25 years ago today, the original iPod went on sale!
Flickr user Johnathan H captured these photos using his Fujifilm FinePix 1300 digital camera in glorious 640x480 resolution 📸
Imagine what it was like unboxing a brand new iPod!🤩

Current count: 74. I just gave an LTE 5100 to the A/C technician after he saw my PCs in the basement and found them to be very intriguing!

*** SBP ANNOUNCEMENT ***
Since August the releases have come fast, a patch every day or two.
We are very close to a stable release.
2.32.0 is where SBP changes: the stable release, the one we want to be right.
What goes in: The items already on the v2.32.0 milestone, and whatever you report before the freeze.
Feature freeze: Saturday, November 20. After that date only fixes go in until it ships.
What changes after 2.32.0. Fixes and security patches as they are needed, each gated as today. New features come slower and in larger pieces, so a release has time to settle before the next one.
What we need from you before the 20th: Anything that is wrong on your books: a figure that does not tie, a report that reads wrong, an import or an upgrade that did not go as the guide says, a page that gets in the way, a doc that misleads.
Reply here, open an issue, or write [email protected]. No real data in a public thread, please ... email it
A BETA release candidate goes to anyone who wants to run it on a copy of their books for a week or two before the tag. Say so in a reply and we will send you the build and a one-line way to report.
Expecting to release 2.32.0 on 12/1 just in time for the holidays.

У меня есть старый компьютер. Он работает на Windows 95. Учитывая всю легендарность и влияние данной ОС на индустрию технологий, мне стандартный Explorer.exe показался немного неудобным. Да, там можно сделать переход по папкам в одном окне, но мне недоставало некоторых функций из более старших версий Windows, которые мне очень удобны как на современном ПК, так и на старом. Хотя на момент релиза само собой вряд ли кто-то жаловался по поводу рабочего стола и его возможностей :D
В итоге, возвращаясь домой из магазина, я вспомнил о наличии своих макетов на тему визуализации современных интерфейсов в плоскость Windows 95 и при ассистировании средств ИИ сделал своё видение окружения рабочего стола реальным. Понятное дело, что на сегодняшний день это кажется никому не нужным, но в целом мне было весело и в первую очередь делал эту штучку для себя. Поэтому, я был бы очень рад узнать ваше мнение о ней (и по желанию распространили мой пост) :3
Программа сделана на чистом Си, Win32 API и без зависимостей из Windows тех лет в виде IE. Весит почти 2 МБ; из которых 300 Кб это просто картинка стартовой плашки.
