Oh yeah… After Dark…
I still have the CD for the Deluxe 4.0 version and managed over the years to grab all the Star Trek and the Simpsons screensavers as well. I will occasionally boot up MacOS 8.6 and faff around with them.
Rock, Paper, Scissors was one I always thought would be great to put on a TV in a bar, and let it run and let people make bets on it.
I was an IA stagehand in the early 2000’s… NGL, the stage breakdown after a GWAR show was one of the stickiest, slipperiest, goopiest “outs” I’ve ever done. Not even the Lippizaner Stallions (and those horses are fed some weird food that makes their poop toxic, which is wild, since horse poop is the least offensive of any large animal) were as messy.
GWAR puts on a highly theatrical, great show… If you get a chanct to see them… By all means… take it.
Not surprised President Peevishness can’t handle the heat. So typical for the thin-skinned one.
LOL! That is some damn fine pretzel logic there!
If you haven’t seen her, I recommend watching to the videos made by a woman named Monte Mader. She’s a Goddess that knows Scripture forwards and backwards and will not hesitate to call out hypocrisy and bullshit wherever she sees it.
I love that the New Testament has an order of primacy to the books, and what’s the First Book of it?
Hmmmm. The one that is most on-point with Christ’s message, and the one that likely will be least touched on.
Personally, I think the kids should hold their schools and teachers to those 10 Commandments that they have on the walls in their classrooms.
Particularly the 9th Commandmant.
That one, pointedly demanded by the students, could set a lot of hair on fire.
Could you see the hullabaloo if a Texas High School 11th grade US History class demanded the actual historical TRUE Texas Letter of Secession was taught in class? It’s a right nasty, racist document that’s been whitewashed of the real language it was written with. Nothing to do with “States Rights” at all…
Well coded and correctly operating AI strikes again!
Yet another win for the stakeholders!
This is why the amazon dot in my house sits unplugged most of the time. I use it as a bluetooth speaker for my laptop, otherwise it is the extra chunky coaster I sit my coffee mug on. For real.
Pffft! What does Jensen Huang know… I routinely still run in traffic with scissors.
Flyweight.
Ooof. I can see its been wise of me to keep the thing locked down on the spare laptop that’s not online.
I have many different computers, most all are dumpster dives.
As far as the torrents - I do it from my work studio and not at home simply as I am on the starter speed for internet there.
I trot my files home on a flash stick and dump them on the network drive.
Nothing is transcoded, if I need to do that, I use Handbrake.
I share my files with a flash stick. Homegirl’s old school but I will look into Jellyfin and use it if it runs on my OS - it might not. My newest system is a gaming PC from 2016 (which I do NOT use for anything but gaming) and the streaming Mac is a 2010 MBP running an unsupported install of Mojave. For my graphics work, I’m using Mavericks simply as it runs all my peripherals - and of course my programs, perfectly.
Plex Media ServerNo.
Really? Hm. I’ve got it installed on my main computer and it streams my videos to the TV w/o issue.
Granted, the OS on the computer is ancient and it’s an older version of Plex (at least 6 years? Maybe more…) and I refuse to let it online to update and it’s not failed me at all.
I’ve been sailing the high seas since the days of Mactella, so…
Good to see that Stanford students are standing up for their education after what they’ve paid… Honestly, I have no idea why the university thought it would be smart - given the displeasure with AI - to have anyone from the tech sector give a commencement speech right now.
You… pernicious nostril!
Of course! Everyone forgets that the plumbing under that pool is old, leaking and the algae is in the entire system, including the parts of it they didn’t flush.
Typical Trump construction. Just the parts people can see, the rest of it - the parts that actually make it work - gets ignored.
Raspberry Pi, Plex media server software and you’re good to go. (it’s free when you stream across your own home network) Bonus points for using industrial velcro and slap the raspberry Pi on the back of the TV.
Okay, okay… the entire goddamn buffet AND the drinks from the bar.
Upper management is so far removed from how things actually get done, they are in all measureable ways idiots…
Ah. Decades ago it was described as The Peter Principle wheren one rose in corporate hierarchical structures to their level of incompetence.
Charming to see that it is still there… (ofc, why would it not be?)
Has no one been pointing out to management that even firms like Microsoft are backpedaling on using AI?
The costs seem too high, been reading about the whole pricing changes coming and it’s breathtaking.
I honestly see this as yet more of the same mentality that puts more faith in things than in other people. Corporations are notorious for this and it’s getting close to the tipping point where their literal human disconnect is going to bite them in the ass.
