Donald Trump created the National Design Studio (NDS) by executive order on 21 August 2025,
ostensibly to overhaul federal websites and digital services.
The office sits within the executive office of the president as a “temporary organization”,
a designation that places it outside the Senate confirmation process,
outside the financial disclosure system applied to most federal appointees
and outside the inspector general’s jurisdiction, which covers cabinet dep…

For generations, Saudi Arabia exported oil.
Now it wants to export one of the digital era’s most coveted resources:
computing power.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is seizing a chance to turn Saudi Arabia’s oil wealth into tech influence.
Few nations can match the kingdom’s cheap energy, deep pockets and open land
— the ingredients that tech firms need to operate the vast, power-hungry data centers that run modern A.I.
Already, Saudi Arabia has been neg…

The ‘Analog Warmth’ of Vinyl Has Been Mostly Digital Since the ’80s, Says Sound Engineer | Headphonesty
I'm not giving up on a pure analog signal path, but this confirms my worst fear:
"The shift to digital processing in vinyl production began in 1979 when Ampex released their ADD-1 Digital Delay. This device, built specifically for vinyl cutting, soon became standard equipment in mastering studios across the globe."
They cite one and only one at-time-of-writing holdout; there must be more!
