The Cloud is Just Someone Else’s Computer: File sharing is easier than you think.

New SWAG

VDO.Ninja Bring live video from your smartphone, computer, or friends directly into OBS Studio or other. 100% free.

How private equity kills companies and communities Megan Greenwell, author of the new book Bad Company, discusses the role of private equity in American life.

Got a new item entering the CNCs tomorrow. Hope to have them to share in by the end of the month 🤞🤞

Just for those that still don't get it.
- TARIFFS ARE A TAX ON YOU!
- Countries DO NOT pay tariffs.
- Tariffs are paid by importers and that money goes to the government.

Technical problem solving in 2025:
- Do 0 research yourself.
- Try nothing.
- Complain on social media or comment "following" to someone's complaint and wait for solutions to come in.

These single shot episodes of Adolescence are wild.

Hey Apple, fix the bug that keeps removing things from the Finder sidebar.
