If you sell goods online:

Stop using the words “your package has shipped” when you actually mean “we’ve printed a label”. They’re two different things.

I felt this in my teeth.

Anybody confused why people still listen to turntables or CD players forget that they never:

- stop working because they can't connect to WiFi
- stop working because they need a firmware update
- stop working because the manufacturer dropped support
- say "if you like Bach you might like Taylor Swift"
- play ads
- recommend "turntable premium"

Got invited to join the Video Game History Foundation's podcast this week, talking about my "first CD-ROM game" blog post from the other week. Chatting with Phil was a lot of fun, hope you enjoy listening!

Updated Chrome today, and was immediately given a prompt about how my browsing preferences would be directly used to feed me ads.

Chrome auto-enabled a feature that sends sites info to send me personalized ads based on browsing history, the ability for sites to determine what I like and update the ads as I browse, and the ability for sites to measure ad effectiveness.

These are built-in features of the browser now.

STOP USING CHROME

Realms of Darkness was billed as an #Amiga RPG, for those who hated RPGs. Featuring isometric sections mixed with 2D combat views, the game looked impressive - but was canned after lack of payment from Grandslam. Could remains of it be found some day?

100 Reasons the Amiga Was Amazing #3 Directory Opus

File manager Directory Opus started on the Amiga and moved to Windows, making it one of those essential tools that I use on both systems. Going back to File Explorer after DOpus' dual pane listers feels like losing a limb.
