Its amazing what Chuck Peddle accomplished

If they like reading comics, then get a stack of comics.

I allowed them to stay up later (if they want) but the condition is that time only can be used for reading. They really enjoyed that and it helped.

In time they traded the comics to fiction novels and their reading ability kept improving. They now get books from the library on their own and read quite a lot for their age. No parental pressure needed, they are addicted.

I used to imagine running some kind of second hand book business (non profit) when I retire. Sad that these days it may not be feasible.

The issue was Sony released the PS2 a year later and convinced almost everyone it was far superior with the emotion engine.

Most people I knew at the time were convinced PS2 was next coming of Jesus and worth waitng for. Few people had multiple consoles, so Sega really got crushed by the competitive market and accumulated losses from their past mistakes.

Jeff Geerling gave his devops books away (free) on multiple occasions. I chose to pay for them as he kept working on and improving them well after release.

If more writers took this approach, the quality would increase.

A tariff helps balance the playing field for US manufacturing and does not try to solve the hacked car scenario

US needs manufacturing and tariffs unfortunately are in part necessary

If this is true, then I'd prefer dividends. I can put the capital in another company if I choose.

Buybacks seem like another lever to help management class cash out as a company starts to slump.

Being active in the sun for long period in New Zealand or Australia for example would put you at higher risk for melanoma due to higher UV exposure

My understanding is when children are born they may get put under a uv light for this. Your grandparents knowledge may be prior to modern treatment

Saturn and following on, the Dreamcast were quite good and deserved more success.

By now they could have had it on large market of cheap phones with an app store to give some revenue. The phones with USB C could be a basic PC, like they envisioned in design concepts back in 2010.

Add slick, basic desktop to growing market of raspberry pi like devices... they'd have integrated their browser everywhere.

The chance to offer a phone that is also a PC is something no companies want to offer. They can't risk cannibalizing their existing products.

Mozilla should have done it.

Anyone curious and don't know my reference, search for 'mozilla seabird concept pico projector'

I'd pay per title if the prices were reasonable. It does seem like a missed opportunity. I know plenty of people in their 40s who'd more likely slap money on retro titles than they would on any new game.

Internet forums never were quite the same to me.

Would be great if they made a console that let you play most games from master system, genesis, saturn to dreamcast.

The plugins don't always upgrade easily or work well together in the future.

Wordpress is ok for some situations, I'm not against using it. I've seen enough times where it's been used and another solution Django or Drupal may have been a smarter long term option.
