Looks on in Commodore 64.
This keyboard is actually an entire computer. Just plug it into a monitor and you’re set. Pricing isn’t finalized yet for the HP Eliteboard G1A, but HP says the starting price should come in under $1,000.

Years ago I was asked to take over the c7 forums. Which was daunting. The previous caretakers tried to be nice and please everyone. So it was deeply toxic.
I brought in a rule: “if you’re being a dick I’ll kick you out”. The first person that got ejected caused some consternation. Things improved.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Meanwhile, in Scotland: "What began as something so outlandish and so seemingly utopian that we might as well have promised the Moon and the stars has reached the point where, in theory at least, there is a parliamentary majority in favour of the principle of a UBI."
'At 8% of GDP, Scotland’s UBI would translate to around £3200 per person per year, or £60 per week...
Even smaller payments, such as the £27.15 per week Scottish Child Payment, have made a massive difference to those who receive them.'

I'm also knowledgeable and have experience in print production, preflight and quality assurance. I actually understand ink and printers (which is something that many digital only graphic designers will mess up) 👍
100% honesty here: if you see job listings for graphic design in video- tabletop or boardgames, or editorial I will really appreciate it if you send them my way :-)
It would kick so much ass if I got a job any job. I promise not to squander it by playing slay the spire this time around (I'm almost 100%)

Bloomberg's X account has more than 800k followers. Their most recent post was shared five times
It would basically come at close to zero cost for outlets like Bloomberg to delete their X accounts, and "We don't want to use a non-consensual deepfake abuse app as a comms platform" is a fine excuse

Fortunately, or not, I onluu see brand names in 20th century historical fiction where the author is showing off their research. They normally go on to make a basic history error and I stop reading.
