I’m pleased to announce that after complex negotiations my family has agreed a phased reduction in our USB-A devices and with the ambition of being entirely USB-C household by 2035. While it is unfortunate that we have missed our 2026 target we remain committed to the USB-C spec going forward etc.

Since H5N1 flu is finally getting news coverage, here’s a looong 🧵 on what I learned while working on it for a few months at Ginkgo Biosecurity (I don’t work there anymore and this thread is on no one’s behalf) Everything here is info you can get elsewhere but just to lay it all out insomnia style
