Make Use Of ☛ I can't use Linux as my daily driver anymore
This isn't about Windows being better than Linux, nor is it about Linux being the ultimate. I have used Windows since Windows XP, and I have been through every version up to Windows 11.

Valtteri Lehtinen ☛ Harjus v4 adds kernel bypass and more
After releasing the triangular arbitrage trading bot Harjus under MIT license and publishing a write-up on my journey last year, I took a brief stint of working on other stuff. However, I was constantly feeling that I had given up too early, when there were still major optimizations that could be enough to turn a profit.
My previous write-up had caught the eye of multiple aspirational arbitrageurs who, to my pleasure, contacted me in search of advice.

Android Police ☛ I moved all my 'secret' group chats to this privacy-focused app, and I'm never going back
So, over the last few months I've been moving all my personal chats over to Signal.
