Good suggestion. Our local Home Depot rents these as well.

If I remember correctly, Microsoft experimented with something like this years ago. I tried to find a link but no luck. As I recall it focused on stitching together user-uploaded photos to create a panoramic view of a location over time.

Yep, that sounds dumb. Organic waste should be used for fertilizer.

Is this like nuclear waste that has to be stored in caves? Or can you actually do something constructive with these bricks?

They will probably hang on to Windows 10 as they wait to see if Windows 12 is better or worse.

Nope. They are annoying but they don’t sting humans.

I’d say the reboot falls apart about 2/3 of the way through. The last cylon reveals felt very Lost/Lindelof where they’d painted themselves into a corner and hadn’t planned out the ending.

That looks amazing. Makes me wonder why they didn’t sell a monitor like this back in the day.

Portal! Wish I’d remembered that one for my list. Such an inventive game.

• Yars revenge on Atari 2600.
• Kaboom on 2600.
• Pitfall on 2600.
• Myst on classic Mac.
• Dark Castle classic Mac.
• Diablo 1.
• Star Wars Dark Forces.
• That weird Ayn Rand utopia in the sky Bioshock sequel on any platform.
• The Star Wars Battlefront game that came out around rogue one on Xbox until the developer started tweaking with it and it became a griefer’s paradise.
• Gauntlet arcade and home versions. So fun to play as co-op.
• Ms Pac Man arcade.
• Tempest arcade.

And a shout out to Arashi, which was a great classic mac homage to Tempest.

Why is Google determined to kill one of its cash cows? Cramming AI into search results feels like “New Coke”.

Strange. This looks like a decent evolution of the previous game, with a built-in audience.

Could’ve sworn Data was built specifically to be that way because the prior model unnerved people, and also conspired to kill an entire camp of federation colonists.

I use one of those Sun thru Sat pill containers. I have one color for morning, the other for night. I keep all pill bottles I am currently taking in one box/basket and I use them to refill the dispensers once a week.

Anything I am not currently taking is in a separate box in a cabinet on the top shelf. Or, if it’s expired or I know I’m not taking it ever again, I dispose of it at the local Walgreens that has a “secure pill trash can” just for this purpose.

Wah. Wah. Wah.

Lenses also gave us telescopes and microscopes. Pretty amazing discovery.

You’d think evolutionary, there would be at least some green mammals to help them blend into the plant life around them. Like bunnies hiding in bushes, or monkeys in trees. I suppose shades of brown work similarly in the same situations.

I know some predators don’t see color the same way humans do — could the lack of green and dominance of brown have something to do with seeing motion, or heat, or something else we don’t see?

Depends on the part of Texas you’re in. Texas is a very large state.

They’ve made a lot of good peripherals like keyboards, mice, joysticks. Xbox one used to support Kinect and TV tuners which was nice.

The surface line has been interesting, and I’d be tempted to buy one if they didn’t come with Windows 11 (I need to look up if you can install Win 10 on the newer ones).

They came out with some wild stuff during the Sidekick phone days like Microsoft Kin and Zune. But honestly current management doesn’t seem to be interested in anything but boring but profitable software services (like Xbox game pass) that they can charge a subscription for.

Edit: I wish Zelifcam hadn’t deleted his comments. They were good questions/conversation.
