Quick summary for those couldn't watch the livestream/load the website.

- New 61Wh battery, new matte display option & a Cooler Master mainboard case for $39.

- New 16 inch Framework laptop. Allows you to have a number pad or not, up to you and customizable. If I understood the livestream correctly, there are upgradable dedicated GPUs that connect to the 16 inch laptop.

KeepingItToastyon Recommendations for Japan Travel

I'm currently in Tokyo on holidays. Everywhere I've visited (Hakone, Nikko, Kamakura, Fujiyoshida), everyone is wearing masks both inside and outside. The only times I take my mask off are when I'm eating, drinking or in my hotel room.

The only people I have seen that aren't wearing masks outside are foreigners. This is only a subset of people visiting. Most tourists also wear masks outside.

'Arm Is Now Backing Panfrost Gallium3D As Open-Source Mali Graphics Driver': https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Arm-Panf...

SSL/TLS encrypts your traffic between you and a server but by itself doesn't prevent your ISP from snooping some information about your encrypted connection. If you aren't using Secure DNS & DNSSEC, they may be able to see and intercept your DNS queries. If you don't use TLS 1.3, they can see the SSL certificate of the website you are connecting to. If you don't encrypt your Server Name Indication (SNI), they can see the hostname of the server you are connecting to.

This all allows your ISP to figure out which websites you are connecting to and this can be used to prevent you from accessing certain websites, sell your browsing history to an advertising agency, etc.
