I set up Microsoft’s parental controls on someone’s account a while back and I manage it for her. Last night, she was panicking because she couldn’t access the internet. At first, I assumed it was due to time limits I might have set and forgotten about. But no,it turns out Microsoft simply decided to block Chrome, with no notification, no email, nothing. Just a silent update that made me scramble...
I don’t usually spam out blog posts when the news hits about things, but I am making an exception here as I found this super exciting. Framework, for those of you who don’t know, is the computer company that makes repairable and truly upgradeable products.Framework announced three new products.

A few different things all came together to write this post today.My Kindle’s battery died. The Kindle hubbub (though not relevant). A failure to find a self-hosted Instapaper alternative.
