Yes, a big star. Last millennium.

I've been living under a rock but can't recall seeing him in anything after Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - he was good in that but even by 2005 we are talking about career reboots.

Unless we're riding the wave of Top Gun nostalgia, this looks like your classic spend $150 million on AI for a $30 million box office return.

Yes, $35 buys you a dongle with just enough of an OS to bootstrap renting 4K content.

The movie Arrival with Forest Whitaker and Amy Adams goes to the trouble of decoding an alien language from first principles.

Ancient Egyptian academic Daniel Jackson was central to Stargate.

So not all Sci-Fi relies on an all powerful AI.

Some might consider not running macOS a feature! :)

In other news this month, Bryan Keller ported the long since abandoned PowerPC release of OS X to the Wii.

Why can't Shuttleworth base LTS on stable for those of us who don't need new/shiny every six months based on a fork of sid?

I stick with upstream Debian on my home machine because I don't benefit from Canonical-isms. But forking the codebase every 6 months and then supporting one fork for 2 years as LTS seems like a wasted effort.

Bring back the intermission.

Those of us who filled up on cola can swap theories at the urinal of how the second half of the movie will end up while those with stronger bladders watch the ads.

I got out of the habit of watching the 7pm news when I moved out of my mother's place...

So the only OTA I watch is live sport; the AFL or the tennis.

A DVB-T USB stick for OTA is $30 and an Android TV stick similar, so my next TV will be a 'gaming monitor' or a projector.

Smart TVs aren't that smart to be honest.

I saw this Rebecca Hall movie once where she was married to a computer.

Maybe Zuck is preparing for omnipotent immortality.

They basically had the 'Classic' environment running under a Unix environment a decade before OSX with A/UX.

MAE then eventually got ported to Solaris. Speculation at the time was that Sun (RIP) would buy Apple and merge the best bits of macOS with OpenStep, Jobs' cross-OS collaboration with them.

I went on a minibus tour in the mountains between Salta and Jujuy, Argentina around 3km, I had no ill-effects.

Bolivia is on my bucket list. La Paz they say you need to adjust for a few days but I am after that slow travel experience anyway.

Ah, yes, fiddling around with NDISWrapper. Nowadays NDIS is our national disability insurance scheme...

Back in the dialup era, I had a 'soft' modem that only worked with a particular kernel.

But today, I battle with DVI over USB with DisplayLink.

I always go to f-droid first because Google Play apps generally have ads.

In cubicle land, almost everyone at my workplace has a wireless mouse/keyboard 'plugged' into their company-issued laptop. Except when in meeting rooms, no one types on the internal keyboard.

If they gave us the option of an iPad Pro or equivalent Windows 11 device, I'd be down with it.

I think the most exciting possibility is someone discovering a vulnerability in the A18 that would allow one to jailbreak.

macOS on an iPhone, make it happen.

(Before anyone from high like Schiller or Federighi says no one would ever want that, alas.)

'Chrome' on ChromeOS is more a UI wrapper around the system Chromium engine rather than a "real" Chrome?

I liken this akin to 'sudo apt install google-chrome-stable' from ChromeOS' Linux container.

(I read a blog once where they were trying to de-couple Chrome so it could be updated independently of ChromeOS support cycle so that unsupported Chromebooks would still get browser updates long into the future.)
