An honest to goodness motherboard review! It has been far too long since I have seen one of these!

@doctorow Oh, that’s even nice than a red Selectric!

My wife sure knows how to pick my Xmas presents!

Annual shoutout to everyone on family tech support duty this holiday season. You the real MVP

Merry Christmas! 🎄 If you’re visiting family today, remember to turn off motion smoothing on their TV 👍

I have concerns…

Did not see this on the 2025 bingo card…

Smart TVs are tracking everything you watch, taking as many as 20-30 screenshots per minute. Luckily there's a way to turn off this spying feature. Learn how: nyti.ms/49PGkcJ

@alexlindsay @paddo Ya lost me there. 🤣

@paddo Atmos > Lossless by a lot

Spotify is raising prices soon. If you love the recommendation engine, it might be worth it. As someone that has both Apple Music and Spotify... Apple Music costs less and is 2x the sound quality.

@alexlindsay You’re not alone, lol

NGL: I'm still bitter about Pluto

Putting on my new PNP shirt. Wife: Nobody is going to know what that means. Me: Yeah, but the ones that do know, those are my people.

@acarboni You’re what?

I can’t believe I’m waking up at 5:30 tomorrow morning to buy 6 pictures of Dwight Schrute from The Office.

Considering how quickly desktop memory prices are rising... might be a good time to take an extra long look at NAND based products. SK Hynix has some good deals going on right now.

@alexlindsay I think we’re on the third new math at this point…

Now that we have realized that phonics was the right path all along… When do we get rid of new math?

@kwiens Nah, buy it for you, then teach her how to run it… thing will still be running when her children are ready to start milling. 🤣

Brb, buying my three year old a Bridgeport for her IRA.

The film "Hackers" -- one of my all time favorites -- turns 30 today. To celebrate I've rented out a movie theater for a private screening in Austin, TX.

@HighDefDiscNews @UltraHDBluray FWIW, somebody once asked me what I did for real (my day job) since the screen savers was only on live for an hour a day. I politely explained it took twenty or thirty people hours of work to make every show happen.

@UltraHDBluray Well, I hate to break it to everyone, it is my full time job.

I didn’t know that running a website for 18 years was a “side hustle.” Thank you Reddit, for nothing.

@ddennedy @ATT @Starlink How’s that been working?

@patricknorton @ATT @Starlink I got T-Mobile 5G home Internet as a backup for my unreliable cable (and then bought a dual WAN WiFi router)

I’m impressed, @ATT, even Comcast never managed to have an outagethree out of four days. Or even two. Whatever’s wrong in my neighborhood here in STL, could you maybe fix it?@Starlink’s starting to look like a legit option as of this week. :/
