Early Saturday, 26-year-old Shannon Seamster, driving her Chevy Tahoe near Nags Head, struck a five-year-old stallion. Officials say the young horse was killed on impact, and Seamster was arrested for a DWI and released on a $2,500 bond.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Hardware Haven. Today we’re diving into the ZOTAC ZBOX—what the heck it is and whether you should get one. Simply put, the ZBOX is ZOTAC’s mini-PC series, a “tiny powerhouse” that “punches above its weight.” These pocket-sized desktops pack Intel or AMD processors, optional Nvidia graphics, and leave out the bulky tower. In the video, the host calls it “a perfect living room or office machine,” highlighting how it handles web browsing, office apps, and even

Welcome back to Maker Moments. Today we’re diving into how Adam Savage breathes new life into stalled projects, how he feels when his “passion projects” end up in odd display spots, and whether gritty sci-fi will ever roar back. Adam says when a build hits a wall, he “steps away for a bit, then comes back with fresh eyes.” He breaks big tasks into tiny milestones—painting one panel, fitting one hinge—and suddenly the project moves again.

Welcome back to the Smarter Every Day podcast. Today we dive into Destin’s Smarter Scrubber experiment—his ambitious quest to “make something in America.” He started with a simple idea: a stainless-steel scrubber manufactured from coast to coast. He toured waterjet shops and welding studios only to find that “machine shops all across the South are booked out for months.” Even basic plating and assembly pushed costs above two dollars per scrubber, compared to just fifteen cents overseas. “I

According to a survey by MyBioSource, 80 percent of people experience post-PTO burnout, and 42 percent dread returning to work.

Hello and welcome to the Cloud Minute. Last week, Google Cloud suffered a three-hour outage that left customers unable to access their rented infrastructure. At the heart of the problem was a Service Control update rolled out on May 29 without a feature flag or proper error handling. When a policy change on June 12 introduced “unintended blank fields,” a “null pointer caused the binary to crash,” triggering a global crash loop. Google’s Site Reliability Engineering team spotted the issue

Welcome to Tech Time Capsule. Today we look back at Windows 95’s road to release—and the unexpected glitch that nearly derailed its compatibility tests. To ensure Windows 95 worked with every PC application, a Microsoft manager drove to a local store and bought one copy of every program on the shelf. Engineers were told to grab two, log any bugs and hand over the software if asked. “If you did a good job with your two,” recalled Raymond Chen, “you could come back for more.” But at checkout,

Welcome back to “Who, Me?”—the only certainties in life are death, taxes … and tech causing trouble. Today, we meet Dillon, a point-of-sale specialist at his hometown’s swankiest retailer, a place with a rooftop steakhouse, piano player, and bar. When local sports moguls threatened to leave town unless the city built a new stadium, the city council obliged—and slapped on four new taxes: extra sales tax, restaurant tax, liquor tax, and a double tax on live-entertainment nights. “The only

Hello and welcome to AI Brief. Today, we’re talking about a clash between two of the industry’s biggest voices. At Paris’s VivaTech conference, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang fired back at Anthropic chief Dario Amodei’s prediction that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and push unemployment to 20 percent within five years. “I pretty much disagree with almost everything,” Huang said, accusing Amodei of believing AI is so scary and so expensive that “only they [Anthropic]

Hello and welcome to Briefly Creative. Today we explore why graphic design education needs a shake-up. Designer and educator David Reinfurt’s 2019 book A New Program for Graphic Design sold out its first print run in three weeks, and now it’s in its third edition. Unlike a typical textbook, it’s built from lectures on Typography, Gestalt, and Interface at Princeton, capturing a dialogue-driven, meandering style that invites us to see design as a broad lens on the world.Now comes A

Welcome to Deep Questions, I’m your host. Today we’re talking about Cal Newport’s strategy for escaping mediocrity and getting ahead of 99% of people. Newport argues that most of us fall into the “passion mindset,” chasing what feels good instead of focusing on what we can offer. Instead, he recommends the “craftsman mindset”—“offer be-low market value, then increase your worth,” he says. That means identifying rare and valuable skills, then committing to deep, uninterrupted work to master

Welcome to “Career Corner.” Today we’ll cover Scott H. Young’s key advice on choosing work that fits your life. First, remember that work will fill roughly 80,000 hours of your lifetime. Money “isn’t everything,” he warns, but “it’s definitely not nothing.” Next, think of college more as a signal than training—harder majors show employers you can handle challenges, and broad knowledge often beats narrow vocational study. Beware chasing natural talents that don’t map to real jobs. Use early

Welcome to The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast. Today we’re diving into a tale of how a small change sent Facebook’s infrastructure into a tailspin. In an effort to be more inclusive, Facebook added “civil union” to its list of relationship statuses. Sounds simple, right? But as the post points out, “we didn’t realize that this enumeration was hard-coded across dozens of services.” The moment “civil union” hit production, millions of profile requests started failing.

I’m your host, and we’re diving into how indie developer Adam Lyttle “made $800,000 on the App Store…without a big idea or investors.” That’s right—no venture capital, no fancy marketing budget, just a handful of “silly little apps” and a smart strategy. Adam’s approach starts with rapid prototyping. He picks simple, fun concepts—think novelty soundboards or seasonal countdown timers—builds a minimum viable product in days, then releases it. He
