I was gifted this amazing latchhook embellished pillow from a long time supporter and friend. I cannot imagine all of the hours that was required to make something so beautiful. I am at a loss for words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.
Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

"Major coup" is REALLY overselling it. Keep in mind, this is the guy who took time off pulling up off the green felt in iOS7 to develop Apple Watch.
Good luck on doing whatever it is Meta does, I guess?

WINDOWS93 v3 is incredible! For those that aren’t familiar with WIN93, it’s a simulation of an operating system that includes apps, games, emulators… It’s all quite silly, but pretty darn technically impressive as well. It’s worth checking out!
