Dave Plummer posted a nice video tour of the Living Computer Museum items for auction located at the LCM. He also has some video clips taken just before the LCM closed in 2020.

Retro computer fans: Paul Allen's collection of historic computer artifacts is up for auction at Christies. Many were on display at the Living Computer Museum in Seattle before it closed.

The Christies site is full of excellent hi-res color photos of Allen's collection. I've written a script to download the photos, as I suspect once the sales commission checks are cashed, the photos will go away.

My wife and some of her friends are heavy users of @signalapp. Three times now, she has had spam (email and/or ads, popups on other sites) start occurring for products she has only mentioned in a Signal conversation.

Enough to know it's not a coincidence.

Is Signal selling keywords to advertisers? The Mac OS text edit client?

Being a Californian, this is one of the few reasons I'd consider hanging out in Alaska for a while.
