This was a gorgeous little laptop. I would LOVE to see something like this from Apple again.
23 years ago today, Apple introduced what remains the greatest laptop of all time: the 12-inch PowerBook G4.

Absolutely insane list
I've just checked on the social media requirement, because this has been on the ESTA application for a few years now but you were able to leave it blank
Giving details of your social media will be a mandatory requirement to get an ESTA

I'm not a Christmas person; quite happy for it to be done-and-dusted and get into January (even if January is itself a bit grim), but one highlight I *can* get behind is the HTMLHell advent calendar.

The man's got integrity. No working with/for AI-related peddlers sure makes things harder and harder what with it being shoved down everyone's throats. Go treat yourself to one of his courses, people.
A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.
