Getting PTSD just looking at this. Making custom cables ranks up there with doing accounts/taxes. Made the first one in 6 months and of course forgot to put the sleeve on before crimping it. 😭

I'm a bit pleased to learn that Cloudflare found SvelteKit to be nearly an order of magnitude faster than Next.js. We've invested in Svelte's speed, but not SvelteKit's, so I suspect there's still much more room for improvement.
Oh... what's this, you ask? Just a benchmark that coincidentally shows how fast SvelteKit is compared to Next.js 🤷♂️
How fast, you ask? Just 7-10x. No biggie.
Svelte ❤️

It lives! Wish I’d taken it apart 8 years ago when the keyboard first stopped working, just unplugging and replugging the trackpad cable was the fix.

Finally fixed the keyboard issue with my old 2015 MacBook Pro (now just a media laptop). Fix was to unplug and then replug the trackpad cable. Now I’ve got a bloated battery to replace 😭

Cutting back on screen time, dropping CBS, Channel 5, Paramount+, Pluto, Skydance. So that’s Top Gun: Maverick, Jack Ryan, Star Trek… and, tragically, Big Brother UK. Huge cultural loss, obviously. Tum ti tum 👀

Fancy seeing what was in the top 10 pop charts via the land of Ceefax from w/c 26 Jun 1988 in which Bros was number 1 with I Owe You Nothing, Sabrina was singing about Boys at 2 and Tracy Chapman had a Fast Car at 10.
