...get to a point where they are too hard to get past* so I don't see the rest of the game.

(*my kids are grown up now and moved out so they can't help me anymore!)

Very similar to my watch face "Drop Time".
I'm very happy to see my apps available again!

That's what I used to do, but Android lets me block/report a number from the call screen.

That's great!

I drive past it a few times a week dropping my wife at her work.

Thanks, that's good to know!

Nice! I've not seen one of those watches, but hopefully the fact its WearOS means it works!

Saw Tim Key live in Manchester the other week (Deansgate Bowl). Wasn't sure what to expect, but he was absolutely hilarious. The highlight of the comedy night.

One of my favourite series of books!

It obviously depends what you are saving. In a NES game you were usually only saving the level and number of lives.
A modern game is saving a lot more, especially if they player can create characters etc.
Even adding a £1 to the cost of a cartridge soon mounts up when you make the of thousands.

In a game I worked on we (devs) wanted to save a bit more days than the publisher had allowed for. To move up to a bigger save memory was going to cost the publisher an extra £128k for the relatively small cartridge run. We didn't get the extra memory.

It's terrifying how quickly they grow up.

Seeing my grandkids makes me think "I remember when you were that age!" of their mum. It doesn't feel that long ago!

He almost certainly won't.
I've recommended books etc over the years to my (now adult) kids, usually got an "It was ok." at best.

Autocorrect strikes again:-

"*stuck* in old tech"

"*In* the TV version"

Sorry!

I see what you are saying, it still feels like the TV series has binned most of the concepts from the books though.
The Empire was such in old tech, The Foundation had to find new a way. I'm the TV version The Empire basically the has it all.

I'd say it's good if you haven't read the books.

The books had a good story. The series basically throws it all away.

I don't feel too old, but I do feel tired. I'm 60 next year.

I'm in the process of doing the same thing, they'll remove it if I don't move to API 35.

I use Ubuntu, it's definitely a smooth install.

However, that BIOS "Safe Boot Mode" thing feels like manufacturers (or Microsoft) trying to get in the way of people changing their OS easily.
