I have this Intel MacMini with Linux Mint on it. I want to install a new OS from USB, but holding Option does not bring up the list of devices to boot from. Has anyone an idea why, or how to get it to work, please? When I hold Option an turn it on, the screen stays black. I’m thankful for any hint!

No waterbeds or oversized fish tanks, either. #playdate

A Playdate running Bedbeard’s Revenge. A dialog box says “City Park. No alcohol unless you brought enough for everyone.”

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

Aftermath making an irrefutable point that should be relentlessly blasted at companies who (supposedly) make products for consumers to enjoy: Three years in, what can you really say that AI has added to your products that consumers actually like? At what point is it time to audit the magic beans?

Almost half a decade into its tenure as tech's goose that does not lay golden eggs so much as it produces golden something else, Al remains a series of solutions in search of problems. No one is asking for a chatbot that will play the game for you. No one is asking for a different chatbot that will pretend to be a video game character, throwing any sense of drama or pacing out the window so you can try to break it with sweet nothings. No one is asking for eerie yassified mannequin faces that clash with a game's art direction. Developers, especially, are not asking for these features, which threaten to pave over their hard work with a messy Slip 'N' Slide of slop. Years after we were promised that generative Al would be the future, this is the best some of the biggest companies in the world can offer. The future is now, and it sucks just as much as it did several years ago.

You might say, "Isn't this a reskinned Santa-themed Boulder Dash?" to which I might say, "Aren't you supposed to be charitable on Christmas?" (Source.)

A game for the C64. The red sprite of Santa, the player character, is in a cul-de-sac of snow. If he breaches the wall to the left, he will be buried. If he breaches the block to his right, a boulder will fall on him. Three presents appear on the screen, but there's no clear path to them. To the right, the UI says "ICICLE WORKS. PLAYER 1 ROOM 4 TIME 00077 SCORE 00030 MEN 00000"
