Want a piece of my tech collection? I'm reorganizing my office and need to find new homes for a variety of stuff -- some newer, some older. I posted a thread with the details over at Tinker Different:

Perhaps unsurprisingly Canva has absolutely ruined the Affinity suite. Free app that requires logging into a Canva account and comes with AI upsells? GTFO

I picked up a JBL speaker that works really well except for one design flaw: the power button breaks off! Let’s take a look at fixing it (for free!) and some other interesting secrets that lie within…

Got this from Redbubble today. So instead of making $2 per t-shirt, now I’ll only make $1. And if I bumped up the margin to make $2 again, they’ll just take 50% of that too. And this is all on top of the profit they’re making from producing the merch to begin with. Am I understanding this right?
