The above blog post is misleading. The apps will continue to open on Win10 but could run into issues over time:

What region do you live in? That seems like a bargain to me, given that a local HVAC company quoted me $5K for a dinky 1 ton split mini unit for a single room. Not sure if a heat pump can survive a Chicago winter though...

Billy Bob in Accounting doesnâ(TM)t need to SSH into AWS to count beans. SSH should be blocked outbound so he canâ(TM)t circumvent the firewall policy with a SOCKS proxy. Also, modern NGFWâ(TM)s would identify and block SSH on non-standard ports as well.

Blockbusterâ(TM)s heyday isnâ(TM)t a good comparison to today. It was a hassle, you had to drive to the video store, browse for the movie you wanted to see, then hope it was in stock. Then you go home to watch a low def VHS on your 27â television set. You then have to remember to rewind the tape and return it in time or else face more fees.

Today you open an app on your TV and watch a movie on your 55â HDTV. I think thatâ(TM)s good enough for most people.

Thanks for posting this, I was wondering what actual law was broken. The DCMA should render butter knives illegal then. That’s was what I used for the “swap trick” on the PlayStation 2 to circumvent its DRM.

Amazon Go has no checkout lanes, you just grab your stuff and leave. This could potentially backfire on them when it becomes cost effective for a supermarket to get rid of all the cashiers (that they are forced to have) once the technology matures/gets cheap enough.

This is nothing but a scam by "big atom" to sell more charts to us periodically!

Funnily enough, EQ helped me learn Linux. There was "cheat" program called ShowEQ that would draw a map of the zone you're in and tell you whats around you and what loot each monster had because it sniffed Everquest's packets. In only ran on Linux so I ended up having to build a whole separate PC from scratch, installing Linux (I think it was Red Hat 7?), and hunting down and figuring out everything it needed to work. Since ShowEQ was passive I had to use a hub to mirror the packets to my Linux PC. Once everything was working, it was amazing. I had a whole dedicated "GPS" box that would tell me everything going on the zone, which was really helped as a solo player. Eventually SOE caught on and started to encrypt their protocol, I'm not sure what happened after that. It would be a fun project to see how the protocol works and see how the traffic encrypted with what we know now (if it hasn't been done already). It might be easy to crack if they never updated bothered to update key stretch/ciphers/etc.

Check and see if there's a Family Video near you, they're still thriving.

I already tried doing this, and the results were frightening. Aliens everywhere, and all the billboards said stuff like obey, consume, etc. I ended up chucking the sunglasses in the bin.

You can't dial into Tivo if you don't have a phone line. AT&T is already discontinuing landlines in almost 1/2 of the US:

âoeDevelopers essentially have no good alternative to the App Store on iOS. â What about the poor developers who have no alternative to Nintendoâ(TM)s eShop? Whereâ(TM)s their alternative?

Thank goodness, FTP needs to die in a fire. Everyone should be using SCP/SFTP nowadays anyways.

They most certainly had onboard graphics by the time these games came out. My Packard Bell POS 9000 with a 75mhz pentium had one. The onboard Cirrus Logic card took away 1mb out of my 8mb of system memory. Quake was the reason behind my first computer upgrade - - it needed at least 8mb to run.
