Cars in the 60’s had bench seats that were pretty much couches. Hard to beat that.

I made Windows XP run for 40 days using a custom shell. Things got a bit weird, I ran defrag and memory optimization often.

All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka

Book was great. Never bothered to see the movie with tom cruise.

I mean, it’s not so far from the truth. Based on many metrics, it is a Third World country

Yup.

Steve Jobs proved that consumers don’t actually know what they want until you tell them. And it’s the manufacturers job to tell them what they want and deliver it.

Since Apple doesn’t want a bigger battery that means no one gets a bigger battery.

Ads have ruined everything.

1. Reagan
2. Trump

Don’t forget George W. Bush. Not a celebrity bit certainly an idiot.

You monster!

Yup. The data was encoded on the back of the plastic disc. So long as the “label” surface wasn’t scratched you can resurface the bottom.

Enter the Void (2009). Super trippy and one of those movies that leaves you wondering about everything each time you watch it.

Ironic that reddit goes the way of digg.

You can’t fix stupid.

I guess it’s hard to find Chicken Wraps that are willing to work for $3/hr.

So tired of Elon bs posts. Thanks

All of it.

Looks good man. I played with the same stuff trying to get windows to be more Linux like and not suck so much.

I remember being really proud of finding and configuring some desktop application that showed all the CPU usage, memory statistics, etc.

That, and like just adding functionality that you would think would be part of an OS like being able to control your music from someplace or customizable shortcuts.

Quicksilver changed how I use the Mac when I transition over from a PC. Quicksilver made everything make sense. I think my favorite thing at the time was the customizable global shortcuts, and being able to just start typing the name of some thing and launch it. Instead of having 1 million icons in shortcuts on the on the dock just the few that I always used.

On PC in the early 2000s I started customizing the windows xp shell because it was so basic. I used something few people have probably used: Geoshell.

It was a skinnable replacement for the windows UI with various plug-ins to customize functionality. I guess it was similar to what was available in Linux at the time as far as the window manager. It was also more stable since explorer wasn’t also handling all of the UI tasks.

I think my record for uptime was like 47 days on Windows XP without having to reboot. Granted, things got kind of funky and it wasn’t perfect.

I even learned how to make my own skins, which at the time was pretty difficult to do in windows xp.

Quicksilver.
