Gwen Stacey died of whiplash when Spidey tried to catch her with a web shot and she stopped too fast, snapping her neck.

Pineapples are compound berries.

Honestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple’s brand is partially form over function.

Totally on board, but you can’t have Yakko and Wakko without Dot.

A new take on the Steam Machine could potentially knock Xbox out of the market in their current state, and I’m okay with that.

It was pretty quick, just 639 to 642. The western half of the Roman Empire had already collapsed and the eastern half wasn’t doing much better.

They’re only doing two seasons, so the slow decline would have to be over the course of about ten episodes.

Actually, it means that not everybody was kung-fu fighting. The position of ‘not’ is important.

Unless it’s a 24 hour clock.

I want Villeneuve to adapt God Emperor just to have the slight possibility of McAvoy reprising his role as Leto.

Nobody ever gave the Atreides and Harkonen their book colors, either. But I’d say the 1984 Feyd-Rautha has red hair.

The planet killer can’t fire very frequently. Realistically, they just need to get within transporter range, send drones over, and start assimilating the ship. If they can avoid the first shot from the superlaser or just have a second ship, they’re probably fine. Unless the Death Star has Vader on board.

Looking at release dates, just a couple days before Bookworm came out. I’ll have to try that one.

I really wish they would release a new Steam Controller with the Deck’s inputs.

The ‘printer of fire’ error used to be a legitimate and important concern. Ye olde printers really could light their paper on fire under certain circumstances and they would typically be huge devices in dedicated rooms rather than something right next to your system. Letting people know to check on it when specific things went wrong probably saved a few buildings from burning down with people in them.

Yes, but it’s significantly less automatic. Testing distros on an old laptop, Debian wouldn’t support the network card out of the box and I had to use USB tethering from my phone to get the necessary drivers off the internet. Ubuntu just had them in the image and installed them automatically.

The pro upped the storage to 2TB, but I really feel like when the PS5 launched we were at the point where they should have shipped with 4TB drives.

He’s always depicted as hand-to-mouth poor.

And when he started a business and started doing well financially they introduced a second Spider-Man who was broke again.

That was a problem I actually had when I had no budget, was buying old parts, and then running them way longer than they were intended. I kept everything clean, the tower wasn’t on the carpet, and there were no smokers or pets shedding fur, but that PSU eventually started outputting significantly lower than it was rated for. The previous owner could have done something to it, or it could have been a crappy model to begin with, but it was about fifteen years old and I was told by several more veteran computer folks that PSUs would drop off in power output eventually and this wasn’t surprising.

Yep. The max wattage on a PSU goes down over time, so you want to overshoot somewhat to keep it useful for longer. Power requirements also typically go up over time with new hardware, but I think that’s been slowing down.
