I have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.

I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.

The dread and despair is so real.

Gives Event Horizon vibes

Wholesome ♥️

It has high integration with both the Capcom Hyper Advanced Intensity Rig and the Sony Optical Firmware Adapter

Then you’ll also be really disappointed to hear that I’ve been sitting on this for over 40 years.

Yes, if you have the Logic Unit Base Expansion

I’ve loved the SGI industrial design since I first saw it in the 90s. It still feels futuristic to me today.

Yet more anti-consumer technology to go alongside the gates that won’t let you out until you scan your receipt, the ANPR in the car park, the hair-trigger scales on the bagging area, etc. All to crush that extra penny of profit from us.

UK has American-supplied and maintained nukes so maybe not a great long-term prospect?

How about, you give me AI ‘enhancement’ and more ads and I’ll give you my solemn word to never use your browser again? Deal?

That’s more optimistic than I am about it. My first thought was that they will just abandon the ports and contribute nothing to the ecological disaster of the left over oil and petrochemicals polluting the seas.

Totally valid, I love Apple trackpads, makes PC laptop trackpads pale in comparison

Having used Apple computers since the Apple II+, I think I’m allowed to say that the vast majority of Apple’s mouse designs have been utter trash. The one that I might give a pass to is the ADB Mouse 2. I’m not expecting Apple to change the habit of a lifetime by designing a comfortable mouse.

Hail to the King, baby!

Obligatory shout-out for any Bullfrog games of that era, especially Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2. Lionhead’s Black & White is 1 year out of your window, but such a good game.

Also:
Syndicate Wars
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Grim Fandango
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Descent
Grand Theft Auto

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes ranks number one for me; the original story with updated control scheme and graphics is awesome. Then it’s a toss up between 2 and V. 2 is a solid game in the same mould as the first, but V allows me to Fulton extract unsuspecting enemies which is a genius mechanic that allows me an immense range of fuckery.

I’d forgotten all about Google+ until you made this observation
