Oh wow! Remember this crazy Sony thing during the UMPC era? Someone is working on a drop-in replacement motherboard that will upgrade it to a modern CPU so it can be used to fix broken devices or, in their words, “drag this classic handheld into the modern era.” #retrocomputing www.reddit.com/r/umpc/co…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Toad the Wet Sprocket - All You Want (Bonus Edition)(2023). This is a re-release of the 2011 re-recordings of the band re-performing a number of their popular songs in the studio. Some peeps find this disappointing. I like it. #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Tal Wilkenfeld - Transformation (2007). One of my favorite bassists. First saw her watching Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott’s. I believe she was 19 then. #music #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch

I’m all in for the idea that #Nintendo’s #Switch2 Joycons will have a mouse mode, especially if we get Game Pass and in-home streaming. I’m not into Epic, but I have a ton of games there because they can’t stop giving away bangers. #videogames daringfireball.net/linked/20…

Time to switch your PC desktops and laptops to #Linux, peeps! Back up all your stuff, make a copy of your #Windows install, then install #LinuxMint Cinnamon Edition, which you can get here: www.linuxmint.com/download…. #tech #capitalism

Or just get a base #MacMini.

Since bingo cards seem to be the current metric by which culture is judged, I sure as hell didn’t have “Bitchin’ New OK Go Music Video” on mine. I’ll have to watch it again for the lyrics, though. It’s just too mesmerizing the first time! #music #pop #musicvideo www.youtube.com/watch

I don’t really care that there have been #Nintendo #Switch2 leaks. I mean, what’s really been revealed? Not much at all. Most of it remains a mystery. But this take from Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya is comically hilarious. #tech #videogames kotaku.com/bayonetta…

Wow #Canon. This is lame. Apparently, if you want to use your camera as a webcam, you have to pay them $5 a month. Now, that gets you “PRO” features like 60FPS, watermarks, and setting hotkeys, so… you know. #tech #capitalism #wtaf romanzipp.com/blog/no-y…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Spock’s Beard (2007). The band’s ninth album which was released to mixed reviews, still polarizes some listeners, but still garnered solid reviews. I personally love it. #music #ProgressiveRock www.youtube.com/watch

This is just dumb, #Ferrari. Silly. If you’re going to make an #EV do it without the petty nod to your petrol-based past. Forge a new path forward. And while you’re at it do something about that lozenge you call a design. #cars #tech www.autoblog.com/news/ferr…
