This is why alternative operating systems like AROS, HaikuOS, ReactOS, OSFree and others need more support and third party apps like modern Internet apps. They don't track you and are open source…

I find the $1 McChicken and $2 Triple Cheeseburger to be bargains on the dollar menu. Will any plant based burger be on the value menu?

What if Apple did not invent the Macintosh? They would just parallel Apple II systems together for more speed?

Your best time to break up Apple was when Trump was President. Now it is President Biden on Jan 20th, 2021. Biden likes Apple and Trump does not. Apple would be broken up into Mobile devices, Desktops…

Religion is based on two words re again and lig connect or connect again. You have to keep a connection to a higher power. Not everyone is receptive to this higher power and cannot feel the connection…

I heard it was an urban myth. Titor predicted a lot of things that did not come true.

Is it true that the 2600 game wasn't supposed to look as good as the Colecovision game? That is why they limited it to 4096 bytes. Activision used 8K and 16K ROMs to make their games look better.…

No more EZBake ovens or Toy popcorn makers that use inky bulbs.

I guess it is used in places where there are no land lines or cable companies. Would be useful if people living in a swamp could get Internet and any cable strung gets sunk in the swamp by the pole.

It is still in beta. It needs help and developers to push it to a modern OS like Windows or MacOSX.

All sorts of tricks can be used. I remember using Monochrome RAM B000-BFFF in EMM386.EXE to save upper memory. Don't forget the ROM area that IBM PCJr carts use. Commodore 64 had a lot of hacks, …

VetusWare https://vetusware.com/ has old DOS, Mac, *NIx versions of popular software but has a ratio to maintain for members. You have to create an account and the file is reviewed by…

It is also a good work at home job that can beat COVID-19 or any other virus. Robots don't get sick and if a human being gets sick just assign the robot to a different human being.

Everything right with BeOS can be found here: https://www.haiku-os.org/

HaikuOS, ReactOS, AROS, MorphOS don't have phone home features in their OS and are as easy to use as a Mac. They also run faster because they have a smaller RAM footprint. I run Windows 95 in Vir…

The same thing is happening to BLM and AntiFA people starting to work jobs because protesting does not pay a lot of money. Change is coming. The Hippies sold out when they couldn't beat corporate…

What are you talking about? Most things invented these days are very complex. Take a long time to learn. You can't learn it in a day, it takes years.

FaceID must use AI and ML to detect faces.

Ditto, my D&D and Traveller groups broke up because we all moved away for jobs or college or military or got married, etc. There was a program called GRiP that did some of that but was hard to con…

You have to be super smart to work in high tech topics. Just a bachelors in computer science has enough math that the average person would flunk, the same for engineering. If you are self taught go to…

Fact check the information to see if it is false and then add an disclaimed that it was fact checked and proven to be false.

The bots are coming for our jobs. Already they replaced help desk web chat humans, and even do robocalls and refuse to admit to being a robot. Now they can creatively write and can write blog posts an…

Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 can run in DOSBOX just install the Borland software in a DOSBOX machine. Edit I got DOSEMU mixed up with DOSBOX.

Thanks

There used to be a Borland Museum that had free copies of Turbo Pascal and Turbo C, but it is down now as every link I have for it doesn't work. I was hoping they'd release Delphi 2.0 or 1.0…

Just a facelift for their GUI, and a better battery manager for OSX.

Sounds like Microsoft wants to move to ARM like Apple is currently doing.

Where are the highlights? I just visited there and got "None" for the highlights.

Fiction books are not worth it. Technical books are if you write it like a cookbook and list things they need to have in order to do the things you write about doing.
