I also remember liking BBC’s “The Space Race” series, especially since it focused more on the Soviet program that other media doesn’t cover much. It’s been a long time since I watched, tho, so not sure if it holds up.

The Apollo 11 move with Tom Hanks is excellent, HBO’s From the Earth to the Moon series is more mixed quality but I still liked a lot of it.

The show is sort of a companion piece to the movie (and does a different perspective for that mission), so ideally watch Apollo 11 first.

All I'm learning from the MacBook Neo is that Apple could be shipping an iPhone that turns into a Mac when you plug it into a monitor, they just choose not to so you buy more of their things

Hello, I am a popular “news” social media account. Every post will start with “BREAKING:” and include two images, especially when it’s false information. I am sponsored by a cryptocurrency exchange or “prediction market.”

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Riker and Geordi, in uniforms red and gold, meet at a Enterprise corridor intersection. Riker is *very* tall. You don't always see it, but here facing and compared to Geordi, sheesh he's a tall drink of water. Anyways, his hair's a bit messy. Closed caption reads, "I'm having trouble waking up."

Couple things here:

1. What the fuck
2. I am allllllmost more offended by the suggestion that I would give this shitbox edit than having my identity stolen
3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out!

Linux couldn't save my old netbook, so I tried Haiku OS It's not Linux, or even Unix.

Haiku OS is surprisingly fast on my ancient Intel Atom netbook! There are bugs and a lot of missing features, but I do like the design, and it's much snappier than Debian on this PC.

I am using SSDs or SD cards in all of my retro computers and no one can stop me. The faster I get to SimCity 2000, the better.

The most annoying limitation for the MacBook Neo might be the 256 GB storage. A lot of mainstream macOS apps have huge file sizes, partially because of Universal Binaries. Microsoft Word and Excel are 2.5 GB each on my Mac right now, and Chrome is over 1 GB.

Say hello to MacBook Neo Apple today unveiled MacBook Neo, an all-new laptop that delivers the magic of the Mac at a breakthrough price.

The MacBook Neo seems like a solid computer for $599 (or $499 with the edu discount)!

The 8GB memory looks bad on paper, but I was running VMs and Final Cut on my 8GB M1 Air until replacing it last year with good performance, and the A18 Pro is supposedly faster than an M1.

How Trump's loathing for wind turbines started with a Scottish court battle The US president is a vocal critic of wind energy - and it's a loathing which began in Aberdeenshire.

He's still mad at the windmills that were installed next to his UK golf courses over a decade ago lol www.bbc.com/news/article...
