I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

• The Simpsons: From seeing Season 2 episodes someone had recorded from Sky TV on VHS before it was on terrestrial TV, through to Season 9 when it stopped being good many years later. It was on all the time and we never got bored of it.
• Red Dwarf: The first TV show I was allowed to stay up “late” for, when it broadcast at 9pm. Felt like I’d entered a new stage in my life watching a late-night comedy show.
• The X Files: Similar to the above, this was the first serious, “grown-up” TV show I watched, and I was hooked. I thought anything with a paranormal tinge was awesome at that younger age (I guess I still do, although through an admittedly far more sceptical scientific lens these days).

Ghostbusters, Back To The Future trilogy, Terminator 2, Beetlejuice, The Matrix, OG Star Wars Trilogy, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner, Goodfellas, Jacob’s Ladder, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Boogie Nights

I find it insane that people somehow think they have to make that noise when they sneeze. It’s totally a learned and unnecessary behaviour. People who are born deaf don’t ever make that noise when they sneeze.

There Goes My Gun in my ass

Just remembered that seeing Doom for the first time is another obvious one. Man that game was incredible when it came out.

My last ever Nokia phone, a half way house between old Nokias and smartphones circa 2008.

No touch screen, but could play music, videos, had a calendar etc.

Absolute piece of garbage. Got super hot at times doing who-knows what, and had a software bug where the audio would completely stop working until you rebooted it… which meant that multiple times my morning alarm went off completely silently and I was late for work.

Bought an iPhone 3GS as soon as my 1 year contract was up, Nokia were never relevant again after that era.

If the Mac has a Retina display then I actually found XFCE runs worst of the various DEs at native resolution. Not in terms of resources but very choppy scrolling, video playback etc. Gnome and KDE Plasma actually ran better than XFCE for me on my 15” 2012 retina.

Presume it’s some kind of graphics acceleration thing, not 100% sure.

Yep.

And if you knew it was bad, but didn’t know how bad:

It’s an older system sir, but it checks out

Yep, absolutely this.

You cannot listen to music losslessly with AirPods Max, cabled or not.

From Apple’s own site: “The Lightning to 3.5 mm Audio Cable was designed to allow AirPods Max to connect to analog sources for listening to movies and music. AirPods Max can be connected to devices playing Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless recordings with exceptional audio quality. However, given the analog-to-digital conversion in the cable, the playback will not be completely lossless.”

If someone thinks AirPods Max sound amazing, they’re agreeing how good compressed audio can sound, whether they realise it or not.
