@alexglow @ishotjr it did take multiple reminders for me to add it to the calendar, so thank you for the posts!

@JennyList One of my most common frustrations is a README that lists every platform they support, but doesn't once mention "this is a music player."

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.
Review: Framework Laptop 13 - Make:

Framework's Laptop 13 isn't just a capable machine, but one you can repair and keep using indefinitely.
