TIL you can make "GIFs" with SVGs for GitHub README.md files

The moving image below is only 49Kb and has an incredibly high resolution. It's similar to a GIF but instead of showing moving images, it shows moving SVGs! The best part: Github supports these in their README.md files! Getting these to work involves asciinema and svg-term-cli.

There’s now a cheaper Retroid Pocket Flip 2 available, but here’s why you shouldn’t buy it

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority TL;DR The Dimensity 1100 edition of the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 will go up for sale later today. With the 72-hour early bird discount, it costs $50 less than the Snapdragon 865 version. The D1100 is powerful enough for PS2, but the SD865 has better driver support.
