Do you think the system might have been called Algot?

Does it really matter if people don't want to buy old furniture?

Chances are, when I buy the $200 IKEA chair, I have no idea about the chairs that inspired it. I buy it because I like it and can afford it. It doesn't particularly bother me that there is a nicer version of it out there for more mon

Some would be hard for them to make at a reasonable price today and they wouldn't sell in big numbers at a higher price. Adam Savage recently posted a video about his favorite IKEA cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch

It depends too on what you value. I’d be more than happy to pay a premium if it meant the time for me looking for a flight and having a seat booked is drastically reduced. We used to get that through the services of a travel agency. Maybe w

I guess it depends on whether or not the committee members plan on visiting the US anytime soon.

Do you have to trust it? Have the AI built a list of all the invoices it can find in your email then a separate application reconciles that against your statements. The AI might miss something or invent something, but the mismatch list you

Surely a display of similar specs made today would draw a fraction of the power the similar panel from 1983 did, no?

The display worked better 40 years ago. They lose contrast and responsiveness with age. My favorite calculator is an HP-28s and it too has become slow and hard to see.

A low-res display would be fine. In fact the same display as the original Model 100 would be great. A sibling mentioned e-ink and that might be ideal. With a fast enough CPU and race-to-sleep scheduling, the machine would mostly be in a low

Maybe you can answer this then. Back in the early 80’s, Radio Shack made the TRS-80 Model 100 laptop. It ran for 20+ hours on 4 AA batteries. A few years later, Psion came out with a series of small devices that ran on 2 AA batteries and go

I use Plex for that and it works great. I'm going to check out VLC though. Thanks for the tip. One other app that I had and forgot about is some remote play client for Steam. I start Steam on my desktop PC then pair my PS5 remote to th

Are the AI improvements of the past few years going to lead to advances in self driving cars? How close are we to where a robot could get into a car from 2010 and drive me around?

Yeah, the Apple TV would be my suggestion as well even if it's your only Apple device. Other than streaming service apps (Netflix, Hulu, etc...) I think the only app I've installed is Tailscale. It's a great device that is sl

The problem with showing the local ads is that they sometimes only pay for rights for a certain region. If they hire musicians for the jingle and the audience is only NYC, then the fee would generally be less than if it were for a global au

That's my biggest complaint as well. The MLB streaming service needs to have an everything tier. I understand that teams want to sell rights locally, but figure it out. Charge me whatever you need to charge me and share the revenue wit

Probably because the LTV is at least an order of magnitude more than you are estimating. GM dropped CarPlay support from some of their vehicles. They think subscription revenue is going to be at least $20 billion / year.

I think it's 75% Microsoft's fault with modern sleep. They want the machine to go into a low power state rather than sleep so that it can still receive email and other notifications just like a phone does. But since the thermals a

Doesn't ctrl-end jump to the bottom row of the spreadsheet? Ctrl-down arrow will jump to the last cell in the current column. On a Mac it's cmd rather than ctrl I believe.

The web version of Apple Numbers is pretty good although I suppose it doesn't meet your non-big-tech criteria.

As someone who has been buying Think Pads for the past 20 years, Lenovo needs to spend more time working on thermals anyway. If I don't power my laptop down before stuffing it in my backpack, I'll have a hot, almost dead machine b
