Windows 10 support ends for good October 14, 2025 and from what I’ve been able to tell, people aren’t looking forward to upgrading to Windows 11 any time soon. Microsoft surely isn’t doing itself any favors with the heavy push into “AI” and stuffing Copilot into everything. Also, full screen ads at start-up basically nagging people to upgrade—if their computer can even run Windows 11—or buy an entirely new computer certainly isn’t helping that sentiment. Where to go from here?| Sebin's Blog
NFTs arrived on the scene with big promises. They were pitched as the future of digital ownership. Using the blockchain as their basis, they were supposed to last forever. With an NFT one was supposed to prove beyond any doubt a digital asset was unique and truly owned.

Today is the day. I’ve been mulling over whether I should keep it around for good ol’ times or to reserve the handle, but I’ve ultimately decided it’s time to call it quits and no longer maintain a presence. Today I’m quitting Twitter, full stop.| Sebin's Blog

Apple recently unveiled their refresh of the iPad mini. Most surprising to me is that it comes with the A17 Pro chip. That got me thinking… Wasn’t the iPad mini meant as a small casual device? Why does it need a Pro chip?! But in conversations with friends I came to realize that the iPad lineup has been getting ever more confusing as time went on. And I’m not alone.| Sebin's Blog
While you can certainly host your image files with the Git repo your Eleventy site is checked into, or add them manually after building it, neither option is ideal if you want responsive images in multiple formats to save precious bandwidth.| Sebin's Blog
