Sorry for the delay, two kids with gastro :$

I cheeted, I used my partners Win11 desktop, installed the XBox accessorys app, update completed in about 4 minutes. I have had success with windows based firmware update tools using wine in the past; with a lot of troubleahooting. Her PC is 2 meters from me and it was done in 4 mintes… Yes I feel dirty, but it’s a one-off firmware update. Pick your battles.

Cool, thought for a long time there it was just an artistic liberty; but this is much cooler.

Hi Astrophysics,

I always wondered why they draw black holes like they do in that the accretion looks like it’s drawn in two planes. I would have thought it would have looked a bit more like a saturns rings? Or is it exactly like saturns rings but we see the whole ring bent round the top because a black hole bends the light around so we can see it? Or is it something else entirely that they are trying to depict here?
