I loved the 2600 because that was all we could afford when I was a kid. I liked the ColecoVision and Intellivision graphics better though. Luckily, some of my friends had both.

Try a Couch to 5K program. You start off mostly walking and slowly increase the amount of running. There are a bunch of great phone and watch apps. I like Watch to 5K for the Apple Watch (one-time purchase, no subscription).

Found the El Guapo fan.

Scary. Thanks for posting this.

VR

Amazing game!

It doesn’t show up on Usenet. It seems to be displaying results for some other (more modern) show. If you don’t mind some ads, it’s on Pluto.

Except for the occasional Lemmy break.

What do they think of technology (in general) and technology companies now? What types of companies were the first to buy computers? Any funny stories about annoying users?

My experience with the Bluetooth on PC is that it was a bit flakey. That may have improved in the last few years though. I ran into a couple of games where it wouldn’t work on BT but worked fine via the wireless adapter.

The most reliable that I’ve found is an Xbox controller connected via the Wireless Xbox Adapter. I’m not sure they make it anymore though. You will probably have to buy a used one (if interested).

I believe SpaceInvaderOne is considered one of the best at explaining the setup:

I’m from the Deep South, so I can say this - the name scares me!

Not to mention that the majority party in the house has done nothing but fight with each other and try to impeach Biden.

After all that work and documentation?! I say stick with Open Garage!

Ordered two Ratgdos yesterday. Hopefully the wait isn’t too long.

My Precious,

Nasty, tricksy apologies, we must give. Yes, yesss, we must, my precious. We’s been naughty, we has, with our previous letter about our precious game ‘Gollum.’ We’s sorry, oh yes, very, very sorry.

Nasty, precious feedback we got, and we knows it’s true. We takes it back, oh yes, we does. We wants to make our precious ‘Gollum’ better, we does, for all the good players out there.

We promises, my precious, to make it right. Changes and fixes, we’ll bring them, oh yes, we will. We’ll listen to our precious players and make it better, we will.

Forgive us, my precious, for our earlier mistake. We didn’t mean to hurt you, no, not at all. We loves our precious players, we does, and we’ll make ‘Gollum’ shine, just for you.

Thank you, my precious, for being patient. We’ll make it better, we swears.

There’s also a big problem with North Carolina’s laws regarding the maintenance of roads. I’m not 100% sure this is the case, but I’d be willing to bet it is. Most other states require developers to get the road certified and adopted by the State Department of Transportation before any homes are sold. In NC, the developer can do this afterward (and they sometimes don’t do it at all). Our neighborhood association found this out the hard way. Over ten years after the first house was sold, we called the DOT for a road repair and were told that our road wasn’t covered. It was because of one form that wasn’t filled out and filed with the State. The crazy thing is that the road is considered a public road (you can’t treat it as private) and the state will not maintain it until you get it certified. If your road has degraded in that time, then you have to pay to get it back up to near-new quality before they will take it over.

Now imagine that instead of just a road to repair, it’s also a road and a bridge. Is the HOA going to be able to raise the money to pay for a bridge repair? Pay for a proper barrier? This type of basic infrastructure should be handled by the state government.

Side political rant- a bill to change these laws has been in committee for years. I don’t think it has ever made it to a vote.

I like Unraid for the server operating system. It is a paid product but very easy to use. You can run all of the ‘arr’ apps in docker. The docker installs are done from their Community Apps store.

Use your watch. Just Press Record is a great option for iOS. No subscription, just a one-time payment.
