UFO 50 Reddit is roleplaying as if the LX console was real | Polygon

https://www.polygon.com/culture/457296/ufo-50-subreddit-roleplay-metafiction
It started on Wednesday with a simple thread prompt from redditor DorikoBac: “Can we do the thing people do when fictional history is made and pretend that the games from UFO 50 were our childhood games?” DorikoBac, too young to have owned an LX in the ’80s, imagined discovering UFO Soft via emulators in the mid-2010s.

Elite 40th Anniversary

http://www.elitehomepage.org/fourty/index.htm
Today, 20th September 2024, is the 40th anniversary of the day the world first experienced Elite, the 3D space trading and combat game written by Ian Bell and David Braben, first on the BBC Microcomputer in conjunction with Acornsoft. To commemorate this, I have added further sources (Apple, Atari, C64, NES, SNES (unfinished) "Elite"; and BBC "Elite II" (unfinished)) to the Elite Archive.

Turning Everyday Gadgets into Bombs is a Bad Idea « bunnie's blog

https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/2024/turning-everyday-gadgets-into-bombs-is-a-bad-idea/
The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it. The current discourse around the potential reach of such explosive devices is clouded by the assumption that it’s technically difficult to implement and thus unlikely to find its way to our front door.That assumption is wrong. It is both surprisingly easy to do, and could be nearly impossible to detect. After I read about the attack, it took half an hour to combine fairly common supply chain knowledge with Wikipedia queries to propose the mechanism detailed below.

The speech : r/HFY

https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/1fh6076/the_speech/
It began centuries ago. Due to our physiology and the fact that our world contains a single continent, we never gave priority to developing long range communications. Our mind was one and we knew what all saw and felt. But as we developed and the laws of nature made themselves known to us, we stumbled unto radio signals.

Impossible Vortex Passthrough illusion - Version 2 by RJ Design

https://makerworld.com/en/models/497301#profileld-411727
The Design Building on the well received impossible passthrough illusion. This is Version 2 It fixes the problems present in the first Design.  No more messy overhang, a good slide straight after printing, and much better bed adhesion.  This is a fun piece and can be used as a fidget toy as well Dimensions are approximately: diameter 46mm x 50mm Let me know if you experience any issues. If you enjoy this print consider giving it a boost (It'd really help me out!) Printing The Print Profile should be used if possible. The hour glass object should have auto tree supports enabled to 30 degrees, and a layer height of 0.16mm, the barrel shape should have no supports and a layer height of 0.2mm  It is set up to print by object (1 part then the next)   My WorkAfter many years in Engineering, I've just decided to try and follow my childhood dream of becoming of a Creative Designer.A Creative Designer of what? No idea! Right now I really like puzzles, mechanisms and kinetic sculptures so that's where I'm going to focus my efforts. Boosts really help me out To support me even more (not ever required), for information around development of my models (background to come) and for commercial use, i've started a patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/RJ_Design

Raw dog the open web!

https://www.fromjason.xyz/p/notebook/raw-dog-the-open-web/
Highlight:In our current digital landscape, where a corporate algorithm tells us what to read, watch, drink, eat, wear, smell like, and sound like, human curation of the web is an act of revolution. A simple list of hyperlinks published under a personal domain name is subversive. Curation is punk. Lets break away from the protective layer that is our For You Pages.
