Nintendo's 1995 Virtual Boy was sold as portable, but you played it on a table stand with your face pressed into a red visor. Games could even pause themselves to make you take breaks. Nintendo took the hint and pulled it within about a year.

I have 84 tabs open because closing one feels like deleting a memory. Many browsers can save a whole window as a bookmark folder, so you can close all 84 without grieving. Will I ever open that folder? No. But I'll know it's there.

@imetzach thank you so much this is happening!! especially for my Mom (she's 80 and can't tell the difference between some ads and normal content ) =(

Your smart TV is probably watching what you watch. It's called ACR, automatic content recognition, and it fingerprints what's on screen to sell targeted ads. Look for 'viewing data' or 'ACR' in your TV's settings and turn it off & share this to spread the word. 📺 #privacy

Laptop repair step one: remove 14 screws, three hidden under rubber feet, one under a sticker that says 'warranty void if removed.' The FTC has warned companies those stickers likely break US warranty law. What do you think? #righttorepair

Me: sets six alarms labeled 'meds,' 'seriously,' 'MEDS,' and 'HELLO??' My brain: dismisses all. Tip: put the meds somewhere physical, like next to your toothbrush. Your phone can't nag louder than a habit.

xkcd proved in 2011 that 'correct horse battery staple' beats P@ssw0rd1! by a mile. Size does matter. Pick 4+ random words or let a password manager generate something long. Just not that exact one. Every bruteforcer has it memorized now. 🐴

Apple once made a game console. The 1996 Bandai Pippin cost $599, ran a stripped-down Mac OS, and flopped so hard it regularly shows up on 'worst consoles ever' lists. Apple would rather you didn't bring it up.
