They did the same to Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Popeye, etc. Banned cartoons can be found on YouTube if you know what you are doing.

Microsoft was working on the .NET framework to beat Java. They had J++ to replace Java which became J# and then C#. I think they got sued over it being too much like Java and had to change it. Now Mic…

There used to be a script that would turn the telementary data off in Windows 10. I forgot the link to it and didn't save it. I agree no updates is hard to run when Microsoft updates Windows 10 e…

You need a good daycare or babysitter so you both can work while the child is growing. Family time is quality time. Spend time with your child and watch child movies with them. Teach them how to use a…

Which one is the mythical "Nemesis" that throws comets and asteroids at Earth?

Not while I can use Chrome for free. Mozilla cut their own rope when they got rid of Brandon Eich and caved into SJWs, and they conservatives boycotted No-Zilla. For $5/month I'd better get …

Enter their birthday. My son and his friends and cousins always enter the year of their birthday as 1955 so that they appear to be old men when they were under 13. They never answer honestly and it is…

It needs a SSD drive to boot faster. Otherwise it takes a few minutes instead of seconds. Windows 10 is for newer hardware anyway, it runs slow on older hardware.

Actually it was the year that managers stoppped taking programmers in that know how to do quality control and focus on doing it faster with more bugs so it ships sooner. If you look at some of the MS-…

At Microcenter you can buy a house brand SSD hard drive with 128G on it for $58 and boot from that and store all your other files on a D:\ regular hard drive. That is how I set up my son's Window…

TikTok does the same thing VINE did. Only VINE went out of business as people stole VINE videos and posted them on YouTube.

Apple is parting with Intel over quality control issues. That is the same reason why Apple parted with IBM and Motorola that and Intel chips were faster. You will find ARM Macs are cheaper than Intel …

The enemy of Apple was not IBM but Microsoft and MS-DOS on clones. They made having a PC so cheap that everyone can afford one. Props to Commodore and Atari for having a price war and making affordabl…

I got a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate for free from Microsoft as part of a developers conference. Then I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for free. I bought some Windows 7 upgrades and 8.0 upgrades that conver…

Don't forget some old ATM machines still use CE. Even older ATM machines use OS/2 Warp.

The future is here. We got super computers that fit in the palm of your hand and operate as a smart phone compared to what we had in the 1980s 8-bit world.

My friends had ColecoVisions while I had just an Atari 2600 VCS. There was no comparison in the graphics and sound, the Coleco was like the arcade and the VCS was like block land. Now I can play Colec…

It would make cheap Commodore 64 parts as the chips burn out from the smoke going out of them. Right now they are expensive and they got some clones out there as well that are expensive.

Software is not always designed to last. Take video games that use servers, the video game company can take down the servers and the video game no longer works. You'd have to set up your own serv…

The big selling point of the Apple Mac computers line is that they are not Windows PCs. You can get stuff done without annoyance or tweaking the system. The iPhone and iPad are so easy to use that a t…

Cool hack, SX 64 computers are expensive and they don't make parts for them anymore.

Possible so, unless Apple makes the ARM chip run Intel code. Windows is overrated now and only Windows 10 matters at this point in time. For $150 you can buy a cheap Intel based PC laptop with Windows…
