Any (niche) print magazines anyone would recommend? Seems kind of fun to get something in the mail every month.

Idea: Web page of every phrase in (Koine) greek that meant different thing to the ancient great philosophers than in English language today. This'd help to get a good picture of the Greeks at once for one usually stumbles upon the "different interpretations" slowly.

There are these books:

I have the second one, which I found useful when studying ancient Greek philosophy in English translation.

Did Casio make things a bit weird on purpose to circumvent the Stanford/Chowning/Yamaha patent(s) on FM synthesis?

Can someone quote the whole thing here? Not everyone has a twitter / X account.

There are other music steaming platforms. I use Tidal, finding it to be the least annoying of the ones I've tried (Spotify, Amazon, Apple).

Does anybody have a recommendation for a slightly newer laptop (obviously not Apple) with an integrated DVD drive? My SO uses her 2012 MBP13 daily and a big advantage of that computer is that it's compact and can comfortably watch DVDs anywhere while she's working on her computer. We do have an external drive which works fine on a table but it's really cumbersome when trying to hold the computer on your lap, on a chair, on the couch, etc... you know, normal places where one might try to use a portable computer.

I've been contemplating a Thinkpad T440p but I do realize that's only two years newer (though almost infinitely more upgradable). Is there anything else with a 13-14” screen, DVD drive, and decent build quality? Or are we the only people who ever watch DVDs any more?

I'm typing this reply on this

which I use for DVD watching every day.
