Buffy is a real name?!

And I bet you that I could still fit an XP-era weather app or widget on top of XP and Xenoblade inside that 256/384MB of RAM.

I was replaying Xenoblade Chronicles on my Switch 2 and the whole time I was thinking about how this ENORMOUS, open world game originated on the Nintendo Wii, a console with only 8…

I miss that quite a lot. For the past 20 years the Web has been a sterile wasteland full of minimalist white and grays and 0 personality.

It was fun at the beginning but I got bored of it 2/3rds of the way in. The puzzles were an absolute chore to figure out and solve and the story kinda run out of steam.

It boggles my mind how modern gnome doesn't come with a traditional desktop that you have to install an extension to enable.

The Ryanair website is a who's who of everything you're supposed to avoid in UI/UX design.

Same! My PC broke down and I couldn't afford to repair it for several months. Yet I didn't miss it much as I had a Dreamcast with a keyboard and mouse. That web browser became one …

Whenever I was forced to interact with OneDrive, I couldn't help imagining the proverbial digital duct tape holding everything together behind the scenes.

Thanks to AI, Dylan and Brenda can finally end up together.

My first thought was "what year is this"?

The amount of overlap in Stelantis’ lineup is completely absurd. I can’t understand how anyone thought it was a good idea to develop seven or eight models in the same segment (this…

I miss the crazy, unconventional Citroën of yore.

Even though I don't necessarily like it, I understand why they solder the RAM on the SOC: Higher bandwidth/greater performance, better power efficiency, etc. But they have no excus…

Vista was an absolute dumpster fire but in no way compares to the awfulness of ME.

I've lived through every evolution of Windows from 3.1 up to 11 and Millenium/2000 still remains my favourite and I will always consider it the most 'get-shit-done' UI that Microso…

I believe that Firefox does it but not as frequently as Chrome does, but don't quote me on it. However, I am using a "tab suspender" addon on firefox to control how fast the unload…

HN is as close to social media as my 3rd grade talent show was to Michael Jackson's Super Bowl halftime show.

Calling 2026's facebook, instagram, tiktok, xshitter, whatever "social media" is like calling a casino "the 3rd place that you socialise out with your mates".

There aren’t any 3rd party repair shops close to me that are in Apple’s Independent Repair Provider network, so if I were to choose a random repair shop my only real option with th…

In order to have my iPhone 11's battery replaced by my local apple authorised repair shop, inexplicably I have to leave my phone with them for days. Since the phone is old they hav…

No kidding. Last time I used Enlightenment back in the late 90s, both KDE 1.x and GNOME 1.x were orders of magnitude more usable on my lowly Pentium MMX 166 with 16 MB of RAM.

They’re doomed to repeat the cycle of reinventing Clippy every few years and always failing at it.

That must be an american thing because I guarantee you that it doesn't mean anything for the rest of the world.

She and Technology Connections are two of my favourite YouTube channels. Also I love her geocities website so much: https://lauriewired.com/
