800 CV), tracción 4x4 y aerodinámica activa, la Fórmula E busca posicionarse prestacionalmente justo por debajo de la Fórmula 1. Analizamos los datos de simulación: ¿Podrá un Fórmula E ser más rápido que un Fórmula 2 en circuitos como Mónaco? Andrés nos revela los desafíos de gestionar semejante potencia con baterías que aún limitan la distancia de carrera. Finalizamos debatiendo el impacto de los grandes grupos automovilísticos como Stellantis, la posible entrada de Opel y la compleja política entre fabricantes y equipos cliente. Una charla imprescindible para cualquier "petrolhead" que quiera entender hacia dónde se dirige el automovilismo de élite, la sostenibilidad real frente al marketing y por qué, a veces, "más espectáculo" no significa mejores carreras.

El Circuito del Jarama se prepara para una cita histórica con el EPrix de Madrid y en AutoFM hemos querido analizarlo desde dentro con una voz autorizada: Andrés, ingeniero de Andretti Global. En esta parte de la entrevista, desgranamos los desafíos técnicos extremos que supone adaptar los monoplazas Gen3 a un trazado tan mítico, técnico y, sobre todo, estrecho como el madrileño. ¿Es el Jarama un circuito apto para la Fórmula E o veremos una carrera de pura supervivencia? Analizamos cómo la gestión de la energía y la regeneración en frenadas críticas como Bugatti o la Rampa Pegaso determinarán quién sube al podio el próximo 21 de marzo. Pero el salto tecnológico no termina en el asfalto de Madrid. Andrés nos abre las puertas del box de Audi Sport para revelarnos la cara oculta del Rally Dakar. Lejos de los focos de la victoria, descubrimos los problemas reales de fiabilidad y los retos de ingeniería que el equipo tuvo que resolver a contrarreloj antes de alcanzar la gloria en el desierto. La complejidad del sistema propulsor eléctrico de Audi en las dunas supuso un antes y un después en la competición, y aquí conocerás los detalles técnicos que nunca salieron en las notas de prensa oficiales sobre la gestión de temperaturas y el estrés de los componentes en condiciones extremas. La transición de un ingeniero de élite entre los desiertos de Arabia y los circuitos urbanos de la Fórmula E no es solo un cambio de escenario, es un cambio de paradigma mental. ¿Cómo se aplica la robustez aprendida en el Dakar a la precisión milimétrica que exige un equipo como Andretti? Andrés nos explica las diferencias en la toma de decisiones bajo presión y cómo la telemetría en tiempo real se convierte en la única aliada cuando las diferencias se miden en milésimas de segundo. Es una lección magistral sobre la ingeniería de competición al más alto nivel, donde el margen de error es, sencillamente, inexistente. Finalmente, ponemos sobre la mesa el futuro de estas disciplinas. Con la llegada de la Fórmula E a Madrid, surge la duda inevitable: ¿está el Jarama preparado para la evolución constante de los motores eléctricos o se quedará pequeño para las futuras generaciones de monoplazas? En este debate no nos guardamos nada, analizando si la apuesta de la capital de España por el motor eléctrico es un éxito asegurado o un desafío logístico que pondrá a prueba a la FIA y a los equipos. Un clip imprescindible para cualquier apasionado de la técnica, la estrategia y la intrahistoria de las carreras que definen nuestra era.

When a development-stage technology company raises new capital while simplifying the governance structure of a key technology partner, it can signal a shift in how management plans to advance its programs. In this case, that transition is defined by HPQ Silicon closing a fully subscribed $3 million non-brokered private placement, while simultaneously finalizing its increased ownership and revised governance framework at Novacium SAS.HPQ Silicon, a Québec-based advanced materials and process development company, intends to use the capital to support general working capital, advance a matching $3 million NRCan-supported silicon-based battery materials program, and continue development of its hydrogen technologies, while the Novacium restructuring is designed to support access to targeted funding programs in France and Europe. Together, these developments provide the company with additional capital and a simplified governance structure as it continues advancing its technology platforms.$3M Financing Closed: HPQ raised $3M CAD byissuing approximately 18.18 million units.NRCan Program Advancement: Participation in the NRCan-supported silicon battery materials program requires HPQ to incur eligible costs before reimbursement.Novacium Governance Update: Ownership in Novacium increased to 36.8%, while HPQ converted its Category P priority share into common shares, simplifying governance.Energy transition technologies and advanced materials development often require significant capital and long development timelines. As electrification expands and demand grows for higher-performance batteries and alternative energy systems, companies are exploring new materials and delivery technologies designed to improve performance and reliability.Through Novacium, HPQ is advancing silicon-based anode materials. According to previously reported testing results released by the company, Novacium's GEN3 silicon-based anode batteries demonstrated more than 1,000 charge cycles and approximately a 30% cumulative energy gain compared with graphite-based benchmark batteries under reported testing conditions.Novacium is also advancing METAGENE, a hydrogen technology platform focused on enabling on-demand energy generation. During the interview, management stated it believes the company now has clearer visibility on potential commercialization pathways, including specialized battery applications, partner-financed fumed silica production facilities, and hydrogen deployments aligned with remote energy needs and critical-minerals development.The $3M financing, completed with an investor outside Canada, is intended to provide working capital and allow the company to continue advancing its development programs while pursuing potential partnerships, government support, and commercial opportunities.CEO BERNARD TOURILLON“We've reached the point where the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants structure just doesn't work anymore. We believe we know where our revenues are going to come from, and we needed to stop thinking quarter to quarter and fund the plan.”For investors, the interview outlines management's view that the financing and Novacium governance changes provide additional capital and structural clarity as HPQ advances its technology platforms.The private placement supports continued work on the NRCan-supported silicon-anode battery materials program, while also supporting hydrogen technology development and general corporate initiatives.At the same time, Novacium's simplified governance structure may help align the company with potential European energy and innovation funding programs, while HPQ's ownership position in Novacium increases to 36.8%.Management also indicated that fumed silica commercialization may be pursued through partner-financed plant structures, which could allow HPQ to focus its capital on battery materials and hydrogen technologies.

