This newsletter is my experiment to save all the cool things I find during the week and share them with my like-minded friends.

COOL LINKS
Bouncing DVD Logo If you are old enough, you know exactly what this is. Every DVD player had this ‘screensaver’. Interesting fact, the bouncing logo wasn't just for fun, but was important to prevent screen burn-in on CRTs. If you had a static image on a CRT for a long time, it could damage the phosphor. Screensavers served the same purpose. Also, DVD logo obviously reminds me of this scene.
OpenCore — Hackintosh Alternative to Clover Hackintosh is an act of booting macOS on non-Apple machine. Clover is the bootloader commonly used to boot macOS, OpenCore is an alternative to Clover.
I haven’t made a Hackintosh in a looong time. It looks like the process has become much reliable these days. Have you done it recently?
Crank.js – Write JSX-driven components with functions, promises and generators Crank is an alternative UI library to React. If you are a React developer, you probably are aware of how it is going into a weird direction with the new features like Hooks, Suspense, etc. I actually side with the author of Crank actually but am still exploring the framework.
————————————————— GAME OF THE WEEK
Have you played My Friend Pedro? I was following this game’s from early prototypes to its release and finally got time to play some. It’s so much fun! If you liked Max Payne, it’s a bit like that. I am still playing this one but I love it so far. The game is available on PC, PS4 and Switch. It’s on sale right now for Switch and PC (Steam).
Dvd logo :D haye! It came with almost all players. I wonder how they used to share code in those times.
can i make it slide across MY screen?
