If you want physical media to continue, you're a coward if you don't buy a copy of this.

Plus side of the AI crash: strung-out GPUs, SSDs, and RAM quickly flooding the market as companies liquidate hard assets. Negative side: the entire economy crashes and we'll be fighting each other for fresh rat meat, so we’ll have no money to buy them.

VPN providers with over 100,000 American users could be ordered to block pirate sites under the bill Rep. Darrell Issa introduced last week. Notably, this is not the only U.S. site blocking bill that’s being prepared. Senator Thom Tillis and Rep. Zoe Lofgren are working on a similar bill.

Here's the first of two little things I've made to celebrate 60 years of a television show that became more television shows (plus some movies) and sometimes dropped some nuggets of actual wisdom. Happy #StarTrekDay to all who celebrate. 🖖

A recreation of a classic poster that reads:

All I need to know about life I learned from Star Trek

Below that is an illustration of the original series Enterprise. And below that is a justified list of quotes and aphorisms divided by delta bullet points. The list reads:

• Seek out new life and new civilizations
• Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end
• There’s no such thing as a Vulcan death grip
• Even in fear, you can still step forward
• It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life
• Never trust a planet that looks exactly like Earth
• It’s a long road
• There are four lights!
• The first duty is to the truth
• Go fast!
• When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains must be the truth
• We are all explorers
• It’s difficult to work in groups when you're omnipotent
• Sometimes, hope is a choice
• Fortune favors the bold
• It’s easy to be a saint in paradise
• Don't believe in no-win scenarios
• We all deserve to belong somewhere
• Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and never abandon a member of your crew
• Boldly go where no one has gone before!

When I got the news, the first thing my spouse said to me was "doesn't matter: school comes first". It's so incredible having a spouse this supportive. I kind of won at life, you know? 🥰

Getting laid off over Labor Day weekend is the kind of delicious irony you can only appreciate when you've already written off your entire industry as a lost cause. Mercifully: I saw it coming and planned for it. My last job in the tech field. Good riddance.

Double-tap time! Just a quick note that the new COVID vaccine for '26-'27 is out now, and available at *some* locations. We just popped in to get our flu shots, and when I asked when the new COVID jabs would be coming in, they said, "We got 'um", so 2 pokes it was and, unusually, just before RCCC.

1982's Conan the Barbarian is a movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger kicking ass and fighting snakes...but it also presents a far more thoughtful, sympathetic version of Conan than people realize. Let's talk beefy heroes, Thulsa Doom, and...feminism?

An important note to people new to the MiSTer scene: we all just kind of do whatever we want. So chill with the harping on everyone to honor your demands. Or go ask a slop coder, I dunno. Just stop being annoying to everyone.

Finishing up a huge round of feedback for the #Zaparoo Frontend. Massive optimisations throughout for browsing, some design tweaks and working on some configurable colour palettes. Planning for a release next week after some Core features. Also wanna do some fun things like background music manager
