I haven't read Castaneda since I was in high school. I wonder how different I would feel about those books if I read them now. What would you say the deep flaws of that series were?

Animated banner ads were something I adapted to completely ignore during my time on the web 20 years ago. After that, a decade of ad-blockers softened my calluses and now when I see an animated banner ad on a news site I begin to twitch and

I regularly switch between the Quest and the PSVR2. The Quest has a whole system running on your forehead, while the PSVR2 is always-wired, and leverages the PS5 for compute. The difference in weight is phenomenal. I would absolutely love t
