I have precisely one #MechanicalKeyboard, a Keychron K5 SE low profile and its likely to stay that way. I recognize a lot of people really like them, though, and these custom keycaps reviewed by #TheGadgeteer look amazing, especially the Mixed set. #tech #mods the-gadgeteer.com/2025/02/2…

One of the more reliable indicators of #Apple preparing to launch a new version of a system is when stocks on older machines start to drop. This appears to be happening now with the M3 #MacBookAir. The current #rumor is for a March release. #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…

UPDATE: The previous version of this post cited the current MBA with an M4, but it was supposed to be the M3. The updated version of the MBA should be getting the M4 soon.

The #Framework (2nd Gen) Event kicks off in exactly 24 hours from now Pacific time. Note that they’re hinting at a gaming “system” in conjunction with #AMD, which will be streaming the event on their AMD Gaming channel. Also mention of more. #tech #news #videogames www.youtube.com/live/-8k7…

Reason #1,432,644 to #UninstallFacebook… you know what, I’ll let John cover this one in the latest episode of Last Week Tonight. #UninstallInstagram #UninstallWhatsapp #UninstallMeta #fuckZuckerberg www.youtube.com/watch

#Censorship isn’t limited to #socialnetworks. Last year there were nearly 300 #internet shutdowns in 54 countries, the worst on record. I wonder how long it will take #TFG & Co to try that here. #politics #uspol #fascism #tech www.axios.com/2025/02/2…

Alec, who runs the popular Technology Connections channel on #YouTube, posted a new video today discussing the very critical problem of #humanity losing our #agency and critical thinking skills to the #algorithm and how to fix it. #tech #internet www.youtube.com/watch

#Musk and #TFG and the #MAGA masses are so accustomed to lying and getting away with it, they just spew meaningless garbage without a care in the world? Something now immediately contradicts something said a week or so ago? Who cares! It’s not like anyone gives a damn, anyway, and if they do there’s nothing they can do to stop it, so again… who cares!

Take #Xitter’s #CommunityNotes as an example. They were great because Musk didn’t need to pay people to keep toxic shit off the Official Social Network of Shitposting® because the “community” would handle that. But now that those same notes are being “gamed” by filthy libs, “he” is going to have to “fix” them, so I guess not the bestest anymore?

These 20G 90º turns at speed are quite jarring. #socialmedia #tech #capitalism #fascism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

If you have operated under the illusion that #TFG & Co are trying to save #America’s #economy by cutting waste and fraud, then you should know that installing these and then removing them costs millions of dollars. Also very petty. #uspol #tech gizmodo.com/u-s-gover…

As an avid #retrocomputing collector I have amassed an absurd number of cables and almost every single one of them is a mess. I look at the various storage containers and despair. Tito posted a short video explaining his process to straighten them! #tech #howto #gadgets www.youtube.com/watch

I’ve long been a small gadget geek, and I bought an #Atari Lynx II, #Sega #GameGear and #Nomad before I ever got my first #Nintendo GameBoy (a Pocket, btw). This video shows the history of today’s ARM with the first home computers. #retrocomputing #videogames www.youtube.com/watch
