I remember saving a lot of allowance so i could buy the Multiface One for the ZX Spectrum. Instant hacking and saving possibilities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiface

Yup. Building turrets as fast as possible to the enemy base while harvesting a lot of spice and continuously repairing the turrets you build around was an awesome way to win fast.

Not really anyones fault. Thanks to endless enshittification, relentless advertising and the current 'AI' some people may have become to behave like this even if your intention was good.

No worries that processed data might profile you in a bad way in the forseeable future?

Exactly. It's extremely annoying.

"Can I disable all data collection from my vehicle? Vehicle connectivity is a core feature .. blah blah blah" I absolutely hate these kind of answers. I understand why the answer is written that way, but i truly hate it to the cor

If fuel or any other form of energy becomes virtually limitless and free, any form of matter will eventually also be kinda limitless and free. Could take longer than humanity will ever last though. In the 'short' and current term

There is (eventually) no more profit to be made on energy when energy becomes virtually limitless. There is (still) a lot of profit to be made on half-baked semi-AGI prospects.

"That would be an incredibly short-sighted move." Yes, but it has not stopped several companies to implement stuff like this to get more money.

Kinda depends on what your position and circle of influence is. I will admit that sometimes the circle of influence seems bigger than expected though.

I've had the privilege to have been more than half a century on this planet and my experience has not been super great regarding being vulnerable. It takes great skill to not have it mentally affect you. Even if you get ten thousand po

What a privilige it must be to be able to have a job where you can stand up and leave when your psyche can't handle it. Ever done tech support for ten hours a day? :)

I agree with Rich Hickey in that. I use Debian a lot, but i am fully aware i am not entitled to any sort of free support when things don’t go i want them to go. I get what i pay for. If i want things to go my way i will have to make the eff

To some annoyance of my wife and kids, i like to plant all kinds of seeds in little pots to see if i can make it grow. One kind of success (for me) is a 1m25 / 50 inch tall avocado which is in a big pot now. Took some years. I am worki

I use a cheap alternative to the 3-2-1 rule[1]. I use a mini pc with small smb shares (less than 1 TB). This thing is on 24/7, but runs energy efficient. When it's time to move data, i copy it to a Synology NAS that holds lots of

Way back in the previous century my dad once told me that corporate had purchased a thermal fax machine for his department. He hated it and wished it would stop working. So i asked for its number and sent it lots of completely black picture

You are absolutely right that they are just licenses and there always be a risk i cannot download or play the games anymore because of some decision. In that perspective Gog is absolutely the best. No doubt about that. But so far, Steam has

That's true. There is indeed absolutely no need to use Gog Galaxy.

The Epic Games store/browser is awful. I have bought one (insanely discounted) game on it and get all the free games, because i like to collect videogames. But i almost never play them, because the application is super slow. Steam has

2nd hand "Windows" computers are way way cheaper and are pretty easy to put some distro on. You can pretty much cleanse them from any Microsoft taint and use them for lots of purposes.

Fun product, but not for me. We've given the kids old iPhones when they reached the age of 12 and they have been known we can check anything and everything on their phone. Each and every email is cc'ed to us and we log what we can

I still love to revive old hardware and push it beyond it limits. Mostly because i think it's fun, but also because it's dirt cheap or free. Back then made an old GPS system play Monkey Island or mp3's or read E-books. Reinst

Somehow sometimes it's not so easy, for me at least. Not that i care about the number, but more that it wasn't beneficial or i offended someone.
