I make and write about fun things. I hope it's nice enough to go outside. Online Editor at Make: magazine. samtastic.co

I wasn't expecting this, but it's good to see it happening https://makezine.com/article/maker-news/betta-wire-is-finally-moving-towards-shipping-after-most-of-the-company-quit/
Every post is good, but I really appreciate the list of less sucky options at the end of this one. https://www.worseonpurpose.com/p/your-mattress-got-worse-on-purpose
I don't know if people are very interested in "stuff you can buy" roundup posts, but I at least try to find fun stuff to buy.

See me embarrass myself on the internet today: https://makezine.com/article/digital-fabrication/make-live-inside-volume-96-the-digifab-issue
Make: Live - Inside Volume 96, The Digifab Issue
At Make: we’ve cheered, and sometimes steered, two decades of rapid evolution in digital fabrication tools for home, hobby, and business use. But this year is an astonishing one. Make: Vol. 96 is all about the latest digital fabrication tools! Join us live as we talk about 3D printer tech, CNCs, lasers, and more! Multi-material 3D printing is finally legit, with smart, tool-changing machines that don’t waste filament. We'll talk about Snapmaker’s U1 tool changer, plus new 3D printers from Elegoo, Flashforge, and Prusa that are packed with advanced features at plummeting prices. We also got to go hands-on with new lasers from xTool — the burly MetalFab metal cutter/welder and petite MOPA F2 Ultra engraver — and with desktop CNC mini mills that have achieved the trifecta of power, price, and software that doesn’t suck. It’s a good time to succumb to your tool temptations.
This was fun to build. https://makezine.com/article/technology/computers-mobile/review-framework-laptop-13/ I was surprised the hardest part was picking a Linux flavor.
