Netflix gets more eco-friendly! 🌍 By 2030, they aim to halve emissions, already seeing huge wins: The Witcher slashed fuel by 90%, The Boroughs in New Mexico cut diesel by 75%, and Apex in Australia used hydrogen to halve fuel use. Happy Belated Earth Day! 🌿🎬
This swooping metal roof caps a house set in a Normandy Garden, which is really cool! I love this setup in the office, I assume. It is gorgeous.

Tucker Carlson just admitted he helped put Trump in power. But this was always coming. Trump always wanted power — just for the wrong reasons. He was never going to keep his promises. And that's exactly why he was never the right person for this job.
"It's a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. We'll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be. And I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people." —Tucker Carlson
America deserved better from the start.
Samsung just expanded Galaxy Connect to non-Galaxy Book Windows PCs. Sounds cool, but it’s also been causing C: drive lockouts on some systems. Already happy with Phone Link, so… is it worth trying Galaxy Connect or should I just leave it alone?

Small items can be fun. Clutter is not. The trick is grouping pieces with a common thread and giving the eye somewhere to land.
It’s hard to believe the iPad M1 was introduced five years ago. I still have the iPad Pro M1, and it’s still working well, though I don’t use it often. But I sometimes use it with my Mac Mini M1 via Continuity, using the Magic Keyboard and Mouse universally. Loved it.
