Had a VHS tape converted to a DVD. Now I need to find a DVD player....

Really enjoyed seeing “1917” 👍👍🎥

Hey https://www.websteronline.com, two things are wrong in this picture. #1 I'm using Firefox 72, not 68.0, #2 I'm pretty sure 72 > 52

https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp02-4g-mobile-phone/ is another one but apparently doesn't work on Verizon

I do like the idea of having a phone that can just make calls and text, but also tether a laptop. I would definitely use that feature during my commute.

I could see myself buying one of these "dumb" phones this year. I want to set a better example for my kids and not be on my phone all the time. My existing iPhone7 could be used as an iPod Touch while on wifi, which I'm sure I'd use just as much at home, or I could get an iPad which I feel is more explicit in its usage to act as a deterrent.

Each has their pros & cons unfortunately with no clear winner.

The visuals in Avatar are still really good even after all these years since its release.

I think I would be sold on getting a @purism #librem13 if it were to include USB-C. Love the form factor and styling.

I like the collection of technical leadership and management books I’ve been collecting. I’ve been donating old or outdated books to my local library, borrowing when I can and purchasing the ones not available. 📚📖

Saw “The Rise of Skywalker” last night. 👍👍

Really enjoying the “On The Metal” podcast by Oxide Computer. Brings back lots of good memories messing around and breaking computers back in the 90’s.

I also have a green “killer bees” #MtG deck that I like playing with. I was there was a good online way to play with custom decks on a Mac.

Found a white “Magic: The Gathering” deck I copied onto a printed Excel sheet but never had all the cards. Bought the remaining cards from https://cardkingdom.com to finally complete it after 15+ years. No idea when I’ll actually play with it. #MtG

Replaced this mess of old HDMI and component cables with 10m of HDMI 2.1 8K ready thin cable.....for my NES classic. 🎮👾

Found myself re-implementing the same CDN setup over and over again for every serverless project I worked on, so I created https://github.com/smoketurner/serverless-cdn as a GitHub template repo for people to start from
