I’m cautiously optimistic. #Disney has clearly learned lessons as the #LiveAction Lilo & Stitch trailer hits a lot of recognizable beats from the source, but they’ve also made a lot of changes. I fear too much, but we’ll see. #animation #movies www.youtube.com/watch

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Spinning rust hard drives have improved significantly over the years, but they still fail. To have 26TB of #storage on a single drive and lose it to failure would be catastrophic, so make sure to get more than three. #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…

#Apple has rolled out a surprise update for #macOS #Sequoia for 15.3.1 to 15.3.2. This appears to be a #security patch for #Safari to secure a previously patched exploit that hackers have likely found a way around. Mr. Macintosh details the update. #tech www.youtube.com/watch

The wife and I have been seriously diggin' on #Goose of late, and this new-to-us video is a fantastic illustration of their greatness. Bring over the peeps and turn it up, then prepare to grin until it hurts. #music #jambands www.youtube.com/watch

A mistake? You don’t say, #Volkswagen. Removing all buttons from your EVs not working out? Well, don’t get too excited as the capitulation is only starting with the ID.2all in the European market, and it’ll be just five of the most used controls. #cars #roadsafety tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…

How refreshing! It seems there is a new #OpenSource #Windows-compatible OS project called #Free95 on #GitHub. It is clearly in the very early stages of Alpha testing. The dev is open to contributors and would like to get Doom running. Naturally :) tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…

OMFG, #CNN!! Stop saying #ElonMusk is brilliant!! He is NOT! He is a con, not a genius. He buys things. He does not invent things. He didn’t even invent the concept of taking credit for the work of others!! This person has no original ideas. #capitalism #grifters #tesla #spacex

So, we tried watching Suits LA episode 2. I have regrets. It was worse than the pilot. If it’s unclear, we will not be continuing the series. If you loved #Suits, do NOT try to watch this. #TV www.slashfilm.com/1801618/s…

While #Capitalism touts the amazing benefits that #AI will bring us (don’t concern yourself with when) and jams it into everything it can and forces it into everything it cannot, everyday people are cornered into dealing with the toxic fallout. #tech #bullshit news.slashdot.org/story/25/…

There is a very dear price we will pay if we allow our elected leaders to keep leaning into the Overton Window #TFG smashed open. In other words, the #Democrats need to be taught what #FAFO really means and now, not in 2026. #uspol rimaregasblog42.substack.com/p/those-w…

Back in September of 2024 I speculated that #TSMC’s #Apple A16 chip production in the US would end up in the next #iPad. Nice to see I was on the right track. Of course, we weren’t taking the tariff threats seriously at the time. #tech 9to5mac.com/2025/03/0…

If, like me, you always need Jay & Silent Bob in your life, then hit your local #comicbook shop on July 9th to pick up Kevin Smith Presents: Archie Meets Jay & Silent Bob #1. Yes. Another epic crossover. #books #comics #ViewAskew www.gamesradar.com/comics/ar…

Hmm. Mario Day (March 10th) is almost upon us, and #Nintendo has a really great… um, deal. A #SwitchOLED, Mario Wonder, and 3-months of Nintendo Switch Online for $349. Maybe not so timely, though, since we’re less than a month away from #Switch2. #videogames www.engadget.com/deals/mar…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Rush Time Machine Live (Cleveland 2011). At some point I’ll need to write about #Rush and what they mean to me. For now, just watch the best trio in rock for nearly 3 hours. #music #rock #progrock youtu.be/a0sbKY0K5…

Well, this is annoying. It turns out that the cast of #StargateUniverse found out that the show had been cancelled like everyone else… when the news broke in the media. The #SyFy series was a fantastic new take on the #Stargate formula that deserved better. #TV #scifi www.slashfilm.com/1795353/s…

The wife and I spent most of the conveniently placed dialogue-free sections eagerly speculating on what was going on in this film and were pleasantly surprised when we were mostly wrong. Very well written, directed, and acted with excellent visual work. #movies #thegorge #AppleTV #scifi

I’m not fond of this, @macworld.com. The idea that the Touch Bar, that was mostly unsupported by both #Apple and app developers, was coveted is specious, at best. If it was, we’d still have it today. And no mention of this being a refurb until the end? Wow. #capitalism www.macworld.com/article/2…
