Readit NewsAt work I've use a mix of physical and digital with a whiteboard to track my TODOs as I can always turn around to see what's next and I get a nice reminder at the start of my day of what I have to do. I also have a ~/.kb file, which is just a plain text file to store any scratch notes, commands, etc.
At home, I have a physical journal that I write in, and I hate to admit it but its kind of a mess, but I do have an agenda that I use to management appointments that is better organized only due to the virtue of the provided layout that it comes with.

One of the hardest hit sectors by e-commerce was naturally electronics. I've noticed now trying to buy anything desktop-related such as components or accessories is sometimes nearly impossible without using the likes of Amazon or Newegg, or being gouged by the likes of BestBuy.
In the early 2000s it was easy to find at least half a dozen local electronics stores selling the goods you needed and nowadays there is only MicroCenter or your state may have their own smaller chain (i.e. Central Computers).
I was rather surprised that Apple kowtowed to the UK. Quite a shift from the rigid stance that they had with San Bernardino. I understand the situation is not exactly apples-to-apples (ha!), but it is similar enough.
This stance is even more confusing considering the company has spent the better part of the last decade advertising to customers that they are on their side for privacy and security juxtaposing themselves against Meta and Microsoft.
- Dwarkesh Podcast has a smart and charismatic host bringing on some truly excellent tech industry guests (e.g. Jeff Dean, Patrick Collison, 10x IC engineers)
- Oxide and Friends is Oxide Computer's 2nd podcast after the brilliant but short On The Metal. This one is more casual but around half the episodes are serious technical deep dives.
- Know Your Enemy is seriously the best political podcast you'll find, because it's targeted at people who read books and actually care about understanding politics, not just having some intelligent sounding soundbite for cocktail parties. It's recent episode on Ayn Rand's life and work is excellent and relevant to the tech industry which has its fair share of Randian hero archetypes.
- Acquired is great for entertaining history of important companies. The episode on TSMC is a classic, but I also found their episodes on Hermes and LMVH really enjoyable. You just have to watch out for the fact that they're (a) non-technical and can get over their skis covering software/hardware companies, and (b) they're VCs so adopt some often incredibly weird framing on things, for example their approach to discussing the societal impact of weapons companies during the Lockheed Martin episode.
