I much prefer Chuck Peddle's telling of the story of surrounding MOS's acquisition by Commodore and the history of the 6502 at VCF East: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBnmJhEOdC8

The Daily Show, during all those classic Jon Stewart years. And sure enough, it's gone. My first try, the classic interview between Jon and Joe Biden in 2015, where Biden admits he unwittingly politically used a story about a family co

I recently started using a Mac at work and Gnome aping MacOS is the only thing that makes sense. The applications selector, the settings drop-downs... spatial Nautilus... it didn't just start with Gnome 3. These are all poorly-impleme

I'm constantly ill at-ease with how LLMs have been trained on, well, just about everyone's data, and spit out really creative responses that were wholly inspired by someone else's most likely copyrighted works. With no attrib

It's client-side, and works very well for email. It used to be that email notifications through Thunderbird waited until your next email refresh interval, but I noticed they are coming in at the same rate as the Outlook clients after t

I agree with this, but I like the Albini version. My first listen to this track (in a long time since hearing the other version) the vocal is centered with good imaging, and is much less boomy than the original CD version. Very much like it

Credit card tokenization is a thing, and commonly used in retail. It leaves the last four digits of the number intact to allow searching for transactions from the POS; but other numbers are scrambled. Credit card data is otherwise stored in

Saying that modern monitors are more color accurate that CRTs really undersells the difference. Having been a professional photographer before a button presser, I feel I have a need to step in here. This narrative is so, so horribly wrong.

I was going to go with 10 years. I mean, nobody cared about Madonna's "Ray Of Light" beyond 1999. On the other hand, artists - like Dolly Parton - have made long careers out of songwriting that have carried them into their se

Your first claim I think is better stated that older CDs cut in their time from original sources sound better than similar music with modern processes. For pop, especially. I seek out early 80's - early 90's CD (with sprinklings i

I would think, more importantly, how many more people were charged for felony embezzlement for failing to return a video rental in Norman, Oklahoma, 20 years ago without their awareness? What motivated that chain of events? This whole story
