Epic Games just won its lawsuit against Google. Again. (The Verge)

Vibe code is legacy code. (Val.Town)

And everyone hates legacy code.
Seagate has started selling 28TB HAMR external drives. (Serve the Home)

The bare drive costs around $570.

The external drive in a USB case with a power adaptor costs $330.

Why? Because.

Does it work the same? Yes.
Intel has rolled out the Core 5 120 which looks just like the Core i5 12400 including the support for DDR4 memory. (Tom's Hardware)

Looks just like it because that's what it is.
How did they create the Universal Pictures animated logo in 1936? (Stack Exchange)
