There was a time when a game taking up 262 MB of hard disk space was considered CRAZY, even by the game's own developers! 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️

So I just saw #TheFantasticFour: First Steps yesterday and it was a breath of fresh air! It was warm and enthralling and felt like a live action version of The Incredibles in so many ways. Loved the 60's retro futuristic vibe. Loved the fundamentally family centered feel. 9/10! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🤍

It's alive!
Removing the motherboard revealed that the CPU wasn't seated properly. Reseating it solved everything. Now the system is running #BeOS 4.5.2 with the Gobe Productive 2.0 office suite.
I'm delighted.

Somewhere out there, there's a dual-socket version of this system.

At first glance, it seems the motherboard isn't mounted properly.

🥳 Happy New Year, folks! 🍾🥂
For many of us the Year of the Linux Desktop came years ago, but may the rest of the world join us in 2025.
I finally got all the latest additions together for a New Year family portrait. I hope it warms your penguin lovin' hearts.

So I knew of SunPCI cards that add an x86 single board system to various #SPARC boxen via a PCI slot. But I'd never heard of the SparcPlug before!
It's basically a #SparcStation 20 that you slap into a full height 5.25" bay of an x86 system. That's awesome!

Can't say I do. I started with a USR Sportster at 14400, but 56K felt like the future when I finally upgraded. Not to mention my 128K DSL.
But of course I had to pick up a real Hayes Accura many years later for proper retro dial-up shenanigans.

Okay. Fair enough. But their web site points to the Play Store and doesn't mention F-Droid. 🤦🏾♂️
Given the choice between manually installing from GitHub or from the Play Store, I'd choose the Play Store any day. And there's no indication of the lack of feature parity between the two options.
