What a horrible idea.

One of these things is not like the other.

There was me, scanning away trying to find actual technical reasons and then...

Bang. It's political.

Opinion discarded.

Yeah, but you've got to admit, the baddies are always dressed better. That's got a serious Hugo Boss aesthetic.

Think of the fun you could have in the workplace with a pair of these.

Never thought it could be the monitor. I have an HP dock with an HP laptop for work and it's totally unreliable waking from sleep.

My chances of getting new monitors are slim in this climate but it's a new avenue of investigation at least.

I stopped buying consoles after the PS3 and the PS Vita, with the exception of an Anbernic Cube XX.

Nowadays if I game at all it's PS1 and SNES classics on the Cube XX.

My company: Use AI! Use AI!

No wait

Sony actually allowed "OtherOS" until Geohot screwed it up for everybody and they locked it down.

I had this idea myself a few years back for less grubby, more subversive purposes. But, typical me, I never followed through with it.

For me, the Atari ST, the Commodore +/4, the Commodore 64 etc. I am saddened that the Dragon 32 never made it onto the silver screen.

She had me for the first 300 milliseconds. Very funny.

At work, yeah, fine I guess. Outside of work? No way. And I don't mind being called a Luddite, I know what I am.

Gattaca was such a good film.

I remember when Amazon did something similar with the kindle maybe a decade ago, I was livid. I vowed never to own a Kindle and bought a Kobo and installed Koreader on it.

I hear this today, and now I just shrug. I'm past caring and I hate that.

The OG live distro. This thing saved my butt on multiple occasions. I haven't even thought about it in a decade.

I feel a bit bad about that.

No it didn't

This is gloriously bonkers.

I don't think many people realize how far ahead the Archimedes was at the time.

I got to borrow one from school for the entire summer holidays - a friend and I manhandled the beast to my house - and I spent six glorious weeks with it.

I'd love to find one but I expect they're hard to find.

I disabled it last week - I'll just do stuff by hand. At least if I mess it up I know who to blame.

Please, stop using the word British for the English. Welshmen are not English, the English are not Scottish.

English politeness is not necessarily a feature of our Celtic brother and sister's national character.

I'm not a greenie by any stretch of the imagination but I'm a strong believer in Repair, Re-use, Recycle.

I'm writing this comment on a Lenovo Yoga I bought for $10 and fixed up. It's a quad core with 4GB of soldered RAM and a 128GB SSD but I slapped CachyOS on it and it works for nearly anything I want to do when I'm out and about. The battery lasts me about 3 1/2 hours. I've picked up CRT monitors for virtually nothing and they work just fine.

We throw things away too easily.

There's also a subreddit for international pen friends for adults. It jives with their fountain pen subreddit pretty well.

I don't think that word means what Anthropic thinks it means.

Gaming is more than viable on a Linux PC these days.

I'm using CachyOS with a PS2 controller or mouse and keyboard. I had to do virtually zero tinkering.

I played the shit outta this on the Atari ST. Happy times.

My first was when I was arguing with the IT guy about local shells on their big iron at Uni.

I told him it was a risk to let dumbasses like us have a shell on his server. He said we couldn't do anything, that they were unprivileged accounts.

"Watch this", says I, as his machine froze.

I got in so much trouble for that. I hope you can't do that kind of thing any more.

Well, he'd know I guess.

Why does it have to be a Mac Mini? I use a repurposed HP Elitedesk 800 Mini from a decade ago for OpenClaw and it works just fine. Cost me maybe $50 US.

It's like managing a team of 6-8 year olds.

Put that down! What are you doing? Don't put that in your mouth. Where are you going? Stop that! Why are you sitting there alone, Johnny?
