ASUS Signs Agreement to Continue Development and Support of Intel's NUC Business (www.anandtech.com)
Ten years ago, this would have been far more exciting news. However, given the quality issues Asus has been having for several years, this is not the company that should be picking up the baton. I’d have preferred to see ASRock, given their portfolio of NUC-alikes.

No, Threads didn't rate limit like Twitter. Here's what Meta did. (mashable.com)
Threads recently announced that they would be introducing tighter rate limits to combat spam on their new social media platform.
