2·17 hours agohttps://mezzacotta.net/ and all the weird little experiments in webcomics they do
My personal favourite is Comments on a Postcard, which is they uploaded (intentionally) broken image links to a “webcomic”, and then assign a caption for it from a set of user submitted captions. It gives the feeling of exploring old websites that are half broken and trying piece together what they were about

It’s worth getting a better cable, but not a FANCY cable.
There’s zero discernible difference between a cable that’s £3/metre Vs a cable that’s £10/m. There’s a discernible difference between the £0.50/m and the £3/m though.

Cheap and expensive will give the same volume. But cheap will snap if you look at them wrong, whereas expensive you could throw off the tallest building in the world and they’d have nothing happen to them when you fetch em.

Stoat and Matrix do fine with that model.
How do you think things get funding
I mean, there’s literally a job title called “investor”, where the whole point is to go around looking for things that are in early stages of developing and going “HERE’S SOME MONEY, IF YOU GIVE ME A PERCENTAGE OF ALL FUTURE PROFITS”
Edit: no autocomplete, I don’t want to say “Wales stage”, wtf

Like articles going “new battery lasts 1000 years in one charge!” - which is true of Nuclear Batteries, because they give basically a maximum of 1 watt of energy per hour. (Which is useful for very specific purposes like a pacemaker)
