For office I'd recommend Softmaker's FreeOffice or Pro 2024. They've worked great in my linux and macs

Excellent, thanks! Just took a look at "TCP/IP Illustrated: Volume 1" and was exactly what I was looking for. Any book along those lines that is compressed/water down (just to get started over a weekend)?

If we want to stay in the older license? Do we just do `npm i tldraw@3` and work from there?

Are there examples to use it for SGD using this? Like "Here is a tutorial on how to do a nanoGPT using DiffEqGPU.jl"?
