A Framework…desktop? Yes, and it’s coming soon: the Framework Desktop harnesses Framework’s talent for building modular PCs and applies it to desktops — and AMD’s killer Ryzen AI Max processor (also known as Strix Halo).

I often need simple text tools (e.g. diffing, epoch time conversion, number base conversion) and was frustrated that I couldn't find a simple option that was as fast as I wanted. Many (SEO-optimized) websites exist, but they unnecessarily send your input to their servers. I used tools like DevToys but their diff has been broken on Mac for a while [1] and it requires installing an app, and CyberChef is good but requires too many interactions (yes, I'm picky).
So, I decided to build my own.

On Monday morning, anonymous hackers played a video on screens throughout the Department of Housing and Urban Development HQ in Washington, D.C.
