The actual title is “macOS 27 'Golden Gate' delivers more Liquid Glass and updated Siri”.

The title is misspelled. It's “Let's Encrypt”, with an apostrophe.

Did you actually play Tempest on the Atari 2600? As far as I know, Atari did a prototype, but never shipped it.

Portability between different computers is only a secondary reason for the Z-machine. The most important reason is code size, making the largest possible game that can fit on a floppy disk.

See the article “How to Fit a Large Program Into a Small Machine” by Marc S. Blank and S. W. Galley, in the July 1980 issue of Creative Computing. https://archive.org/details/creativecomputing-1980-07/page/n...

Hopefully, you're using ARC by now, so that's a no-op!

Are you confusing Motorola Mobility with Motorola Solutions? The article is about Motorola Mobility, which makes cell phones. Motorola Solutions makes two-way radios and surveillance systems. They split in 2011.

Also, the original title is only 77 characters long, so there was no reason to change it. And the title should never be changed to something that misrepresents the article.

Karp has also bought into the myth that fentanyl can be ingested by contact. It can't, unless it's been prepared as a patch, and those act slowly.

I actually used an Amiga to browse the web, back in 1994 or 1995. I started with Lynx, but then I switched to a graphical browser (probably Mosaic).

This was an Amiga 500 with maxed-out RAM (8 MB) and a hard drive.

Title has a typo, should say “framerate”.

Are these the cars where the safety driver is in a car tailing the robotaxi, or do they actually run without the need for a safety driver?

Good point. The title needs “(2014)”.

As far as I can tell, they aren't making actual CRTs, they're using modern display technology to simulate the appearance.

Someone should make a parody video game called Rouge Trader.
