Games for the original Game Boy are actually the only games I play nowadays and I use the original hardware (with IPS screen mod which is amazing) - why? Several reasons: games are simple but fun and often quite challenging, they don't

Based on common sense - how many people want to waste 1 or 2 hours each day on commute when they could spend it better in so many ways? Or maybe I'm out of touch and people don't value their free time as much as I thought..

It's funny how these big companies try so hard to make their office space as "cool" as possible and think employees enjoy them but the moment they are given the choice to work remotely almost nobody wants to go back to office

Pricing of AWS services makes me uneasy in general, just take the S3 as an example - you go to the pricing page and you have several tabs with dozens of entries which makes calculating how much exactly will you pay difficult. I might be sim

I'm disgusted by the whole real estate market, people buying dozens of apartments and houses just to rent them - and hence increasing prices for people who just want something on their own instead of making rich people richer - is dest

I've tried using VS Code after years of coding in Sublime Text but quickly returned to ST - VSC just felt so slow, bloated, sluggish and overall unpleasent that all other features didn't matter because it simply made writing code

I've "rediscovered" cereal with milk after a long time and it became my favourite "default" breakfast - fast to prepare, nutritious, healthy (if you choose the right cereal) and easy to diversify. I highly recommend

Game Boy Classic was my first (and only) console and I actually use it quite often nowadays, usually to play Tetris in bed before sleep. I love it because it does one thing only, batteries last a looong time, games are simple but fun and ch

I don't know how many of you watched this show back in the day or even remember it, but the website has been created around 1998 and it's still online in its original form! Similar case as the old-school Space Jam website, a blast

I've played SS2 for the first time last year and there were parts that scared the shit out of me, I had to take breaks just to cool off - ambience in this game is absolutely amazing! Nowadays I rarely pick up new games let alone finish

Tibia was absolutely HUGE in my country (Poland) around 2002 and it was my first and last major experience with MMO. I remember it was the only time back then I voluntarily woke up early in the morning long before the school because the ser

In my 15 years of professional work I spent 2 years having to use Java with GWT framework and it was the most horrible, deprived of any joy, experience in my career that left me completely burned out and since then I absolutely hate Java an

I've never stopped using jQuery, it makes everything so much easier to work with. I've built large web apps using only jQuery and never had any problems, I just really like direct DOM manipulation instead of some abstractions and

When I was daily driving an old Mercedes SLK roadster, every trip - no matter how long or short, in traffic or not - was fun. I owned that car for 6 years and for the whole time of ownership it always made me smile just thinking about going

This reminded by about a vinyl album that I own from 1987 called "Poniżej krytyki" by a Polish synthpop band Papa Dance that contains a program for ZX Spectrum on both sides of the record. According to instructions on the album it

This made me realize that my default expectations for anything tech related are very low and when something works the way it should, I'm amazed... I guess it should be the other way around. The amount of bullshit I have to deal with al

I can't wrap my head around Apple customers, most of the people I know that use mainly Apple products had a surprisingly amount of major issues with them but continued to buy Apple stuff only, it's like an addiction.. For example

I play Tetris on a Game Boy Classic quite often (on "hardcore" mode, starts from level 19), it's an absolutely timeless game, I use the same cartridge that I've owned for ~30 years now and it still works flawlessly :-)

I feel like the tech in general is getting user-hostile... Everyone (websites, apps, cars, tvs, etc.) wants to track you and collect as much data as possible, websites nag you to install app on your phone, dark patterns everywhere, "s

I had Netflix for a brief moment and all their original series felt really dull, I couldn't find one that would hook me for longer than several episodes, I was almost forcing myself to watch them - I much prefer old stuff, maybe not so

That's ridiculous, I'm from Europe, I like moving around city in a car and I don't mind other cars, but a) there should be only underground parking lots; b) there should be bike lanes everywhere where there are roads; c) park

The 110CT model is relatively fast with a 233MHz processor so the overhead isn't an issue from what I tested so far (BBS over SSH).

Yes they are getting really expensive and hard to find, I looked for over a year to find one in a decent shape and top specs, paid a lot but it was a dream of mine for a long time.

I'm in the process of turning my Toshiba Libretto 110CT (a subnotebook from 1998) into a simple remote terminal (over ssh) with custom server software to handle emails, rss feeds, chats and so on. It runs under FreeDOS and connects to