GOING BALLISTIC Maryland House Judiciary Committee to Hear HB 874 Handgun Ban Bill The Maryland House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear House Bill 874 on February 12, 2025, which seeks to ban the manufacture, sale, and possession of certain semiautomatic handguns classified as ‘assault pistols.' The bill targets specific models like the Beretta 92X Performance, CZ P-10C, Glock 19, Sig Sauer P320, and Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0, among others listed in proposed Criminal Law Article § 4-302. NRA-ILA urges opposition to the bill, viewing it as an infringement on Second Amendment rights. California AG Sues Gatalog Over 3D-Printed Gun CAD Files Distribution California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against Gatalog LLC and its operator, Len Patterson, for allegedly distributing CAD files for 3D-printing unserialized firearms, violating state ghost gun laws. The suit claims Gatalog's website enabled the production of undetectable and untraceable guns by providing over 644 firearm designs. It seeks to halt the distribution and impose civil penalties under California's assault weapons and unsafe handgun laws. New Mexico House Bill 82: Democrats Advance Broadest Gun Ban in US New Mexico House Democrats are poised to pass House Bill 82 this week, which would ban dozens of semi-automatic firearms including AR-15s, AK-47s, and many handguns. The bill targets firearms with detachable magazines and specific features like pistol grips or folding stocks. It has advanced through committee and is scheduled for a House floor vote. Gun Owners of America Action Alert: Oppose S. 407 Anti-Gun Bill (February 3, 2026) Gun Owners of America urges members to contact Senators to oppose S. 407, a bill introduced by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) that would ban commonly owned semi-automatic firearms, including AR-15s and similar rifles. The legislation targets firearms with pistol grips, folding stocks, and other standard features, classifying them as ‘assault weapons.' It also bans magazines over 10 rounds and imposes restrictions on private transfers. Ammoland Article: Committed Gun Grabbers Claim to Support the Second Amendment (February 2026) The article criticizes politicians and groups labeled as ‘gun grabbers' who publicly claim support for the Second Amendment while advocating restrictive gun control measures. It highlights inconsistencies in their rhetoric and actions, portraying them as undermining constitutional rights. Examples include statements from figures like Joe Biden and organizations such as Everytown for Gun Safety. DOJ Amicus Brief in Support of Challenge to Massachusetts Handgun Roster (Savage) The U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus curiae brief in a federal lawsuit challenging Massachusetts' handgun roster law, arguing that the Attorney General's authority to ban handguns lacking arbitrary safety features violates the Second Amendment. The brief, submitted in the case Reese v. Department of Revenue, contends that the roster effectively prohibits most modern handguns by imposing subjective loaded chamber indicator and magazine disconnect requirements not justified by public safety data. It cites post-Bruen precedents to assert that Massachusetts' scheme fails constitutional scrutiny. Oregon Democrats Propose Two-Year Delay for Permit-to-Purchase Law (HB 2005) (Savage) Oregon Democrats are advancing a proposal to delay the implementation of the state's new permit-to-purchase handgun law, HB 2005, from its original August 2026 start date to August 2028. The delay addresses concerns over the Oregon State Police's readiness to process the required background checks and issue permits. This comes amid ongoing legal challenges to the law, which mandates a safety course, background check, and references for handgun purchases. New Mexico House Bill 129 – Proposed Broadest Gun Ban in US (Savage) New Mexico Democrats are advancing House Bill 129, which would ban a wide array of semi-automatic firearms including AR-15s, AK-47s, and many handguns.

