Check your settings. I experienced the same until I altered Apple TV settings that fixed Disney+. If I recall, the setting was Match content or Match dynamic range (not near tv right now to confirm exact name)

The book "Commodore: A company on the edge" covers a bit about early MOS. It was quite fascinating. Worth a read if you are interested in the era.

Its amazing what Chuck Peddle accomplished

Solution for my kids was buy or borrow whatever books they show interest in.

If they like reading comics, then get a stack of comics.

I allowed them to stay up later (if they want) but the condition is that time only can be used for reading. They really enjoyed that and it helped.

In time they traded the comics to fiction novels and their reading ability kept improving. They now get books from the library on their own and read quite a lot for their age. No parental pressure needed, they are addicted.

It's a shame. I'd happily take good books (low cost or free) but storage and shelf space is the problem.

I used to imagine running some kind of second hand book business (non profit) when I retire. Sad that these days it may not be feasible.

At the time, Sega did ok marketing the dreamcast. They had a huge line up of titles. It was almost everything one could ask for.

The issue was Sony released the PS2 a year later and convinced almost everyone it was far superior with the emotion engine.

Most people I knew at the time were convinced PS2 was next coming of Jesus and worth waitng for. Few people had multiple consoles, so Sega really got crushed by the competitive market and accumulated losses from their past mistakes.

That's pretty cool. Are you on target to ship?

I would also recommend writers to keep their digital books up to date and current. The book should not be considered finished the day it is released.

Jeff Geerling gave his devops books away (free) on multiple occasions. I chose to pay for them as he kept working on and improving them well after release.

If more writers took this approach, the quality would increase.

Those are two separate issues.

A tariff helps balance the playing field for US manufacturing and does not try to solve the hacked car scenario

US needs manufacturing and tariffs unfortunately are in part necessary

Ok,happy to be wrong in that case. I'm not sure where I read buybacks can be manipulated so I won't speculate further.

I've heard that buybacks can be weighted toward purchasing stock back from management and staff before buying back from the market.

If this is true, then I'd prefer dividends. I can put the capital in another company if I choose.

Buybacks seem like another lever to help management class cash out as a company starts to slump.

That does not sound correct. Sun exposure is still linked to melanoma risks. Regular sun exposure does increase protection (due to melanin in skin?) but doesn't remove the risks.

Being active in the sun for long period in New Zealand or Australia for example would put you at higher risk for melanoma due to higher UV exposure

In the case of infants, sometimes their ability to break down bilirubin is reduced. small amounts of sun exposure could be recommended

My understanding is when children are born they may get put under a uv light for this. Your grandparents knowledge may be prior to modern treatment

Panzer Dragoon made it to 1st gen Xbox iirc.

Saturn and following on, the Dreamcast were quite good and deserved more success.

It's probably too late but Mozilla should have pushed on with FF OS or some kind of operating system strategy.

By now they could have had it on large market of cheap phones with an app store to give some revenue. The phones with USB C could be a basic PC, like they envisioned in design concepts back in 2010.

Add slick, basic desktop to growing market of raspberry pi like devices... they'd have integrated their browser everywhere.

The chance to offer a phone that is also a PC is something no companies want to offer. They can't risk cannibalizing their existing products.

Mozilla should have done it.

Anyone curious and don't know my reference, search for 'mozilla seabird concept pico projector'

Is there any alternative archive?
