Currently watching the Superfriends on MeTV Toons, and the team is trying to stop the G.E.E.C., a machine that can take over everything humanity can do.

Do you have an old laptop sitting on a shelf that you never use?
Great! You have a low-wattage media server ready and waiting to go. Jellyfin has you covered.
Can't upgrade it to Windows 10? Linux Mint is all you need.

In the first Superman comic of the new millenium, Braniac brings the City of Tomorrow into tomorrow with a forcible tech upgrade. Fortunately for mild mannered reporter Clark Kent, Braniac rather adorably thinks phone booths are still a thing.

On TV: the local countdown ("New Year at the Needle"). The hosts are wearing rather bad "2026" glasses (trying to put the lens part in the second "2"?!).

Welcome to the Public Domain, THE PICNIC (1930) 🐕
🐾 Little Rover barked onto the scene as Minnie’s dog in THE PICNIC (1930). He’d get a new name (Pluto) & a new owner, Mickey Mouse, the following year.
