She's married to Colin Jost and this was his last night doing weekend update, so I suspect she wanted to be there.
I think it's more than just decades, I think this will cause a permanent shift in geopolitics. I'm not sure how it will manifest, but the long term doesn't look good for the US.

Gotta maintain the roads somehow. Vehicle and gas taxes mean that only those using the are paying.
There are three top credit rating agencies and this was the final one to downgrade the US. First one was under Obama in 2011 due to Republicans playing games with the debt ceiling. Then in 2023, but I'm not sure why. And now it's due to continued brinkmanship, but I think primarily due to Trumps impact to current and future health of us.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.
I thought he meant more R&D, but even $1200 would be way too expensive for a console (especially a handheld).
Yeah, I know it would mean emulation, the question is more if they can deliver. Since they state it will work with all Microsoft, Epic, and Steam games. Assuming any of the leaks are right.
I mean choosing Qualcomm means they're targeting Arm chips, which Intel and AMD don't make.
It would probably mean a longer battery life, but I'm not sure how that would work for backwards compatibility and power.
If that's true though, it would really set this device apart from the competition.
I mean it is one of the premiere educational institutions in the world. I imagine they're looking for some of the best people to run the school and that has a cost.
Also, unlike CEOs or for-profit companies, his compensation is probably his own income (from the school).
You're right, I had heard that he was leaving, but can't find a source.
