Quake III Arena also had a native Linux version.

And Quake, Quake 2, Descent, UT, Tribes 2.

The iPod was so derivative of the creative labs mp3 player that Apple ultimately had to pay them $100 million.

The Lisa and later the Macintosh copied from xerox. Something that everyone was doing around then. Amiga and Atari ST both had guis. Hell even the commodore 64 had Geos. The Mac didn’t even get color until 1987.

Handspring had a smart phone, complete with touch screen and apps, years before the iPhone.

Mac os didn’t have proper multitasking until version 7.5, years after Windows had it.

Onkyo created the first true wireless earbuds.

Doesn’t Australia include the tax in the listed price of the item instead of adding it at the end?

Steam deck 2: episode 2

Which makes the lack of an android app all the more shitty. They have one already but refuse to make it available if the device isn’t connected to a TV.

Then you get into the actual layout of the program. Spoilers are a huge issue. I can’t watch a game later without having the game ruined partially. Sure you can switch off scores, but you still have to scroll through game highlights to get to the full match replay.

Or sometimes an ID10T error.

My first install was also slackware around the same time, but I just bought it from the computer store I worked at. Pat was an occasional customer, who sometimes brought in home brewed beer for the technicians.

I’m a 53 year old IT person, and I’m leaning towards 1. The level of technology incompetence in the general public is astounding. My wife only knows “Have you tried turning it off and back on again?” And that pretty much makes her a member of the help desk at her job.

I remember in the 70s the London bus schedules had a disclaimer on them that said something like “just because we publish this schedule doesn’t mean that the buses will follow it, or that they will run at all.”

We got proof of that when the bus driver of the last bus of the night decided that his shift was over and kicked everyone off the bus and went home half way through the route, leaving us stranded miles from our destination.

There are HDMI cables that are basically HDMI to fiber tranceivers. The HDMI plug draws power from the HDMI port to use active components to convert to a fiber signal.

I think mostly people buy disposables because they don’t know how 510 batteries work. Or sometimes the strain you want is only available as a disposable.

I don’t like disposables because I’ve ran out of battery when 1/3 if the product was left. I’ve switched to concentrates and a vape that handles them.

I had a few where the battery died while there was still stuff to vape in it. Doubly wasteful. I then switched to a concentrate vape and buying live rosin/resin

I’m a hopeless romantic.

You’re just hopeless.

Like naming a star.

Jack Daniels tastes like perfume.

Evan Williams is significant better.

I got it (I got it) I got it

I got your number on the wall

I got it (I got it) I got it

For a good time, for a good time call

Until what? Until Russia is a dictatorship? That ship sailed a long time ago.

See, they really do all look alike. /s

The new brothers also work fine with chrome os.

It all started when they removed “Don’t be evil” from their mission statement.
