Why standard watches are better than smartwatches:

They're not affected by Meltdown/Spectre

I've just remembered why I don't change straps on my watch that often, spring bars are really annoying

Here's an idea. Maybe don't run everything in a browser

Maybe use browsers for browsing the web and use native applications for email, chat, word processing, spreadsheets, etc.

Maybe things would be a lot better when everything doesn't have to be crammed into a web UI

Novel idea, I know, but it might just work

Oh for fuck's sake

New ThinkPad, the X280

No Ethernet port, no PowerBridge, no replaceable battery, no 2.5" HDD bay, no full size SD card reader, and soldered RAM

They try to use forked sticks to find water or something?

In the inevitable season of Dancing with the Stars (or whatever the hell American for Strictly Come Dancing is) featuring people from the Trump presidency it's almost guaranteed that Anthony Scaramucci is going to do the Fandango

I've been kinda wanting a Commodore 64 for a while

Didn't think I'd ever add "more secure" to the list of reasons to get one

A robotic punk rock band fronted by a maplebot would be both adorable and kick-ass

More robotic rock bands please

Turns out TempleOS isn't affected by the Intel bug

Which I'm sure is good news for all one people that use it

Oh hey, it's @er1n's birthday?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN!

Spot is a good doggo

All this talk of having killswitches in place and containing them

If anything, that's the kind of shit that'd piss them off enough to want to wipe out humanity
