Kindle Colorsoft, defect to Russia, GLP-1 drugs, Copilot mode, AI electric usage, Galaxy Z Fold 7, electric air taxi and funkiest fungi. It was around this time last year I started the process of picking components for a new computer, though I wasn’t planning to order until last October. From the first days of planning, I did make a few changes to the desired components. Now that I’ve been using the computer for several months, I’m happy with each of the decisions I made. While I do push it every now and then, overall it still allows me plenty of space for more data and more processing. I have no doubt I have another 3-4 years of solid work left in it. Check out all of the news of the week in the stories below.
