I have a few 2015 laptops, the last time the apple logo lights up like it damn well should, (and their operating systems are still getting updates almost a decade later) ipods and an iphone 6 I’ve fixed, apple TV because it was cheap enough. all told I’m in it for less than the cost of a new macbook and apple hasn’t got a cent yet. I have an imac from 2008 I found on the side of the road that actually needs linux but a computer of that vintage in 2008 would be a paperweight at best, the fact it’s still useful as a computer at all is astonishing to me.

a lot of early 2000s 2600 homebrews would probably make my list but Thrust+ is the GOAT

The studio cash grab explosion of streaming services is simply too inconvenient.
Subbing to everything you want to watch would still be cheaper than renting it all before streaming.
But Netflix has changed the value proposition and the stuidios are slitting their own throats trying to catch up.

any bias that doesn’t confirm my bias is reverse bias

but it’s not like our posts are safe here either. This is the world we live in now.

You can’t tell me what to do, you’re not my real Wendy’s

I can never keep a straight face so deadpan is my go to brand of humour

I tried being self deprecating but people don’t like humour that punches down

but speaking English is fine …

Pirates of the Caribbean it was pointed out Bootstap was strapped to a cannon and dropped into the sea but the logical conclusion that by lifting the curse Will had to kill his own father was never a plot point. not exactly a plot hole just a missed opportunity.
