Try dragging a file and accidentally hovering over an unavailable network drive. Explorer will freeze for 5+ minutes with no timeout or cancel option. The entire UI locks up while it waits for a TCP timeout on an obviously unreachable resource. Been reported since Windows XP, still not fixed.

A printed essay where each paragraph is rendered in a different, randomly selected typeface. Found on Il Covile, an Italian publication exploring typography, philosophy, and design. The text is presented in both Italian and English.

The text is presented in both Italian and English.

The authors also created a LibreOffice extension that applies random fonts to any document, allowing users to experiment with the same generative approach directly. It's called "Patina": https://www.ilcovile.it/V3_p_patina.html
