Yeah, I miss those days, I would actively browse the "Top 50" of the different categories and find cool new stuff (especially games). I really miss that time period of when I got the 3GS and this stuff was all new and _actually g

I remember when it was a news headline that Apple showed ads _at all_ in App Store. It's sad that they're straying even further into scummy ways to nickel-and-dime every ounce of profit they can get out of everyone using their pr

What a poorly-built site. There is a cookie banner covering a popover solicitation for donations, covering an inset photo/caption which itself is covered by a cookie banner (wtf?) ... closed the tab.

Yeah, Linux should run very well on them, and of course you'll be able to have all the up-to-the-minute latest software, as sad as it is to lose out on the nice OS that worked so well on those machines.

Gaming on Linux is so good now I know multiple people who switched their gaming PC to Linux and have no intention of going back. Then there's Steam Deck, which has 3million+ users alone. 3.6% of Steam users are playing on Linux[0], w

Yeowch, for my old MBPs (Core 2 duo I want to say) I run Mint and have had no problems. Maybe just luck of the draw but I've been really impressed

Yeah I think this is what OS X does (or used to do), you open the menu and it does its initial refresh, and only after quite some delay of the menu being open, it refreshes again. Easy enough to choose your network in that large amount of

How does licensing work for Live? Would they necessarily have been able to update to a version that supports 64-bit? For instance, I have a few different machines that I will never update the OS on because I would then lose access to soft

I used to concede that yeah, Linux is more hassle than the average person is going to feel like dealing with, but at this point, Windows is so damn bad that you could grab literally any Linux distro and have an easier time with it, and even

Oh, on the other hand I'm actually totally surprised there was a new post on the homepage as recently as Dec 14th! Huge kudos to everyone still keeping the awesomeness alive.

Heck yeah. Remember when new games came out and you were actually genuinely surprised/impressed, over and over? For years in a row? Those were great times indeed. Sure, there were a lot of crappy games, but overall there were so ma

Nice! As someone who built hundreds of sites using the whole "slice a PSD into a table-based layout with 1 or more arbitrary content regions" technique in the early 2000's, I totally agree this is a really nice design indeed