When an emerging technology company quietly secures a larger slice of the engine driving its future, it can mark a seismic shift in long-term value creation.In this case, HPQ Silicon Inc. is lifting its stake in its French partner Novacium SAS by another 8.4 percentage points, taking ownership from 28.4% to 36.8% through an all-share deal valued at:C$4,033,425 / EUR 2.5 millionFor a portfolio spanning silicon anode batteries, autonomous hydrogen, and waste-to-value technologies, this higher stake deepens HPQ's claim on a multi-platform energy-transition business built in Europe.The valuation is unchanged from HPQ's 2025 step-up, but the underlying technology set and commercialization visibility are not. And that's where the leverage lies.Stake Jump: HPQ is acquiring 84 additional Novacium shares, raising ownership from 28.4% to 36.8% for C$4,033,425 (EUR 2.5M), at the same implied ~EUR 30M valuation used in February 2025.Share Currency: Consideration is 22,407,916 HPQ common shares at C$0.18, representing roughly 5.2% dilution in exchange for an 8.4% incremental equity stake. All shares are locked up for four months and one day.Platform Power: Novacium's portfolio spans:2025 saw patents filed, GEN3 batteries surpass 1,000 cycles, and strategic collaborations initiated.Global Upside: Beyond HPQ's exclusive North American licenses, the larger equity position increases HPQ's participation in international revenues and royalty streams tied to Novacium's technologies.Capital Discipline: The deal is arm's length, subject to TSX Venture Exchange and regulatory approvals, and preserves HPQ's cash while maintaining its renewed option framework to further increase ownership over the next four years.For decades, IP-heavy energy-transition platforms have created most of their value in private structures or offshore vehicles, leaving public-market investors with indirect or limited exposure.Legacy models often:Fragment licensing across regionsMisalign founders and partnersForce public partners to fund R&D without proportionate ownershipThat structure can work when technologies are speculative, but becomes a liability once platforms start to de-risk and commercialization paths come into focus.Novacium is an IP and execution engine advancing three interlocking pillars:Silicon anode materialsAutonomous hydrogen systemsCircular waste-to-value processesAll rooted in silicon and battery know-how.In 2025:GEN3 18650 cells using Novacium's silicon-based anodes retained 80%+ capacity after 900–1,000 cyclesDelivered roughly 30% more cumulative energy versus graphiteNew patents were filed on:HPQ's move to increase its equity stake at the same ~EUR 30M valuation effectively buys more of that de-risked portfolio at last year's price.By moving now, and paying in shares instead of cash, HPQ:Secures a stronger economic and governance positionPreserves balance-sheet flexibilityIn markets where batteries, hydrogen, and circular processes are converging into multi-billion-dollar verticals, HPQ is tightening its grip on the European engine underpinning much of its future pipeline.“This isn't a tactical tweak; it's a disciplined capital allocation decision. We're using shares to buy a bigger piece of a platform that's already de-risking and starting to blossom, without touching our cash. It moves us from just licensing North America to having a much larger claim on value creation across every geography as Novacium's technologies go to work.”HPQ is effectively trading 5.2% dilution today for a meaningfully larger stake in an asset whose IP, patents, and early battery and hydrogen results suggest far greater optionality than its unchanged ~EUR 30M valuation implies.For investors, this looks less like a one-off corporate reshuffle and more like HPQ's Google-buys-YouTube moment, a deliberate move to own more of the platform that could power its long-term energy-transition growth.

Il Fondo Monetario Internazionale pubblica il dettaglio dell'accordo anti Bitcoin con El Salvador e le implicazioni sono ben più gravi di quelle che avevamo inizialmente paventato. Scopriamole insieme.Inoltre: il presidente shitcoiner Donald Dump annuncia la rovinosa riserva strategica shitcoin, il primo secure chip open source è realtà, Mara acquisisce un enorme palco eolico per minare bitcoin, perché i brain wallet sono una pessima idea.It's showtime!
Creating a turbo manifold isn't THAT hard but creating one that doesn't fall to pieces in harsh motorsport conditions is a different story. In this episode, we sit down with Full Race's Geoff Raicer — someone who understands turbocharger and manifold development better than most and is more than happy to share what he's learnt... plus a whole lot more.Use RACE50 to get $50 off HPA's 3D Modelling & CAD for Motorsport course: https://hpcdmy.co/CADbFull Race has been around for a long time and has always been known for building some of the best turbo manifolds and turbo kits available — primarily for the Honda, Mitsubishi, and Nissan markets. Geoff and Full Race were even instrumental in bringing Borg Warner's line of EFR turbochargers to the aftermarket and yet, despite that successful history, you won't find a single fabricated exhaust manifold for sale on Full Race's shop these days — so what happened?In this episode, we chart Geoff's journey towards founding Full Race just as the modified import scene began to explode, how his business evolved through some challenging years, and what it's morphed into today — a very different beast from its early days.This is a fascinating story that saw Geoff and his team pivot in an interesting direction during the 2008 financial crisis, involving themselves directly with Borg Warner and later Ford in the development and testing of the 2.3 inline-four and 3.5 V6 EcoBoost engines years before the public saw them. This relationship has continued and we now see a completely different Full Race that puts the majority of its eggs in the Ford basket, pumping out some of the best Raptor 3.5-litre Ecoboost go-fast parts seen anywhere in the world. This episode touches on a wide range of subjects that touches on a wide range of subjects — from the limitations faced by Geoff in the early days of turbocharging, to the secrets to building manifolds that don't fail, to some seriously technical discussions around turbochargers, working with OEMs, the ins and outs of Ford's EcoBoost 3.5 litre V6, plus a whole lot more.
