Google engineer has the most amazing house for LAN parties

by Laura Domela

Kenton Varda, a software engineer for Google, is very into LAN parties. You might think you are into LAN parties, or that you know a guy who is really into LAN parties, but compared to Kenton Varda, you are not even close to having the slightest affinity for LAN parties. You see, Varda had a house built specifically to be awesome for LAN parties. A super sexy LAN party dream house, if you will. For starters, the house has 12 game stations that can fold out of the wall for easy access, ensuring that no one has to bring their own rig. Already, this sounds infinitely better than any LAN party I’ve ever been to. via GeekOSystem

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
