You'll still be able to access the website, for now. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried killing that, too. If I were a profit-above-all bastard that was trying to squeeze my users for telemetry, I'd force them to use the m

Honestly I'd prefer a top made out of various pieces of wood glued together - you can make some pretty neat patterns! That said, that process isn't cheap either lol. When I did mine I went with a jarvis frame and a custom glass to

It's probably my computer/browser, but that feels hella slow. For those getting ideas, Windows 2000 was lightning fast to use. Even on something humble at the time. Those windows and menus popped up instantly.
