Sphere had an early, maybe the first, all-in-one personal computer that booted to a prompt and was ready to go at a time MITS was mostly selling flip-switch Altairs. Ben Zotto stumbled (literally) over the Sphere Computers story and acciden

Thank you for these amazing comments and insight! One element I might not have emphasized as much in the linked piece is just how much of "team" you accidentally assemble. I project managed this for Marcin, but he hired other folk

(we did talk at one point about incorporating a working keyboard into the book and decided it was madness on top of the complexity of a book this big)

100% agree. We looked at comparable books in terms of how they were pitched to an audience, size, quality, features (slipcase, color, binding, etc.), and went rather low on the retail price in the end, hoping to make it up with quantity, wh

Project manager and editor of the book here! Marcin has posted a lot of updates and newsletters about the printing process. It was fairly arduous to get the quality for the print run we did. Marcin hasn't disclosed the total, but you c

It's possible to do this on an accrual basis, but when I have spoken at times to accountants about it, they have discouraged it: the IRS can be dubious, and it makes the most sense to run your business that way if you're entirely

Author of the story here! I've been a writer and journalist for nearly 30 years, and with the giant shift of advertising from traditional and then web publications to apps, social networks, and product sites (Amazon makes a fortune fro

Nope, finally found it in the USB-C spec, section 4.6.2, covering cables: "USB Power Delivery in Standard Power Range (SPR) operation is intended to work over un- modified USB Type-C to USB Type-C cables, therefore any USB Type-C cable

I would love to find the citation outside of Wikipedia for the USB-C 60W requirement. Apple makes a USB-C charging cable that only does USB 2.0 but is capable of up to 100W. And you can find cables like this Belkin one that promise 15W: ht

I found it in the spec in section 2.1.5. (Referring to the May 19, 2021, clean revision of USB4 1.0.) "A USB4 host or USB4 peripheral device can optionally support interoperability with Thunderbolt 3 (TBT3) products. "A USB4 hub i

Author of the article here—please do tell me more about the Thunderbolt 3 and USB 4 relationship. I used “basically” to hand wave over some of the detail, but would love to know how to dig down on this further. (And I welcome nit picks. Ser
