My fishing story - as a young teen, I "caught" a sturgeon on the Ottawa River (just outside of Pembroke) in a 12' aluminum boat. This was in an area where we'd typically expect to catch bass and northern pike - our…
"Exposure to vibrations, like those generated by high-powered motorcycle engines, might impact iPhone cameras" https://support.apple.com/en-ca/102175 I attribute my iPhone 7's camera failing with mounting it on my bike.
Sync on green could be done with the ATI Mach 64 as well. I picked up a 20" SGI monitor (if memory serves, it was made by Hitachi) on the "free" table around 1999 on my university campus. I got it working, but the one I…
I did something similar as a kid on my Commodore 64. When my Quickshot joystick broke (after playing Summer Games and similar), I took it apart - it was then that I realised it was just simple switches - it was a metal…
I remember it being the 90s :) the first generation AIBO was discontinued TWO decades ago. (it does look like subsequent models were launched about a decade ago)
and DEC Tulip!
I wonder if any of the Apricot-era software is still going? If the services side became ACT, which was bought by Misys, Misys bought by Vista Equity and merged with Canada’s D+H to form Finastra - still a going concern…

I agree - it's worth doing just for fun. I did the same recently just for fun - I really enjoyed "Gravity Force" on the Amiga - itself a lunar lander variant. Could a model build a Gravity Force like game I could run…
Yeah, this is so bad - I struggled with this as well, why did they make it hard?
this It drives me nuts, I look at cumulative CPU time, and this is all my work laptop does.
Agree - but even for the basic use case, it has not been trouble free for me. With a simple 1080p display on a desktop running LTS Ubuntu on an older 3060: - I've had updates where stuff just stopped working and I had…
- IBM creates PC and its BIOS - Phoenix creates clone of BIOS - At some point, IBM/Lenovo stopped using its own BIOS - IBM spins out Lenovo - Lenovo buys Phoenix In-house firmware, outsource, then in-house again.
Same experience here. Was getting flats all the time on my commute, bike shop recommended Schwalbe Marathons, haven't had an issue since.
Safari still supports MV2
Just FYI - That defect only impacted systems which boot from ZFS - mine did not. The installer would stop an upgrade if it found a mounted volume - it apparently checks for zfs volumes as follows: sudo zpool list -H I…
I hit this recently - nVidia issues with a Flatpak, I spent about half an hour on it, gave up, and just decided to try the app out on another laptop.

The way Find My has been built, it doesn't really matter what they do with the tags, it's fairly straightforward to build your own tags, or modify tags, that bypass any stalking detection. A phone's stalking detection…
Story to share - my kids are well into her their teens now, but my youngest, in particular, loved Tux Paint, and used it long before she could read, she'd just click away. One day, she's playing in Tux Paint, and a…
I have been buying Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes for 20 years. My first pair, they were just on sale, so I bought them. When they wore out, I bought a different brand/design. And I noticed that I was wearing the…

In my experience, no, but still worth doing. You end up finding and chatting (often off-mesh!) with people who are within Lora-mesh-distance of you, who have similar interests.
Maybe a centralized Op Ed page?
Like my primary storage, with the old storage in a sub folder. There's still a WP51 folder in there somewhere...
