• I replaced all our blog thumbnails using DALL·E 2 for $45: here’s what I learned.  (Deephaven)
  
  DALL-E lets you describe what you want a picture of, then generates it.  The results are interesting.  (Reddit)
  
  
  
• A review of the new HP Pavilion Plus.  (Thurrott.com)
  
  I mentioned this as potentially the best small laptop, and the review agrees on many points.  Where it falls down is not so much the hardware as the crapware - the review uses that term - HP chose to shovel onto it, some of it difficult to remove.  You should be able to do a reinstall with plain Windows, but you shouldn't need to.
  
  
  
• Another candidate is the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3.  (Liliputing)
  
  This is lighter than the HP, has an option for a higher-resolution screen, still has the Four Essential Keys, has an 8 core Ryzen 6850U, and wired ethernet, as well as all the other bits.
  
  I doubt it's cheap though.  The previous model is on sale right now at 45% off, and still costs A$2499 for a pretty meh configuration.
  
  
  
• Crypto lender Hodlnaut is the latest to steal all its users' money.  (CoinDesk)
  
  I wish I could steal half a billion dollars and blame it on "difficult market conditions".
