And here I was hoping that Microsoft taking over the market for 'Slack' would mean that those guys would go back to working for Tiny Speck and they would bring Glitch back online.
Apple has never been capable of a clean rewrite. The culture there isn't capable of 'inventing' something that big, and NIH is the holy gospel. They tried to write a new preemptive multitasking OS to replace the hoary old pascal-based MacOS when MacOS 9 was growing long in the tooth. Pink/Taligent was a disaster. They failed so badly that Jobs had to come back and take over with the Unix derived workalike from NeXT, which notably was developed OUTSIDE the Apple fogzone.
It's really a pity they didn't go with BeOS instead. That was some fresh new design, again from people who had escaped the Apple fogzone.
True, but 'brick and mortar' electronic components have suffered the same way as other retail. DigiKey has almost anything you could imagine wanting and they ship fast.
To my way of seeing it, Musk's move is really creepy. It's one plutocrat talking to another plutocrat about the uppity 'help' needing a yank on the leash.
I think I know why the Mac is foundering. All the most slavish and loopy people who used to worship the Mac have switched over to Tesla.
The cultishness is amazing. With Apple you were a 'hater' who likes 'IBM' computers. With Tesla, you're a 'shorter.' An Emmanuel Goldstein projected up on the screen for the 2 minute hate.
For awhile I worked for a company that had one division that was a tier 1 supplier to General Motors. A new CEO of the overall company was put into place, and he discovered the whole kickback scheme that the head of Automotive was engaging in with GM. Head of Automotive got canned. The rest of Automotive 'flipped out' because that was apparently how you do business with GM.
I'm so glad I don't work there anymore. My job was in a test lab evaluating parts for, yes, GM, and it really didn't seem like honest work. Totally irrelevant tests to be 'by the book' and hiding glaring flaws. At least none were safety issues, thank goodness.
The mini-consoles have full games. The fact that both are now available for regular retail prices is sort of a laugh at the people who paid huge markups for them from scalpers.
What does that even mean? There isn't anything new from Tolkein because he wrote the Hobbit, the Rings Trilogy, and a few other things. It's all out there, there isn't a lot, and it lives in our imaginations when we read it.
There are some films, I understand, but that's really not so relevant.
What are you not allowed to do with Tolkein's work that you want to do? Crappy fanfic? Thank goodness you're prohibited. We have Christopher to do that, and it's easy to just ignore the one dude than a whole fanhood.
They are some of the worst crooks on the planet, in terms of them being pretty bad at it. The slick crooks don't go to Washington much. Just enough to make certain it's a district run by bumbling idiots.
"Reach around to the back of the case" mini-tower design is equally, if not more stupid.
And the design was just 'project the power switch up to the front on one cable' from the users, and even the installers point-of-view there was no 'to the front then to the back.'
I think you mean the hyped up bullshit that's been marketed as 'nerd' for about the last decade.
The nerd economy goes on at ham radio swapmeets. It thrives out behind the science building at universities where cool old equipment is being captured and saved by nerds instead of being thrown away. In nerd-owned labs where old 'scopes and power supplies are used to fix and build new gear. In darkened amateur observatories where people who've ground their own mirrors gaze up at night.
'Nerd' as marketed by the popular entertainment operation was always a marketing fraud operation.
If you read too many mainstream comix, you can't be a nerd. Nerds are much more likely into hard SF.
I read the whole Sandman series. Bought the issues as they were coming out, from #17 onward. That series wasn't like a lot of the stupid regular comics, though. Most mainstream comics, i.e. the 'Super Hero' ones, are tedious and two dimensional. Why anybody would read more than one or two issues is beyond me.
I was always disappointed by what happened when I dragged the 'hard drive' icon to the trash can on a classic MacOS system. There should be loose 6-32 screws rolling around on the tabletop after the dust settles.

AMD should simply go to i11.

Do it, Stoot!
I have a Max IIci in my collection. It's also chock full of National Instruments data acq. cards and the original version of LabView.

Nicholas Tesla died in poverty.

One Plutocrat says to another: 'One of your plebes is annoying me.'
After the Tesla bankruptcy, maybe Kim Kardashian will licence 'Elon Musk' to be used as the brand name for a line of perfume.
He probably hired Pinkerton to find out who the 'troublemaker' is. Plutocrats stick together so his next move was to sidle up to the fink's boss.

How humiliating it would be to be of the millineal generation and have people like you as peers.
The mini-consoles have full games. The fact that both are now available for regular retail prices is sort of a laugh at the people who paid huge markups for them from scalpers.
They doubtless aren't worth modern prices.
That's why, right now, you can buy a 3DS cartridge with a bunch of the NES classic games on it, for one single price of $36.
Tolkein-tier.

It's even been ported to the Nintendo Switch, which didn't exist when Microsoft bought Mojang.
Most of the new ports aren't written in Java, BTW, the Java version is considered 'classic' at this point.

When Bill and Hill left the White House they were loud about the fact that they were 'dirt poor.'
And since then they're now three figure millionaires?
That doesn't pass any sort of smell test.
The 'throw it away' metaphor isn't mind-blowing. It seems staggering stupid the first time you see it in play.
