7 Things This Week [#158]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ What The Verge did last month to look back at the internet’s infancy in 2004 was remarkably fun. Really, go get lost in this time machine of special project. [🔗 theverge.com]
2️⃣ I don’t know if this is true about CBC’s sound signature, but I’d love it if it is. [🔗 @nickheer // c.im]
3️⃣ Russia has fined Google an amount of money more than all there is on Earth. Uh, okay. [🔗 Joshua Nelken-Zitser // businessinsider.com]
4️⃣ Boston Dynamics videos never disappoint. Their fully electric (not hydraulic) and fully autonomous robots are hella impressive. [🔗 Boston Dynamics // youtube.com]
5️⃣ Arun dives deep into the Leica camera that Jony Ive and Marc Newson redesigned a number of years ago. Still one of the prettiest cameras I’ve ever seen. [🔗 arun.is]
And two Mac mini things to celebrate the arrival of its svelte new shape:
6️⃣ Oh boy do I ever want this Mac mini Pro enclosure! [🔗 @basicappleguy // threads.net]
7️⃣ Worried about the Mac mini’s bottom button? Here’s a fun solution that turns the whole computer into a power button, Easy Button-style. 3D-printing files coming very soon, it seems. (And the thing appears to suction the Mac to the desk, which is probably good considering how lightweight it is now.) [🔗 gijsmans3773 // reddit.com]
