And it even makes CarPlay look bad! :(

“The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had — he has already spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud.”

- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

I’ve had great luck with Brother Laser Printers except for one color one that died 3 weeks before the warranty.

No problem, I thought - they were super helpful up until asking me to read the serial numbers off of the toner cartridges and support came to a dead halt since the non-Brother cartridges “could be the source of the problem”

I was not going to run out and buy 4 new Brother cartridges to continue troubleshooting - that printer went into the trash.

TLDR; if you buy a Brother laser printer keep the original cartridges in case you have to call support!

Have had a few Brother printers (B&W / Color laser), for the most part they've been OK. Had a color one die last month, despite being in warranty, their support wouldn't talk to me without first reading off the serial numbers of the official Brother toner cartridges, leaving me in the position of buying 4 new cartridges just to continue troubleshooting the printer.

Capcom CPS-1 and CPS-22 hardware arcade games have a "suicide battery" keeping a bit of data in RAM alive that the game won't boot without, so the hardware bricks after it dies.

My Dad's in his 70's and has been playing Space Invaders since "Santa" got me an Atari 2600 when I was 5. He's also a big fan of Crazy Taxi. He and his girlfriend play Vikings together on their tablets. Before video games he played D&D with his friends. Any time I bring our kids over to his place the Wii or Switch will get turned on for Just Dance, Jackbox, Mario Party or whatever, it's great! :D

I've had:

iPod 2nd Gen (upgraded from a Handspring Visor, still rocking a Sony Ericson phone)

iPhone 4

iPhone 6+

iPhone 11 Pro Max

So... about 4 years between phones for me. And my (7yo) son watches YouTube on the 6+

Have been on AT&T for some time, and even though I had heard about it already, the first couple of times I saw "5G E" my brain kept thinking I had dropped down to Edge. *shudders*

Except for that once back on the map, when your head comes down, if you're facing the wrong direction it touches the pit and you fall back in. Or if you left the pit in the upwards direction. If the game had just always put you safely to the side of the pit, it would have been greatly improved.

Yup, the game more like a puzzle, plus having to find all the special spots to do the things you need to, but the "head comes down and now I'm back in the pit" is... well... the pits!

I guess the Japanese word for six was already taken?

You had to load CP/M from a floppy, it's not in system ROM.

Yup!
