Creaks. It’s a puzzle platformer sort of in the style of Limbo and Inside. Beautiful hand drawn graphics. Really challenging puzzles. And the music feels like it organically evolves as you progress through the game.

Do you happen to have a source for this claim? I did some cursory searches on this just now and found nothing except for one reddit thread where one person said the same thing but again with no source.

In the 00s I used to download pirated movies and tv shows off of these asian YouTube clones. There were english boards with links to videos on these sites so finding specific movies or shows was easy. They were often split in 10 minute parts. 240p at best. Audio was often out of sync. I’d then load them onto my click wheel iPod (“iPod classic”) and watch them in bed. It’s how I watched a lot of movies my parents wouldn’t let me see, like Alien. It’s also how I watched nearly all of MST3K.

Increasing diagnoses of depression, not depression itself.

I think some of it was used in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I feel like every year Anker is recalling one of their power banks. Couple of years ago I had to return one of mine, but I have two other Anker models. Does Anker do more recalls than other brands?

A relative of mine last week ended up in the hospital because for several months he was “treating” a foot wound (maybe a bad spider bite?) with ivermectin and oils. It never healed then he developed a really awful infection that spread over his whole foot up to his knee.

Yeah, I’ve always hated that about Apple, and I primarily use Apple products. They have opened up a little bit in the last few years though. Like in macOS you can choose from a few different accent colors, you can turn borders on around buttons (I think that’s a contrast setting in accessibility), you can turn off transparency, and you can change the color of your mouse cursor (mine is now hot pink—never lose sight of it).

I mean, I’m not entirely opposed to some translucency and gloss if it doesn’t get in the way of legibility. For me early Mac OS X ‘Aqua’ circa 2003 is the peak of that aesthetic.

Any UI theme should also be applied consistently. What I hated about Vista is the Aero theme was only surface deep. You were always only a few clicks away from some program that look liked it hadn’t been updated since Windows 95.

I’ve run into gen-z people talking very nostalgically about 2000s UI design trends. They’ve even retroactively dubbed the era as ‘futiger aero’.

I’m a bit older and don’t as fondly remember that era; I remember a lot of excesses like nonsensical reflections and calendar apps with leather textures. The 2013 turn to “flat” design felt quite fresh to me, and I haven’t really gotten tired of it yet.

I want to lick it.

thanks!

Anyone have a link to a version large enough for a 4k wallpaper?

I remember aged 5 watching my dad install Windows 95 from the floppy disk edition. I think that took like a dozen or so floppies?

Are you interpreting it literally? It’s a figure of speech—a kind of hyperbole; it’s just a way of implying something was common, not that literally every person had one.

Whether it actually was common though, I don’t know. Joe here might be taking some liberties for the sake of a catchy thumbnail.

Must be a Murphy bathtub.

It’s really easy now to scan an entire book with your phone. There are apps (eg Scanner Pro) that can take pictures of two pages at once and split them into individual pdf pages.

I done this with several books over the years. I place my phone on a tripod, point it down on a well lit book, and start scanning. A 300 page book might take about an hour to scan.

It depends on your needs. The typography and image quality is much superior for print than ebooks usually. That being said, I still get ebooks for large reference books so I can search them and copy/paste, eg programming related books. I also read foreign language ebooks so I can lookup the meaning of any word I don’t know with my phone’s dictionaries, or translate a phrase or sentence.

It’s still probably significantly cheaper than Uber/Lyft.
