It is a long road, getting from there to here. I say make your own way. I have opinions about Trek that the larger community seems to disagree with pretty strongly but meh.
My unsolicited lukewarm take/advice is; don't let them tell you whats good and whats bad, decide for yourself. Just like Star Wars theres a lot to love, and sure a lot to criticize. Sometimes criticism is fun, but I've long since left behind fans who make their entire relationship with the franchise about how bad X or Y is. Its exhausting.
Blender. I feel pretty confident in saying that there is simply nothing like it in the commercial world. Its feature set is unreal; its like the swiss army knife of 3D modelling programs. I can't say enough good things about Blender. It has replaced so many secondary programs in my workflow and is slowly dominating to become my entire workflow.
It used to suck to use in the late 2010s and then work was done to overhaul its space-shuttle cockpit interface, and now it actually feels concise and usable. I freaking love blender now. Big time blender fanboy right here.
You can take my steamtroller when you pry it from my cold dead hands. Fucking love that thing. Not just for gaming either, couch computing is all possible via the steamtroller. LOVE IT.
Adafruit was rolling through runs of ~70 per day for a while. First come first served. Dunno if they still are. I'd suggest setting up a stock alert with them.
I snagged one for my Beepy. They were so strict about scalpers they made me set up 2fa so they could verify my account.
All mac computer lab (rev a/b iMacs), locked down with foolproof. No problem; bring a zip drive and boot from it by holding down option at startup. Use resedit to edit the extension for foolproof and remove all its resources. Extension no longer works.
Reboot into a completely unrestricted finder. Good times.
Close. The US controlled it but it was built by Japanese subcontractors who just happen to be...
...recently acquired... ...wholly-owned subsidiaries... ...of Hadden Industries.
