   Shadertoy, be prepared to lose a few hours. Very demoscene. It's wonderful that many of these load in the blink of an eye and run silky smooth even on a 2 year old iPhone.

   I've got an older model Lukas Blackbox LK-7900. It's a no-brainer. I've had two instances where it eliminated any question of fault which were otherwise going to be my word against theirs. Literally went from collecting witne

   I've got a bet with a buddy that a properly trained FaceID doesn't get cracked or fooled inside a year or does inside 6 months. We'll see soon enough, it's a tempting target.

   Don't forget FaceID compatible scarfs, and religious garb like niqabs and burqas! With sunglasses I think it's kind of adorable that I might have to lift them to prove it's "really me" like I'm getting carded o

    I understood that part of the reason the landing ship can be so small is that the drone ship is actively maneuvering to a spot to catch the booster. It's announced in the sequence when the drone ship acquires tracking signals from the

    Intrigued by the Octograbber, haven't seen it before but here's some discussion[0]. Looks like it scoots under the landing legs, latches on to the booster and provides additional vertical support via hydraulic jacks until the boos

    Just a warning, unless you get a "free" Chromebook from a hacker friend you're looking at probably $100 for a new one. In the end you're way better off with a beater $50 eBay thinkpad like my favorite x201. Which support

    X201's are plentiful but most eBay auctions are missing the drive caddy, caddy cover, AC adapter or all of the above. In that state you can get an i5 2.53ghz for ~$50 and the missing parts for maybe $25. Newegg also has refurbs but I r
