    After they killed Apollo, my usage after 15 years went from hours a day and tanked to a few minutes a month at present. They showed their hand, and I showed myself the door for the…

    Not to mention that to a large extent, you can spend the difference between stock unit prices making an Ender-3 v2 nearly as capable as a $799-$1,000 printer. Does it make sense? O…

    I 3D printed a QR code puck for my house wi-fi. It's an easy demonstration of at-home fabrication that elicits some conversation, without having to hand over a password.

    Some days, you have to wonder where we’d be if Pownce actually won out against Twitter back in the day. That Twitter won out ended up being more consequential than anyone could hav…

    AS&S is, in a relatively literal sense, next door to me. Fun bunch of folks whenever I stop by. But as a late 70s Gen Xer, I would never trade living through that transition period…

    Not only that: "Activision was the first independent, third-party, console video game developer." Growing up, that was the lens I always saw them through (and I had minor addiction…

    If you have a Neo Geo AES (home), MVS (arcade)or, more recently, Neo Geo CD, this is a table-stakes modification that unlocks quite a few features, including bypassing region restr…

    Pretty timely as I'm hunting down an old (practically bulletproof) Sony TC-D5M field recorder for my system here and want to know what I'm getting into since there are some known i…

    I can’t thing of a tech market segment more in need of “disruption” by now, quite honestly.
