This might just be the best game of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" I've ever seen.

This certainly tightens up the iPad -> iPad Air -> iPad Pro line, The Air -> Pro gap was already small(it widens a bit today with the M2 Pro, but not by much), but the iPad -> Air decision was between dated budget tablet or more full featured modern tablet, but now it's a little less clear.

I'm not old enough to have grown up on Tandy computers(though I recall my parents having what may have been a CoCo when I was very young), I do have have a 1000TX and CoCo 2 as part of my retro computer collection. I really kind of like that 1000TX in my collection. Not only is it one of my favorite XT compatibles(technically it has a 286, but still effectively has an XT rather AT architecture, so it ends up basically being a fast 8088) in my collection, that Tandy graphics and sound also give a bit of a soul of an 8-bit home computer and was pretty well supported by games of the era, especially compared other niche graphics and sound technologies.

Use of Teams has a been a deciding factor about not taking a job before. It's got to be pretty bad when it makes me nostalgic for HipChat.

I've had Amazon take down reviews that point out that a drive is a scam.

I also went the same Plex to Jellyfin route. Though it took me a couple of tries because Jellyfin wasn't quite up to snuff the first time I tried it, but the server/web side seems to be pretty great these days, at least I don't have any issues. While I'm glad they finally have an iOS app, I wish I didn't have to rely on a thirdparty app for Apple TV.

> The Roku OS is fantastic and neutral as far as the various content provider services go.

I originally like Roku, because they used to be a neutral hardware provider, but that's not the case these days. Their OS is becoming more full of ads and are really trying to push their own content. And now nearly every time I see the Roku in the news is that they don't have new provider or that they're thinking of kicking off a provider because they're trying to get a cut of revenues.

>but did not find much about the topic of motivation within it.

Agreed, this is much more of a "What to do to write once you have the motivation". That's not to say it's not a useful article, but perhaps a bit misdirected by the title.

> Is lack of interest a solvable problem?

That is an interesting question. One that I also find my self faced with regularly(and solving the general issue of motivation in general). I'm more into the fictional/creative side of writing, bit I think that general "motivation" issue is the same. I know I want to write. I consider writing a good use of my time, but I have trouble getting myself to sit down and a spend significant amount of time writing. I know for me specifically there's some degree of depression that suppresses my motivation to do anything, but even between those episodes, I do find it more difficult to actually motivate myself to write.

I've thought about this a lot and have come across two separate issues. One, is that trying to create something "new" in the world presents a challenge in of it self, whether its technical or creative. It's something I run into even when I'm working on something technical for work. For me at least, this is the easier barrier to overcome because I do enjoy the challenge when I'm in a state of mind to rise to the challenge. And that state of mind brings me to the the second issue, and that is the catalyst of the motivation. For professional/technical work that catalyst is essentially and external force (i.e. I need to work to make money and live), but for personal projects there's not that external catalyst. When I was younger I always had motivation for personal projects and my daughter spends all of her free time drawing(and she's very good at it). So I wonder if spending all of your "creative juices" at work(and despite people always creating barriers between technical and creative work, I think they may fulfill/tap similar parts of the brain) is the real barrier. The author of the article even mentions that he's done this since leaving Uber. I would be interested in seeing any statistics that correlated marginally successful authors(in any format) with the really successful ones to see of the marginal ones were more productive with putting out content because they needed too versus the super successful ones that had a major hit or two and are basically set for life.

I remember seeing this before(in the link, it appears to have been around since 2011) and at least a couple of other versions of "Goodnight Moon" with geeky leanings that I can't recall immediately. It's things like this and other similar remixes that have made me fully support remixes of copyrighted material and get dislike when companies take a hard line stance against them.
