People are spun-up about the new Epoch of ARM computers. Their power consumption is the good news. The bad news is that it will likely further enshittification of software toward the 'mobile paradigm'

We just got our revised Broadcom tarriff. $employer is furious.

Is there any more frustrating evidence of the state of US driving culture than these two stickers:
i) Vehicle speed monitored by GPS

Ayrton Senna was 30years ago today. I like this photo of him, waiting by his broken Lotus - that car in which he built his reputation - during a practice session.

@Binder It used to be spelled Kæther but that spelling fell out of fashion after Einstein published “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies”, his Special Theory of Relativity, making the long term reliance on the outdated concept unnecessary.
