"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." But it should have been, like Bush said: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

10.9 seems also to be the last version that had an "depth" to the icons.

All I could think about watching the trailer was that this must be a game based on Starship Troopers.

I remember people I knew wanting the Matrox because it was possible to have duel screen on Linux. They usually had a huge grin on LAN parties, once they got their breath back from carrying two heavy CRT monitors and a PC tower. Good times.

Earlier this year, a few weeks before the price hike, I bought an MacBook Air M5, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Long battery life and silent. The last part is important for me. I've gotten so fed up over the years by Wintel (Windows/Intel) machines where the fans are always running, even when idle.

My last Mac was an MacBook Air from 2011 (now we can talk about "a little sluggish"). I also don't dislike the current MacOS, although I do prefer the older look to the new one. But this is from a person using Windows 11 at work, so everything is a step up, right?

I love client side validation.

At least there will be a copy left for us. The AI companies won't share these books in their original form.

Thanks for the patience. After a good nights sleep I see it straight away... "Now includes well rested brain".

Yeah, sorry... It did not. Is it a reference I don't get?

Link number 2, about Tim Paterson, was new to me. Thanks.

As the article stated; they made the boxes before they had secured the license. I.e. the boxes were made before the content was ready.

Maybe it's as simple as for the people making the boxes, it didn't contain Tetris from the start. And when they got the license, in their head, it now did have Tetris.

It's a long time since I used Facebook on a regular basis, but Instagram is a weak spot where I have had to set the phone to give me just 10 minutes per day, then shut it off. Now I can go days without opening the app, and I usually manage to exit before the time is up.

I can highly recommend the book "Carless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams if you want to know just how bad it really is/was. Just remember that this is just one side of the story. Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg (no longer at Meta) probably have a different story.
