Looks like Western media is already attempting to normalise Israel’s supply-chain-based terrorist attack from yesterday that indiscriminately and savagely wounded ~3,000 people (yes, they’re people, as hard as it might be for some white folks to understand), some 300 of them critically, and killed others, including a 10-year-old girl.
But don’t worry, it’s not like many USians/Europeans carry personal electronic devices made in foreign countries or anything… what’s the worst that could happen?
@coffeegeek totally agree. The iteration on the 2009 with the 5k and much thinner computer was amazing. Improved the look on every aspect and that monitor was top. I wish the Studio Display was a bit cheaper, because it’s better than any other monitor around 1000$, but I can’t justify paying almost 2000$ for just a screen…

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.
@coffeegeek two things: 1) you’re a true coffee geek 😅 2) that iMac’s design was sheer perfection. I had the 27” model and that thing looks modern even 15 years later. It was the pinnacle of Ive’s design team.

This is very sad, and an example of what happens when the collective public relies on dubious 2 minute shorts on TikTok and Youtube to get their "information" from, more and more, and lose the ability to absorb long form content by people who actually know what they're talking about.
