I have this as well, and all my kids seem to as well. Never knew that it was part of fighter pilot screening, that is interesting.

I would get that as well - I ended up at the urgent care a few times just because it was so painful and unsettling. It was never diagnosed but I'm pretty sure it was costochondritis - something in my sternum area was inflamed and would

The best times were chilling out with my grandmother watching Roadrunner and other looney tunes. She always felt bad for the coyote... not in a root-for-the-bad-guy kind of way, but because it was always stacked against him. I know the movi

His character in Legend is a core childhood memory for me. Also his voice role as Hexxus in Fern Gully!

Holy crap that's my desk too, bought about 24 years ago. It's been a great desk. Gray frame with black work area/shelves. I guess at the time the name was funny too but I had forgotten it.

We could do all of that before the most recent datacenter build outs. Existing datacenters at the scale we were used to were just fine for what was expected of them.

As a kid in the early 90s, I remember staying up late to watch the news and there were specials about upcoming technology. I think it was close to the end of the year and they were going over what was in the works for the next year. It was

Yes. That would the point of democracy, if ours wasn't in shambles.

Don't worry, it's all worth it so long as we can get braindead summaries we didn't ask for, pretend to be the 10x engineer we always wanted to be, and generate fake videos for internet points! (sarcastic rant over) Most of th

I like those but am wary since it was reported to be prone to rollover when getting frisky with it. Was that much of a concern for you?

My favorite bike was an early aluminum framed Trek that I upgraded practically every part of myself. The bonded frame creaked but it rode great for thousands of miles. It got stolen and I haven't felt the same about biking since. Miss

I wonder how many sysadmin or adjacent careers that scene helped to foster. As a kid JP was a favorite of mine, and eventually I got into Linux as an older teen. That sequence cemented Unix as this mythical thing in my mind and I knew I had

That would be nice! The ones I get stuck on are so obvious once the word is revealed that just a reshuffle of the letters would help. Maybe give the player 3 chances to re-scramble the letters.

I have a few containers at home and switched to podman, it was a pleasant surprise to see how how easy it was to drop it in as a replacement.

Yeah 9 times out of 10 I'd rather go to Popeyes. It is greasy but it's spiced well and I can't think of a single bland thing on their menu. I'll say though that the customer experience at Chick-fil-a is top notch, and th

Menu prices in the restaurant are ridiculous now. The only way I can stomach buying fast food is through deals on their apps, which I find very anti-consumer and predatory. It's also super annoying when you just want a quick and cheap

That's my experience as well - my family had a 2600, but the Genesis was our first modern (for the time) game console. I remember fondly all the trips to the video rental store and flea market hoping to find games we could afford.

I've still got my ouya, wonder if it still works. It was a fun idea, even though I mostly just used it as an emulator box. The controllers were neat but a bit janky, I always had issues w/ the batteries.

A wooden battering ram from the ceiling does wonders. The fog&dog&log never fails.

This is an accurate take. From a tech perspective, AI and ML are great. It's a neat and successful experiment that has a lot to offer. The fact it's being pushed on all of us as this panacea for the cost of human effort is just di

He's fine with what it can do, he got it when he was 7. Some mobile games, music, streaming apps. It's about as cruel as the 10yo MacBook I gave my daughter when she was younger. She loved that thing.

We do this with my kids, but really it's only a side effect of my love of archaic technology and isn't really forced. My boys have their own walk-man cassette players, and I've made a bunch of mix tapes both for them and myse

Yeah that is a bit of a disappointing mislead with this being an article about retro-tech. I was hoping it was a display of some of the mix tapes or other peripherals they were using.

There's a line to toe - each kid is different, but with my daughter she went from a flip phone in middle school, to a smart phone in high school. We didn't turn on mobile data for her smart phone (hand me down pixel) until about a

20 years ago I was running linux as a desktop for fun. It certainly was not as easy to setup as Windows.

I recently built 2 mini PCs for my kids to play games on, and went with Bazzite. It was really surprising how put together it all is. The steam integration is seamless and it can play a ton of stuff even on an older NUC w/out a GPU. It
