Camera Creations now has its own website (well, kind of)! I decided to stop paying through the nose for domains and SSL registrations so dumped it, Steve Litchfield style, on my homepage! As he rightly points out, that\u2019s what he does with all his stuff and has never had a problem - the RSS feeds are the important bit for the podcast world. Anyway, so it\u2019s at tedsalmon.com\/cameracreations - bare-bones for now but I\u2019m beginning to agree with Steve - keep it simple. Everyone\u2019s on social media now anyway, not websites! I might move all my stuff the same way over time as domains expire etc. I also dumped my main tedsalmon.com site back to basics (from the Google Sites fluffy-look one it has been) - so that also needs work.   Camera Creations Shared Album      News    This new Ryzen Max gaming handheld is too powerful to hold a battery  Perplexity AI wants to buy Chrome from Google for $34.5 billion (more than twice the value of Perplexity)!

Honor Magic V Flip 2's display can withstand 350,000 folds, 5,500mAh battery confirmed      Banters: Knocking out a Quick Bant    FydeOS - ChromeOS Flex rival - with Android Apps, full support, unlike FlexOS  Linux Mint 22.2 \u201cZara\u201d Is Available for Public Beta Testing - with fingerprint authentication (I have one on my laptop)  Download Link for Cinnamon - is it a simple process to get onto the Beta?
