  1. just got a nice screen protector for my iPad mini. After taking about 40 min to assure not air bubbles or dust were present I managed to apply it, very pleased with result. Best of all with the stylus has a little drag now and matte finish so not so smooth like on glass, feels more like paper. Tested to make sure, hey I’m no pro but it’s honest art at least 😛to be fair I used the simplest drawing program, no layers or magnification, literally the same as drawing with colored pencils so I am pleased. At least I can make something without a reference. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      If it took 40 minutes, it probably was good that you didn't bite your lip in the process.

  2. "I am not going to go into the 'which machine was better' argument" Then why comment HERE? That is the point of THIS THREAD, so continuing a conversation about the questions you have asked would derail this topic. You should have asked your questions in a new separate thread.....................
  3. 😁🧐Happy International Women's Day!

      To celebrate Women's Day, upon the request from one of our female employees, today we lowered the volume on the lunch room speaker so she could hear what she was thinking. Wasn't that a nice gesture?

  4. Yeah, I don't believe this 😂If this was true the method would be talked about more and everyone would be doing it.
  5. Those symbols and lines sound like the simple boot screen of many arcade games of the time, it's normal.
  6. Pretty sure he finally transitioned into a rom and can only be contacted through emulation 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️
  7. Who remembers? I recall being into tech as I am following these stories. Linux / Open Source consoles that never got farther than the prototype stages. Were they simply too ambitious? AHEAD OF THEIR TIME MAYBE? After all Valve proved Linux based gaming systems CAN be successful even though their first attempt also failed.

  8. 😝🤷 Found two of these fellas sitting down on our lobby "help yourself" shelf. Any idea who this character is? Is he like a bargain bin version of some other character? I can't find any identifying brand marks on him. 😆

      Well, you could give one the smell test.  If it has that strong, plastic smell that many cheap toys have from China, then it's likely from a Dollar store.

      If you still use a landline grab the V-tech behind them.  Excellent phone. :)

      @Crash7 Indeed, I brought the figures up, this is the corner of my desk! Yes, we still use a landline because we get maybe 20 calls a year that aren't marketing or the wrong number 🤷‍♂️Landline plus Ignite Internet 1.5 Gigabit plan. All we need, we don't have, use or need mobile phones because when we are out and about phone calls can wait, our devices (her iPhone and my iPad Mini 5 and Android phone) can access Free Shaw WiFi with wide overage throughout the city. It's funny though because so many people, services and companies are STUNNED that we exist without mobile phones in 2024 🧐anytime we are asked for our cell number and explain neither of us has them we always get a pause or a deer in the headlights look from them, yes one CAN exist with mobile phone service, it can be somewhat inconvenient at times sure, and some react like we are Luddites or something, hilarious since my wife handles I.T. support for the provinces health authority and I been into tech since I first saw a pixel on a screen. It's about "choice" and not buying something simply because everyone else does. Now my wife DOES have an iPhone SE and for the first time this year, as we head to Mexico for a week's vacation, she has contracted an E-Simm service data plan just for the duration of our trip, this will cost bout $ 12 USD 😝

  9. Really WHO CARES? This type of stuff is endless I promise you, enjoy what you enjoy and ignore the rest. 🤷‍♂️
  10. It's 10:07 pm, as midnight approaches THIS is the face of man about to turn 56! Muh birthday 🤷‍♂️😝More than ever I am happy and appreciate the little things, a good meal, a nice drink, indulging in hobbies and appreciating friends and family.

    😎 At my age for my birthday I asked only for a nice craft beer to go with a nice dinner. Had steak and mushrooms for dinner and got 3 cool beers😆 don’t drink much these days but it’s a nice surprise on my birthday and a treat. And for a snack one damn hot Pepperoni stick!

      Funnily @GoldLeader, my best (childhood) friend was born on 9/11, and my favorite movie director as well! But yeah, I often think it must suck. 😰
