Yeah, it's quite a bit.

Aseprite is a pixel art drawing program that I think is pretty good.

As usual, you downplay ARM grotesquely incorrectly, I hate to agree
with anything Apple, but they were ahead of curve, though PC tech is
advancing rapidly toward ARM's inevitable dominance.

Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

It's very expandable.  It uses a technology that is basically
"external PCIE" -- only that's not what it's called, it's called
"Thunderbolt".

It's unfortunate that royalties and Intel's certification process kept 
Thunderbolt from wide use for years.
