    I'm sad to see this comment, scoffing at an independent creator just selling something cool online. I wonder why this reaction? Is it the imagined profit margin? Or just the choice…

    I got their 10gbps displayport switch to use with switching a single monitor between a Windows desktop PC and an M1 MacBook Pro. I have a 4k@144hz monitor and can get the full fram…

    I'm a big fan of this font, I use it every day and have never regretted the purchase. Unfortunately the OP noted they didn't like Iosevka, which I think is pretty visually similar.…

    What's your experience with group texting? I've been looking for a dumb-er phone, but I need good group texting support to stay in touch with my family. I've tried phones like the …

    Wow - really surprised at this move by Netlify. It looks like that's a new policy[1] where a "Member" is not just someone who can log in to the Netlify UI and manage a site, but an…
