20 years on, the Mac mini is in the best shape of its life

The Mac mini, released 20 years ago, has gone from strength to strength and is now one of the best desktop computers available.
The original mission of the Mac mini was to be a stripped-down, more affordable Mac, and it has managed to maintain its value for money despite 20 years of inflation.
The latest version of the Mac mini, with M4 series chips, packs in an impressively large amount of power into an unbelievably small form factor.

The Mac mini has always been a strong contender, with successive models getting smaller while becoming more powerful, and the newest version with Apple silicon has given it a new lease on life.
This mini machine is in the best shape of its life and is an affordable option for those who need a powerful computer for all their needs.
The Mac mini is the perfect choice for those who want a desktop with excellent performance in a tiny form factor, and in the next 20 years, it will remain a favorite.

Remembering Usenet - The OG Social Network that Existed Even Before the World Wide Web

Before Reddit, before GitHub, and even before the World Wide Web went online, there was Usenet.
Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use, created to be the network for the general public - before the general public even had access to the Internet.
Usenet was the first social network. It was chaotic, imperfect, and sometimes frustrating, but it was also a place where real work got done and real connections were made.
Topics were many; if you could imagine a topic, there was probably a group made for it and, if a group didn't exist, one could be made.
Each group owner could - and usually did - set their own rules. Failing to follow the group's culture and etiquette could lead to a “flaming.”
Usenet's structure - decentralized, threaded, and open - can be seen as the first demonstration of the values of open-source development.
Usenet became an essential platform for code collaborating, bug tracking, and intellectual exchange,
As the internet evolved, Usenet use has been fading, but it still holds rich archives that contain detailed discussions, insights, questions and answers, and snippets of code.
Usenet was a place where knowledge was freely shared, and the seeds of ideas could grow into something great.
As Linux fans, we owe a lot to Usenet. Without it, Linux might have remained a small hobby project instead of becoming the force of computing that it has become.
