Drag queens are not a danger to society.

White supremacists are a danger to society.

That is the real reason why I need a 16-core CPU ;)

My old Sinclair computers kept moving around and getting dinged on office shelves. So I’ve now decided they are art. They are currently on a desk for a month, just in case the 3M strips don’t hold. #retrogaming #ZXSpectrum

i'm beginning to think that the computing world is composed of two groups, old timers (like me) and super-onliners, and both of us are looking at what each other is doing and going "jesus christ that looks complicated, screw that"

Medusa forgets to disable facial recognition and ruins another iPhone. She tosses it into a drawer with all the other rocks. There’s nothing to be done about it. Everyone’s already dead at the Genius Bar.

Today is the 82nd birthday of Jerry Lawson (died 2011). He is the inventor of the first commercial video game console with CPU processor (Fairchild Channel F). So it could play software as we still know it today. However, the console Atari 2600, which was launched one year later, was much more successful and sold 100 times better.

#MyFirstComputer - technically my dad's first computer, but let's not split hairs. The IBM Aptiva 2144, a 486 system which originally came with Windows 3.1. By the time I used it, it'd been upgraded to Windows 95.

Our original one is long gone, unfortunately - would love to get hold of another.
