  • Today’s kids don’t have to worry about turning off your PC before you can unplug your mouse or keyboard

    Jump

  • I remember getting a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card for my laptop to use my enormous external DVD drive. The only DVDs I had at the time were X-Men, Star Wars Episode 1, and Nothing But Trouble.

  • What profession do y'all hate with deepest of passion

    Jump

  • As an engineer, I suppose I should be offended by this. But I realize that it is based on "emotions," a type of internal sensory experience some humans have on a daily basis. This is not logical, and shall be disregarded. End statement.

  • Linux Mint gets file manager improvements, a new screenshot tool and more

    Jump

  • Awesome. I love Mint. I might try LMDE at some point here, but I have everything just how I like it now.

  • What cursors yall use?

    Jump

  • For about a week, I had my coworker's face as my cursor. Just because I could. I wanted to see how long it would take people to notice. I share my screen a lot. I was surprised it took that long.

    Jump

  • After downloading tons of them, and trying them out on various computers over a range of screen sizes and resolutions, and also considering what fits with the vibe of my theming, I have ended up with Breeze. Pretty basic, but I love it. I have to use Windows at work, and got Breeze on there as well.

  • We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible.

    Jump

  • Even if it is feasible, I still encounter twice as many people as I want to on a daily basis. I want to live on Solaria, from Isaac Asimov's The Naked Sun.

  • Jonathan Frakes beyond belief clips played at half speed make him sound like a drunk dude at the bar

    Jump

  • I love this every time I see it. I don't know why, but "Have you had your hearing tested lately?" cracks me up every single time.

  • Nothing to see here

    Jump

  • OK, here is one. The trolley is on a hill. Attached to an indestructible cable. Pulling the lever will cause the cable to pull it back up the hill. This takes 30 minutes, then the lever will need to be pulled again. You can call for help, but will take 3 days for them to get there. If you leave, no one will know you were there. What do you do?

  • What dead car brand would you want to bring back and why?

    Jump

  • I always tell my wife that if they found a secret warehouse full of old Aztek parts and pumped some new ones out, I'd get one on the spot. I loved that car.

  • Valve removes free horror game from Steam after players discover it contains malware that steals your data

    Jump

  • Nothing's free in Waterworld.

  • The first true MacBook Neo rivals are here, packing double the RAM and storage of Apple's budget laptop

    Jump

  • I guess I need to. My last laptop came with Vista.

    Jump

  • Costing about the same? $700? That is still more than I'd want to pay for those. Am I just cheap? Is that what laptops cost now?

  • How do you talk yourself into doing things you know are good for you but you really don't wanna do?

    Jump

  • Basically a three step process.

    1.) Ingest caffeine.

    2.) Put on Highway Star by Deep Purple. Big headphones to drown out distractions.

    3.) Take a couple breaths to focus, then buckle in for the ride

  • I try to be open minded but it's just wrong

    Jump

  • This one I can see variation on. I typically shoe > tie > shoe > tie, but I can see the merits of your way.

  • I try to be open minded but it's just wrong

    Jump

  • Even so, I will sock, step on shoe, sock, put on shoe, put on other shoe. I would never, in any imaginable circumstance, have a sock and shoe on one foot while the other is bare. That is just insanity.

  • Have you ever camped out or queued up for the launch of a game, console, or other media?

    Jump

  • My usual MO is getting things when they are discontinued. And cheap. Turbografx, Sega Saturn, Virtual Boy, Game.Com. I have them all. Virtual Boy was $20 at Target.

    The only time I got something when it came out was the Gameboy Advance. But I pre-ordered it. No camping, just went in and picked it up.

    I got the PS2 for Christmas the year it came out, but it was out for almost 2 months at that point, plus it was a gift, so I didn't have to camp for that either. I still love that thing.

  • OG color scheme button sets are available for the 8bitdo 64 controller and they look excellent.

    Jump

  • I wonder what those are like compared to the Retro Fighters Brawler 64.

  • sponsors, ads

    Jump

  • "Wtf. How did this get past sponsorblock?"

  • X has placed new daily post limits on unverified accounts

    Jump

  • I've heard of furries. I've heard of scalies. What would you call a frog person? A slimy?
