Just read an article detailing how Microsoft executives are confused and upset that people don't appreciate their AI features and don't like people giving them shit about them on Twitter. "How are people not impressed with this stuff?"

Fellas, have you used the internet lately? It's fucked. Have you used Windows? Fucked. It's shit. People are sick of it being shit, because it didn't used to be as shit as this. You've gone and fucked everything, that's why people aren't happy with you.

Picking up this project from two years ago, I finally printed a bezel and key set for my PocketCHIP. I printed it with Polar Retro Platinum and used waterslide decals for the key tops and badge with Univers 57 font.

Update: I collected the models and the art for the waterslide decals in one place:

A document is open showing cursive hello. On the desk is a rainbow 3D printed cursive hello in front of a Lisa computer and keyboard.

Missed this but the iPod turned 24 years yesterday.

This was originally a QuickTime Movie on the Apple home page. Seems it was created with Livestage Pro. Only 255,820 bytes. Details.

El principio de innovación de Apple de anticipar el futuro en lugar de reaccionar al pasado no la veo, ni la siento en la Apple de hoy. / I no longer see or feel Apple's old principle of anticipating the future over reacting to the past.

Frase de Steve Jobs mencionando la del jugador, Wayne Gretzky: "Patino hacia donde va a estar el disco, no hacia donde ha estado” durante la presentación del iPhone en la Macworld Conference & Expo, el 9 de enero de 2007. El principio de innovación de Apple de anticipar el futuro en lugar de reaccionar al pasado.

#Windows10 reaches EOL today. Microsoft's message is clear: buy new hardware or pay.

For millions of users worldwide, perfectly functional computers will suddenly become "obsolete" - not because they can't run an operating system, but because #Microsoft says so. This isn't just about one OS reaching EOL. It's about a business model that treats your hardware as disposable e-waste and your security as a subscription service.

Users shouldn't have to choose between security and #sustainability.

A person is working on a laptop, with the cover removed, examining the internal components. Tools are visible, and there are boxes and packaging materials nearby. The setting appears to be a home or office with a wooden table.

Aparently The Guardian has an article about Tommy Flowers who was an important person missing from the story about cracking the Enigma code. They say that his involvement was a secret "for decades". https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/12/move-over-alan-turing-meet-the-working-class-hero-of-bletchley-park-you-didnt-see-in-the-movies

Looking at iOS 6, it is clear that it was infinitely better than the mix of flat elements, translucent blobs, and near impossible labels to read that we have today.
