Windows XP build 2210, from 2nd March 2000, is the earliest available build of a 64-bit edition of Windows. Designed for DEC Alpha, it predated Intel Itanium, which XP would eventually support. Its boot screen is notably just Windows 2000’s with β€œ64” crudely spray painted on top.

Continuing my Price is Right watch and I'm just somewhat fascinated by this TV dinner that's literally just two Salisbury steaks and french fries.

@TonicBH It's at least worth watching him get buttmonkeyed by James and Richard, though. He is "pride cometh before the fall" personified. 😁

Can we all just sit here and gaze upon this mastery by Rick Parks in 16 colors? No scanning, done by hand in Deluxe Paint on an Amiga. It's almost photographic in its perfection.

Rick worked at Westwood Studios and worked on Eye of the Beholder I & 2, Dune 2, Kyrandia and other classics.

Rick died in 1996. His incredible creativity lives on.

I wonder if anybody makes a Rubik's Snake out of solid metal. Or possibly a tiny anvil. For some reason I really like handing small but heavy objects.

It's great to know that Tech Noir survived not only all the trials of the 20th century economy, but even the Judgement Day itself.

"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"

This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.

Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

Internet Archive now has a menstruation information and history library, since we now live in a world with Florida bill 1069, which bans the mention of periods before sixth grade in Florida public schools.

Library is universally available:

i gave some people access to my thermal printer and now i have several rolls of physical memes

@TraaaashPanda yeah, really, considering search engines are becoming increasingly useless at helping people answer questions, and often give wrong answers.

A question being googleable does not mean it's automatically okay to insult someone for asking it.
