FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking some...

Hopefully more people will be aware of the Lock Down feature. People should also be aware how to hard-lock their phone.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

The rendering and animation in Mythwrecked was really well done! Loved the gameplay as well.

The kid grew up ok. He went around disrupting television broadcasts and had a pretty good TV career.

If only cut man was still around.

Floating point values should really have a little rounding glyph when printed. Like a little superscript plus or minus

Yeah same, every time I got some new hardware or new drivers I would try some of them. I never actually got to play most of them.

RIP weird bargain bin games that only gave errors with broken unicode CJK/KOI glyphs before crashing to desktop.

I used to have a shelf with "broken games" - (PC) games that I would simply fail to run, crash on startup or were broken fundamentally.
This included 2 out of the 3 PoP games at the time. This was considered "normal" in the 2000s PC community due to low-quality ports flooding the market.

I like the story of Jet Set Willy, a very famous and influential game that (afaik) released three different versions on three platforms (ZX, BBCM, C64) that could not be completed due to various game breaking bugs. They even lied about it and told players it was "extra difficulty".

Must be one of those Ferenginar knockoffs. It's actually a VI put in a VII shell. smh.

I was back home and spent a lot of time with my parents...
Now I'm addicted to tea and crossword puzzles. Again

Oooh Yeahhh <Chi chicka chickaaa>

My Taiwanese barber had posters so old that they rocked Desireless hairstyles.

… I would’ve gotten it in a second if I could pull it off.

Appropriately, Tron 2.0 had some pretty ground breaking CG effects; for me it was the game that made me implement my own Bloom effect for the first time. ☀️🔆😖

I was racking my brain to figure out who she (the actress) reminded me of; I was sure it must've been her daughter in some recent show.

Turns out Maryann Plunkett was in one of my favorite Miami Vice episodes "Little Prince". Small World... (Galaxy?)

I wonder what happened. Maybe they blew a light last minute and had to quickly put something together. Or were there plot reasons?

Atomfall is really good but also feels like an undercooked indie game if you try to play it as a Stalker/Fallout game.
It misses a lot of that infrastructure: no XP, tiny inventory, no money, no stats.

It took me a while to adjust, and now I'm having a blast. Wouldn't mind a quick-save. Go play it.

Now I want a Terminator reboot with Sinbad as the T1000

"Hmmm these coookies!"
"Your friend is dead".

That mono sprite art is amazing.

Doden, slachtoffers, fatale ongevallen etc. Dit voelt wel heel erg als KletsGTP

"overlijdens"? Ik snap dat het mag in Scrabble, maar lijkt me niet helemaal het juiste woord hier.

These tarifs are getting out of control!

I love the bottom left guy. So goofy but grrr scary

Would it be possible to put franchise names next to the names? I know most of these but I have no idea who Crocodile is and it's hard to google. (I just find Croc)

Zeker weer die wegwijspiet geweest; vergeten de kraan dicht te draaien. Typisch.

I got a bad cold over thanksgiving week and I'm still feeling like shit. Either the viruses are getting smarter, or my body is getting dumber.

I feel like I'm at LD50 for chicken soup at this point...

Film: Twelve Tasks of Asterix (1976!)

This was my “watch when I’m sick at home” movie. I still know all the Dutch lines. I should watch it in original French(?)

They say this armor was crafted on order of one Sir Mixalot

En Gouke Moes probeert een direct lijntje te krijgen naar het Pietenhuis. Moet niet gekker worden.
