The Mac has always been a great gaming platform… so long as you were fine waiting 4 years to play. 😄

Gosh I loved this game, and it ran great on our Performa.

Trying https://t.co/ttuYT2RqgR instead of Evernote this week after seeing it on @mgsiegler’s home screen. Already I love its visual and functional simplicity. It’s fast. It isn’t trying to upsell me despite already having paid $70 this year. It’ll help me solidify my markdown.

Queued up OK Computer as background music this afternoon.

How prescient is this album? The way you interact with Google’s voice assistant is literally by saying, “OK, Google.”

I look forward to seeing @verge’s documentary on the Treo. Going from flip phone to Treo (running Good software for Exchange email sync) was mind blowing, totally changed the way we got work done in my early IT consulting days.

How does the @verge give Windows 11 a score of ‘8’ when many features are missing, the same reviewer calls it a “work-in-progress” and says “he won’t be upgrading on his main PC” just 3 weeks ago, and none of that has changed materially? Really, an 8?

@TysonTrautmann Seriously, give them time to give a meaningful answer to even just one question.

@PSSwx @BoldUlysses @thedesloge @dsuffern @CarrieLSuffern Just seeing those maps… fantastic!

It’s nice to wake up Monday to new S3 compatibility in Backblaze B2. A new Veeam backup target for those already using the service in other ways (rclone or endpoint backups). I’m sure that wasn’t trivial to implement. Thanks guys!

@jrigamonti 😂 nice.

Dear people who operate big websites: Don’t present a customer feedback popup every. single. time. we visit your site. At that point, you can safely assume the experience is terrible.

Looking at you, Dell.

As much as I want and have been waiting for this new 16” MBP, I think I want a 14” version more. Wait til Spring?

Will someone please once and for all explain to me the DIFFERENCE???

[Benjamin Wright @bnwri]

@gruber That’s rad. Worth the trip right there.

@PSSwx @BoldUlysses @F1 They DO bring back great memories for me. These, and many others. Thanks @PSSwx!

[Benjamin Wright @bnwri]

@PSSwx @BoldUlysses @F1 That would be awesome! Please say hi to your folks for me too when you see them.

[Benjamin Wright @bnwri]

@PSSwx @F1 @BoldUlysses What an amazing day and memory that is. I often think about it!

This AR demo for @playdate is incredible. Opens my eyes to what’s possible. This will be the future of buying things online. Only works on iPhone tho I think. :-/ https://t.co/fZR5YOoQaE
