This might just be the best game of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" I've ever seen.

This certainly tightens up the iPad -> iPad Air -> iPad Pro line, The Air -> Pro gap was already small(it widens a bit today with the M2 Pro, but not by much), but the iPad -> Air decision was between dated budget tablet or more

I'm not old enough to have grown up on Tandy computers(though I recall my parents having what may have been a CoCo when I was very young), I do have have a 1000TX and CoCo 2 as part of my retro computer collection. I really kind of lik

Use of Teams has a been a deciding factor about not taking a job before. It's got to be pretty bad when it makes me nostalgic for HipChat.

I've had Amazon take down reviews that point out that a drive is a scam.

I also went the same Plex to Jellyfin route. Though it took me a couple of tries because Jellyfin wasn't quite up to snuff the first time I tried it, but the server/web side seems to be pretty great these days, at least I don&#x27

> The Roku OS is fantastic and neutral as far as the various content provider services go. I originally like Roku, because they used to be a neutral hardware provider, but that's not the case these days. Their OS is becoming more fu

>but did not find much about the topic of motivation within it. Agreed, this is much more of a "What to do to write once you have the motivation". That's not to say it's not a useful article, but perhaps a bit misdire

I remember seeing this before(in the link, it appears to have been around since 2011) and at least a couple of other versions of "Goodnight Moon" with geeky leanings that I can't recall immediately. It's things like this

And even if you do skip over the Amazon version and click on the product you want, there's a good chance there's going to be a "similar item" box right near the description with a link to a similar Amazon product.

I admit I originally thought this post has omitted the (year) tag and was about the initial batch of Pocket PC dev devices in the 90s before I read the article.

The Nokia N900 is simultaneously I really wish I had gotten my hands on when it was new and also a device I'm glad I ultimately didn't wast my money on. The landscape slider is still a form factor I miss though. Sure I've mos

I feel like these low spec ARM CPUs are basically the 6502 and z80 of the late 80s of our day. Still technically usable, but far outclassed by contemporary hardware, yet finding their way into the hands of hobbyists.

I'm skeptical that Samsung is anywhere near taking on the M1 given their current production Exynos processor, but I wish some one would. I have an M1 MacBook Air and it's essentially the computer I've been wanting for years,

I've been fairly lucky that for about 2/3 of my career I've worked in environments that have generally been pretty laid back. Though I did do a short stint just shy of a couple months at company that had just awful culture wh

Android should be the focus of this. I’d be upgrading every two years with most android manufacturers, and maybe a year or two more with a Pixel, but I’ve got an iPhone XR than I probably won’t even think about upgrading until the iPhone 15

I remember back in the late 90's or maybe 2000/2001 running some distro with X from two floppies. OSes that could be run from floppy were great because my parents weren't to keen on me partitioning the hard drive of the famil

I had always been super fascinated by Palm pilots since I was a kid and I finally got my hands on a Palm Zire 31 as an adult and later one of my first(maybe my first) smartphone was a Palm Treo 755p. Sure PalmOS had its shortcomings(especia

I used to be a big fan of Dropbox, but my problem is that they don't have a lower paid tier like Google, Microsoft and Apple have for $2-$3. I need a little more than the free plan offers, but I don't need terabytes of space.

Disney+ had inexplicably blocked my IP address for "being a VPN" for close to year, despite me never running a VPN from my home network. Though the block didn't stop me from watching their content, it just stopped me from pay

I've had similar issues with people who make 3d models for gaming and I find it super frustrating. I just want a model of a Dwarf cleric and maybe other models in the future, but I don't want to subscribe to you.

Outside of work provided computers, I've not been a Mac user for many years, but the M1 Macbook Air brought me back and it's been great. It's basically the laptop I've been waiting years for, silent with no moving parts

Years ago I started using Macs to have a stable Unix desktop that also played well with commercial software while keeping Linux on the side as a hobby. Somewhere around 2010 or so I think finally switched away from Macs to pure Linux after

It's much easier talk about integrating life and work and shun compartmentalization of work when you see much more direct returns from the output of your work/not work, rather than having a fixed salary.

That's crazy, I was also on a P120 machine looking longingly and Alphas and how much better they were. They just seemed so fast. If I'm not mistaken, they were also one of the early ones to 1GHz.

I remember Alpha in the 90s, it seemed like it was going to be the RISC architecture to finally take on Intel. I was so sad when it fizzled out and I was never able to get my Alpha-based computer(since its heyday was mostly while I was a te
