    Someday, I’m going to turn into this person.

    Can somebody teach me how to do this without real-life Ultrahand?

    Disney’s third planned round of layoffs has started.

    They’re expected to affect more than 2,500 jobs, according to Deadline. The second round happened in April, affecting approximately 4,000.

    This is my next iPhone “case.”

    Definitely doing this with my next phone — can’t let it get a scratch.

    San Francisco is investigating Twitter following a lawsuit from ex-employees.

    The lawsuit from the six employees has some startling allegations about how Elon Musk’s transition team deliberately planned to breach contracts and not pay bills, among other things. A Musk staffer apparently flat-out told one of the employees that “we just won’t pay rent.” (Twitter’s landlord in San Francisco has sued the company over, well, not paying rent.)

    A LAN party coffee table book!

    From the book’s website:

    These sweaty, junk-food-enriched glory days represented the origins of real community spirit in computer gaming’s early days. It’s strange to consider that, as gaming has moved away from physicality towards online spaces, images of gawky teens huddled around computers running Quake or Starcraft have since become subjects of genuine nostalgia.

    You can pre-order the book now ahead of its estimated autumn 2023 release. And if you want to relive some other LAN party nostalgia, read my colleague Wes Davis’ recent article.

    Images from the book Lan Party.
    Some pictures in the book. I just traveled back in time 20 years.

    Seeing the words “mass” and “router outage” in the same headline gives me the shivers.

    The full story sounds like a nightmare: some Asus router users were affected by an outage that the company didn’t address for two days, as Ars Technica reports. Not great!
