Looking for a Ride · Je cherche une voiture

As always, I really need a brand-new car/vehicle. If you are a car manufacturer, or work at a car dealership and want to donate a vehicle, contact me so we can work together and maybe record a video for your car dealership. I am interested in #GermanEngineering sports wagons and #JDM cars like the Toyota GR Supra MK4 or the Nissan Nismo Skyline GTR. I am willing to take a Nissan Maxima if a car body shop is willing to upgrade it with parts to make it NISMO.

I would also like to work with PVW Magazine to upgrade my VW sedan. It needs new parts, a new engine, and a new sound system. Email me at superfrenchbigz@gmail.com.

Sound Waves & Big Releases

To round out today’s curation, let’s talk about something that keeps the engine running every day: music.

If you’ve been following the French hip-hop scene, you already know the buzz. Marseille’s finest, Jul, has dropped his incredible new single, “Ragnar 2.” The energy on this track is unmatchable, and it gets us even more hyped as we await the drop of his brand-new full-length album, coming out very soon.

For listeners tuning into our audio streams, we’ve got some massive plans lined up:

JETLAG RADIO: Select tracks from Jul’s latest rotation will be making their way into upcoming episodes to mix up the vibe.

OMEGA RADIO: Once the full album officially drops, we will be featuring the entire record on a dedicated future episode of our Hip-Hop/Rap/RnB podcast.

When the album lands, make sure to show your support for the artist by grabbing your official copy through FNAC, Amazon, or your favorite music store.

Tuesday Wrap-Up · Le mot de la fin

Quantum Leaps, Deadbots, and Coffee: Surviving Tuesday the Tech Way ☕🚀

Well, folks, we’ve officially survived another interstellar Tuesday here at Zack Technology LLC. Between quantum chips expanding in Korea, Mistral partnering with NVIDIA for industrial-grade engineering, and Google DeepMind teaching LLMs how to “sleep” (relatable, honestly), the tech universe is spinning at warp speed.

As your friendly neighborhood CEO, I’ve been staring at the digital matrix wondering if we’re living in a cyberpunk novel or just a really chaotic Tuesday. We’ve got fusion supply chains forming in Japan, Mars quietly planning to turn its moon Phobos into a killer planetary ring, and existential debates on whether we should chat with AI replicas of historical figures or fictionalize our entire existence.

Meanwhile, if you’re trying to build a brand through the AI fatigue backlash or wondering why 80% of job applications disappear into the void, remember: real human energy, grit, and good old-fashioned local expertise still win the day.

Before you log off to ponder whether your code is sentient or just missing a semicolon, make sure to check out the brand-new episode of Coffee with Zaki, streaming right now in French (with the full VLOG dropping very soon, oui, oui!).

Grab your coffee, check your observability budgets, and keep building awesome things.

TGIF: Celebrating the World of Videogames

Enfin vendredi ! Aujourd’hui, on fête l’univers des jeux vidéo.

Bonjour, everybody

What’s up, everybody! It’s Friday (Vendredi), October (Octobre) 23, 2026. TGIF! Today we celebrate the world of videogames! I hope you did all your homework for first-thing Monday morning. Let’s enjoy some livestreams.

I am not sure yet what’s on the calendar, but there will be a few videogame livestreams, I am sure. I know some of you want me to show the new Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 Edgerunners II update, including mods, which is incredibly exciting. Since it’s the “plat de résistance,” let’s also focus on some unknown games that we promised we would play.

Let’s also not forget that we have to save our allowances, because GTA VI (rated M for Mature) comes out in just a few weeks. You already know that as a #RazerCreator I am excited for many hours of livestream videos for this game.

Thursday Medicine: The Therapeutic Frequencies of Space and the Memories of a Healer

La médecine du jeudi : les fréquences thérapeutiques de l’espace et les souvenirs d’une soignante.

Bonjour, everybody

What’s up, everybody! It’s Thursday (Jeudi), October (Octobre) 22, 2026. Today we discuss the world of Medicine, and I hope you enjoy the latest updates.

