Piql is a Norwegian company that takes your data, pictures and other digital artefacts, encodes them in an open binary format and puts them on 35mm black and white film. To retrieve the data, you scan the film, use their open source software and there you go. Very long term storage as a combination of analog and digital. I like! Already used by museums and artists.

A 10/10 repairability score doesn’t happen by accident. Lenovo’s newest ThinkPads prove that laptops can be powerful, durable, and actually repairable.

Swappable batteries, modular parts, and one of the easiest keyboard replacements we’ve seen. Learn more about what makes these laptops amazing, at the link below.

I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
