Man, I would love to get a replacement gear for my early days electronic eject external Macintosh 3.5" floppy drive made in stone instead of plastic. Heck yeah!

I wish we could get the great new PROLED XDR screen w/o touch (if that saved $$) so we could take advantage of the new brightness/contrast and not worry about gestures on the glass.

I've been seeing this photo all over the place recently.

AKA non-foldable Duo.

Even quicker solution, and on 7Mhz. Use an Amiga.

I bet a lot of people have been doing this conversion work independently on one-off AI-assisted personal projects this year. But now someone made a thing so all those tokens (and time) can be saved!

Now for someone to make another one of these converters for webapps to become Mac apps. That would be nice, too. =) (Now I wonder if it has already been done…?)

Aww, original "Lamp" G4 iMac vibes. (and therefore Pixar)

Got nostalgic just looking at it.

I don't know why exactly but something about the arrows feel repulsive and oddly gross.

Washington needs to adopt this policy as well. I have a neighbor who moved 3 houses down a few years ago who brought 4 cars with her from Montana and never registered any of them.

It's... ridiculous.

With emoji for the bullets, natch.

I hate how some sites now (including NASA's) make finding the article text a mystery in its own right.

There's also the video version... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4zGLSlLo5A

Actually his real worry is the lack of any kind of oversight and regulation - that the inmates are allowed to police themselves.

I know most folks think of other films, but his performance in Ridley Scott's Legend as the grumble-cackling lust driven red-faced demon is a core memory for me. Grew up watching and admiring that film and especially Mr. Curry's portrayal of that character so many times. Because of him.

I smell Amiga, especially if it is "designed to run Workbench."

Only available via that link in the UK or Ireland for £55.00. Quick jump over to Ebay US? $189.62 (And FedEx will have a word after they deliver it.)

US, for now, can keep getting the unconnected F91W $25 lookalike. IIRC, the F-91W has a really small strap. Almost a "ladies watch" size.

Vibration is precisely what made me sell my brand new (sold out) Pebble watch. No matter the firmware or options (un)chosen, it would randomly vibrate at odd times of the day. Couldn't stand the constant distractions.

Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U back on my wrist where it belongs.

Except for live sports, for which it is still vastly superior - no subscription required.

It does a pretty good job. But to be honest I don't use that feature often. I also have the keyboard for it but don't use that often, either. I really mainly use it as a notebook.

This is why I use a reMarkable tablet for my notes. I noticed a few years ago that when I wrote down my notes I actually remembered them more easily. Something about the hand/brain connection helped etch my thoughts more deeply.

I still use Apple Notes, but more as a place to store copy/paste info I want to save or checklists. But for meeting or game design notes? Writing those down 100%.

GPT is missing a beat

Is it not a clone of Puzzmo's 'Ribbit' game?

UI drag/drop is a little clunky at times, but I love the overall vibe. Doesn’t really feel like a daily game, though. Feels more like it is being shoehorned into that model rather than just being a solo Game Game (like Tetris).

What I mean is as a player, I'll likely not notice the difference in a Friday puzzle vs a Thursday puzzle. And I can replay to my hearts content anyway. So why not simply randomize the board on each replay? Which I'd do anyway.

I'll be trying this out on my 500Mhz Powerbook Pismo running 9.2 tonight!

There are several phones that fit the description, but I was thinking specifically of the Sonim XP3plus 5G.

The skepticism isn't around the concept (for some) - it's the bonkers $500 price tag when you can go get a 5G military grade waterproof flip phone with a very robust removable battery and much more impressive tech/stats for $200.

My wife and I got a flip phone for our daughter when she was in elementary school. It was inexpensive, allowed her to text us when on the school bus - gave us the connection we all needed. About a year later the pull of a phone that could run Spotify won, but for that year the flip phone really was great. And cheap.

I'm not familiar with the OS on this phone, but it sounds interesting.

But $500? Really? DOA

Did this story really get flagged by some anti-Commodore Gen-Xer? Can't we bury the hatchet with Atarians by now? Lord have mercy.