Health reminder: the latest COVID-19 variant (XGF) is going around, so it is very important to get the latest COVID-19 booster (2026–2027) so that you are protected. Get that flu shot as well. You don’t want to get deathly ill, especially small children, toddlers, and older adults.

This weekend is very sentimental for me. A few years ago was my honeymoon with my ex-wife, when we visited two of my favorite places on Earth: France and Germany, so it’s bittersweet. If she’s reading this, all I can say is that I hope she sees my progress and that she contacts me. I’ve tried reaching out multiple times, with no answer. I’m also on a dating app (Boo), so if another woman wants to date me, I won’t say no. So far, no prospects.

Thursday Medicine

Healing Frequencies and a Cup of Coffee Thirty Years in the Making

Welcome back to zack.coffee, brought to you by ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC. For this week’s Thursday Medicine segment, I want to explore a unique intersection: the science of auditory healing, the gravity of nostalgia, and the unpredictable paths our lives take over decades.

Recently, the gaming industry was struck by the heartbreaking news of the cancellation of the next Mass Effect project. It is a devastating blow to lose a universe that has meant so much to so many, though there is always hope that the brilliant developers might regroup to form a new studio. To process the end of this era, I have been diving back into the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and eventually Andromeda, on my livestreams.

What strikes me most during these deep-space playthroughs isn’t just the storytelling; it is the atmospheric, synth-driven soundtrack. There is a profound, soothing quality to BioWare’s audio design that functions as a genuine form of music therapy. The ambient frequencies of the Normandy’s starmap provide a meditative space that invites deep introspection.

For me, those therapeutic synths always pull my thoughts back three decades to my junior high days. I find myself thinking about my very first childhood love. We were just kids sharing the court on the same basketball team, completely unaware of where the future would take us.

Life, much like the sprawling galaxies in the games I stream, expanded in different directions. Today, she is on the frontlines saving lives as an ER doctor in France. Meanwhile, I am here in Sacramento, building the ZACK TECHNOLOGY ecosystem and exploring the healing properties of electronic music. Separated by an ocean and thirty years of history, we have never been able to meet up for that long-overdue cup of coffee.

Yet there is a beautiful, quiet symmetry in it all. While she practices the high-stakes, critical science of emergency medicine in a French hospital, I am exploring the restorative science of music therapy through audio production and gaming. Sometimes the right soundtrack doesn’t just calm the mind. It builds a bridge across time, oceans, and memories.

Thursday Videogame Therapy

Jacking Back into Night City with Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5

To close out this week’s Thursday update here at zack.coffee, we’re shifting from medical headlines and the soothing space therapy of the Mass Effect soundtrack to something a bit more high-octane. We are heading back to the neon-drenched streets of Night City.

CD PROJEKT RED just dropped the patch notes for the Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners 2 Update (Patch 2.5), hitting PC, Mac, and consoles today, October 22nd. If you thought V’s journey was over, this patch proves Night City isn’t quite done with us yet.

For gamers, this update is massive. It introduces the “Clampdown” side quest set before the events of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, bringing new gear, 12 new Minor Arcana Tarot Cards to discover, and a brand new radio station (HKGN 102.0 FM) bumping tracks from the series. They are also adding five new Glamdocs across the city to customize the look of your hand cyberware and, in a huge combat update, a “Double Trouble” perk tree that finally lets V dual-wield pistols and revolvers.

But as a #RazerCreator, the feature I am most excited about for my upcoming PS5 livestreams is the official Cross-Platform Mod Support powered by mod.io. This means we will finally be able to browse and install player-created mods directly from the in-game menu on the PlayStation 5. We’ll be exploring all these new mods, testing out the new dual-wielding mechanics, and hunting down those new tarot cards live on stream.

Between the immersive world-building of Night City and the sheer creative chaos these new mods will bring, this update is going to be an incredible way to decompress. I’ll see you all in Night City.
