Did it have that tiny rollerball on the side?

We bought a bunch of TabWorks-based Compaqs back then for a medical office where I was doing IT work. I thought it was slick at the time.

Love it. Maximize skeuomorphic design.

Yes. But. Just like long-enduring CEOs of increasing disrupt-able enterprises, long-lived politicians accumulate obligations to their donors in a manner that limits their policy latitude.

Sadly, such long-tenured politicians also happen to be old. The old-ness is mostly not actually the problem. It is the constraints.

I am missing any clues about your definition of out-of-touch.

I played Panzer Dragoon on an NV1-based Diamond Multimedia card at CES in January 1996. nVIDIA gave me an nV1 t-shirt at the time, which I wore periodically for the next 10 years.

Phew!

Chat Control and backdoors.

It is an argument that is baldly non-nonsensical, but the Justice Department is not going to complain.

Corruption?

Yes. They announced they were skipping C.

Epic fail incoming?

Trucking never had a labor shortage. It has institutional underpayment of non-union foreign workers to skirt US labor law.

I can think of one media outlet for whom this would be an upgrade to its accuracy.

I was angry at the wasted 30 seconds of opening licensed 3rd party software listings, but I stayed through to the end of the credits roll, laughing until I cried.

This is Art.

I feel bad for the post-apocalypse folks who won't be able to find any dry, solid fuel to burn.

I disagree. I think many of the audio elements are highly believable for lay people.

Photopea is a great tool. I am sorry about the ripoff by PhotoSuite.

March, 1989: Time and Warner announce merger, Paramount launches hostile bid for Time. January, 1990: Time responds by buying Warner Communications for $14 billion.

...Paramount sulks, and bides its time....

The patents are violatable now.

Huawei likely wants to manufacture global-market devices with the technology immediately, and have the technology baked into the devices at the time of patent expiration.

All of the early 90s were colored with his take on things.

Oh my. This set of principles is appropriate for malware.

Represence.

Missouri Governor Mike Parson publicly labeled St. Louis Post-Dispatch journalist Josh Renaud a "hacker" for such a "breach." He launched a multi-month criminal investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, threatening criminal and civil prosecution. My take was that such action was idiotic. Renaud was never charged.

AI agents are going to find things that you put on the public Internet without authentication. If you put sensitive things in there, you have created an AI-attractive-nuisance (IMHO/IANAL).

Thank you for the Wayback Machine. It is immensely powerful for good.

Security-yolo-clowns play with dangerous toys and hurt people. Many used to get sent to jail.

Their solution is to drive demand for domestically-produced oil at ever increasing volumes and prices.

I agree that the idea that some number of teleporting ships scales past the ability to bring enough chaotic asteroids to bear on them seems like a design problem. For me, that was six ships on wave 14. The field is rapidly emptied of threats.

How can OpenAI figure out how to be trustworthy?

Um. Apple?

I am grateful that the devs and their commitment to continuously improving the game have long left those people behind.

The gameplay is completely engaging and this update looks like it fills in even more spaces than were hoped for.
