@inoneear RE-PC & 3R have hooked me up with some great stuff over the years!
Currently hunting for a better 1U server to host my personal VMware hypervisor on, and a Apple Powerbook G4 to run MorphOS on.
Didn't find what I was looking for during my recent visit to RE-PC, but I did find a couple of silly nerd toys to play with.
Need to make a trip to Kent soon to see what 3R has to offer.

This is, objectively, hilarious https://apple.news/AGUQpSFgoSy2XXlIX3B_DVw
@KayJanes I was just a kid, but I basically remember it as if Circuit City was also a theme park.
RE-PC, a used electronics shop in #Seattle, uses inventory bins from Incredible Universe for parts management.
Incredible Universe went out of business 26 years ago!
I have vague memories of visiting one in Atlanta when I was a kid.

"Pro-life" is a Republican lie.
Republicans are pro-death penalty.
Republicans are against child vaccination.
Republicans took away the child tax credit.
Republicans oppose school lunches.
Republicans oppose maternal health care like pre-natal vitamins.
Republicans oppose adequately funded foster care.
Republicans oppose the agency and autonomy of women.
Woo! 1,500 followers!

NEW: The federal No Fly List was exposed on an open server discovered by a security researcher last week.
The list, which was being stored by the US airline CommuteAir, contained over 1.5 million rows of data including names, aliases, & birth dates. https://www.dailydot.com/debug/no-fly-list-us-tsa-unprotected-server-commuteair/

@sh @logjk Yeah, this is the RPi4 version. It's pretty nice.
It was ordered before they decided to nuke their reputation here, so it might be the last RPi product I take on, but despite that it is very cool. Took over 100 days for delivery, so be warned, Clockwork is very slow on the fulfillment side.
haircut selfie!!!!! (cw: eye contact)
@vantablack Great look for you! Also, love the Spinel pin!

CNET is now letting an AI write articles for its site. The problem? It's kind of a moron.

Amazon just alerted me that my package was delivered at 10:30am local time, which is pretty impressive since it is 9:30am.
Cleaned up a couple gadget-packed sections of my apartment and I'm embarrassed to report over a dozen cables that weren't connected to anything.
Anyway, things are looking much cleaner now, and will remain so until my network lab goes through several more iterations.
