I think this article from The Onion in 1997 anticipates the Amazon Echo Auto perfectly.

Every once in a while, viewing a web site (this time the BBC) with JavaScript disabled and an ad blocker results in some pretty funny stuff.

I’ve got a 1988 boom box hooked up to a 2019 music workstation with Logic Pro X so I can digitise some crappy songs I made back in 1991.

I plugged in my 1 that I bought on day 1 in June 2007. It runs iOS 3. The App Store STILL has apps for it. Can you believe that? Go find an Android phone from 2007 and see what love Google is willing to give it.

Marketing math. Making mac and cheese in 10 minutes:
1. Boil 6 cups of water (takes 0 minutes)
2. Cook pasta 9-11 minutes (takes 9 minutes, even if you boil for 11 minutes)
3. Drain pasta (0 seconds because you multitask)
4. Add butter and stir (30 seconds)
5. Add pasta back to pan and stir (30 seconds)

Amazing how this is in any way β€œin 10 minutes”

We are truly in a new era of politics if you can ascend to any position of leadership with a name like Dick Braine.

Uncovered a box of artifacts at my folks’ house. Original Dungeons & Dragons books from 1970s and 1980s!

I’m at a hotel bar in Dublin. A man orders a pot of tea and a glass of ice. He proceeds to mix them himself at the bar. Guess the man’s accent. 😜

At my new house in the US, these are my speed choices. 100Mbps, 300M, or 1 Gigabit! I currently have about 70Mb via BT in London. It's fine. I can't justify the gigabit connection. What am I missing?

I feel pretty confident that no β€œover 50s” are involved in this app or its advertisements. Why not marvel at the fact that β€œover 50s” haven’t kicked the bucket yet? The only people who might find this amusing are young people. Someone should get a refund.
