Never had one of these in my youth, but I set one up at the @R_I_C_M Learning Lab recently (with a Spectre GCR too), and it's an absolutely amazing machine. I had access to a friend's Mega ST but the Mega STE really ups the game.

UPDATE: @NASA can confirm a fireball over New England at 2:06 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, 2026. The meteor was about 5 feet (1.6 meters) in diameter with a mass of 5.6 metric tons and entered Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 42,000 mph. The meteor traveled through the atmosphere from northwest to southeast for 26 miles before breaking up at an altitude of 31 miles and producing a meteorite fall into Cape Cod Bay. Based on the latest data, the energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 230 tons of TNT, which accounts for the sonic boom. Have questions?

The meteor appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles over northeast MA and southeast NH. The energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT, which accounts for the loud noise. Eyewitness accounts supplied by the American Meteor Society.

If you’re against AI, help us put the OG McCay animation on blu ray. He had to draw EVERYTHING for each frame. The background, Gertie, etc!

Hello! Raspberry Pi Connect lets you access your Raspberry Pi devices remotely from anywhere, straight from a web browser. Since we last wrote about Connect, we’ve shipped three updates that we think will make it noticeably more useful — particularly for the growing number of teams using Connect for Organisations to manage fleets of devices. raspberrypi.com/news/raspber…

Check out this dust devil in Warwick, Rhode Island today! Video is from Leanne W. via Chime In. Dust devils rarely happen in New England. They're so rare that first I thought this might be AI generated, but we received multiple videos of this same dust devil. It's real. @NBC10

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
