If you’re trying to solve a tech problem and all the search results are decade-old web pages, you may be asking the wrong question.
SSDs are getting very competitively priced. They’re 4x as expensive as spinning hard drive per TB, but they’re getting closer all the time.
play date looks like fun. But considering it’s half the price of a Nintendo Switch, I’m leaning towards it being a little too expensive. I’ll give it another look once it comes out.
Funding approved for Wellington to Hutt Valley cycling and walking path. This is brilliant! The way it is now, you literally ride along side traffic going 100 ± 20 kmh with no physical barriers. When I worked in the Hutt, my employer had bike to work weeks - I would have done it if not risking death in each direction.
Depending on how long this stupid, pointless trade war goes on, this could well destroy Huawei. No mobile chips, no mobile phones.
ARM memo tells staff to stop working with Huawei
If I could go back in time and give myself future things, one would be a Raspberry Pi 3, in a nice case, loaded with an Intel emulator of some sort and a videogame console emulator with every game released between 1980 and 2000. I wouldn’t need a new computer for decades.
Hey Australians. Remember if you want to move to New Zealand you can just turn up and start living here.
The final episode of GOT was… good. Really good, actually. I was expecting to be outrated and disappointed, but I was surprisingly, happily, satisfied.
About to watch the finale of Game of Thrones. I though we were going to get feature-length episodes this season? Nope, just 1 hour, or a little more. Sigh. Here we go…
I subscribe to six website rss feeds. I think paying an annual subscription to Feedwrangler to keep them in sync in Reeder on iOS is a little unnecessary. Guess I go manual without syncing once my current annual membership is up.
I’m watching John Wick Chapter 2. Laurence Fishburne has just shown up. This is definitely a Matrix sequel, except it isn’t terrible.
Happy Democracy Day Australia. Enjoy your democracy sausages!
I’m glad there are only two Films in the Matrix franchise - The Matrix (1999) and the Animatrix (2003). I’m glad they didn’t stuff it up by making sequels or some such.
Given how good The Animatrix is, I’m surprised there aren’t more animated collections to other great science fiction films. Imagine an Aniception, or an Ani-Blade Runner, or Anilooper.
Well done Taiwan.
Taiwan parliament becomes first in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage.
I expect the GOT finale to be beyond disappointing. It’s just how big shows end; The Sopranos, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, etc., etc., etc.
When I was very young, Bob Hawk was the PM of Australia and George Bush was president of the USA. I always thought they should have swapped their last names yo be more nation-appropriate.
I follow six websites in my RSS reader (I used to follow dozens in mutiple folders). Now I can follow three of them in micro.blog thanks to this nifty new feature. Now how to keep up with the remaining three without having to dip into my reading app…
“Biodiversity equals stability”
(Also, watch for the cameo of Te Whanganui a Tara).
Cthulhu’s Glittering Backside, it’s been a while.
Rim of the World is classed as a “teen” movie, but it looks brilliant and funny so I’m watching it anyway.
I’m slowly developing a 5th backup pillar. I have 2 cloud backup services (iCloud and Backblaze), and two local backups (SuperDuper and Time Machine). My new planned system will involve Syncthing and a couple of Raspberry Pis with big hard drives attached.
Another gorgeous Wellington morning from @PolhillNZ on Twitter. Love the low sun in the Winter.
Seems… inept.
Workaholics are addicted to workahol.
