I was about to buy it on Steam and it turns out that it is free if you already own the originals. Sweet!

It’s porn.

It’s always porn that decides if a technology lives or dies.

This leads to the question of where I can find rule 34 of this.

Each new technology immediately raises two questions: how do we destroy it and how do we use it for destruction.

Maybe its because Cameron is not one of my favorite directors. I love T2, of course but I can’t say the same about Titanic because (you guessed it) I still have not watched it and also didn’t buy into the hype when it was released. I remember that movie theaters were booked solid for weeks and you couldn’t get a ticket. No movie is that good or justifies that kind of hype, so I have skipped it so far.

It is sad to see the mental gymnastics people do to justify their inertia.

“It’s opt-in!”

“You can disable feature X easily by editing the registry”

“You can install this tool from a shifty site to restore that feature MS disabled”

Am I the only one here that has never seen it or understands what the hype is about?

I can live with that.

Somehow I’m pretty sure Google already had that information. You’ve never used Google Wallet to pay on the go? No? How about your Android keyboard to fill in some banking form?

Best of luck. Cheers.

Have a look at what came before Symbian : Psion series 5

In the end, when the Series 5 finally shipped, it was like being transported into the future, only through a very murky tunnel.

Gretton’s hardware clocked in at a meagre-sounding 18Mhz — but performed like a desktop Intel PC from just two years previously — and it could still maintain 30 hours use on two AA batteries. Once the circuitry was complete, the Series 5 performed the same tasks as its Windows CE rivals but used only a quarter of the power.

I still have two working Psion 5MX palmtops and love them to death.

I was very happy with The Print Shop. You could print huge signs and banners by stitching smaller pages together. Fun times.

It’s not a new phenomena, but it seems to be growing.

I remember when perfectly functional scanners and printers were ditched because the new Windows version would not support them and the vendor would not provide OEM drivers either.

Nowadays they unplug some servers and you are left with an expensive doorstop. That’s progress, I guess.

It perfectly describes their contribution to this reality. Thank you.

Depending on the aquifer the water temperature at the spring can be really cold, even in the warmest days.

You never actually drank from a natural spring, have you?

To me it is the inverse of socializing. It’s an escape to a world where I don’t have to deal with people.

Faraway 1, 2 and 3.

Really chill first person puzzle game.

There was the Homebrew Channel back then, but it seemed to have gone offline. I assumed people just lost interest and moved on.

Based on what you said I did a quick search and found that there’s still an active community around the console, so thank you!

I’m updating my Homebrew Browser to see what’s new.

Any platform that restricts how and what I can run in it has inherently less value to me. This is why I mostrly avoided consoles all my life.

The only console I bought was the original Wii. The games were extremely expensive, and they disabled all the services that made the console useful after a few years (weather channel, news channel, store).

Fortunately I added a few SNES, PCEngine, Genesis/Megadrive and Gamecube emulators otherwise I would now have a very pretty white doorstop.
