Nobody walked out their door without a hat back then.

I must be the only person on Earth who isn't into comics. I'm not sure I've even seen an entire comic/superhero movie since Batman Forever with Val Kilmer. I think I saw most of The Dark Knight. I probably should watch some of them. They are on cable tv all the time. Do I need to know...

Mark Papermaster... That's a name I haven't seen/heard before.

Don't you mean,"Huang in there everyone?" ;) Pull up a stock market chart for the last decade+ and it's pretty clear the market ran up too far, too fast over the last couple years. There's no way that parabolic rise was sustainable. Even after the latest plunge, in which the DOW is down ~15%...

I appreciate this kind of post. Even though my laptop is too old and crappy to play any games, I've managed to gradually accumulate older games on Steam/Epic, etc., for free/cheap, because of the links shared here. At some point I'll build a new system and I'll be able to play them. Thanks, [H].

Yes, this laptop has integrated intel graphics. I also just learned that the system will also not play any audio, either, after waking from sleep mode. When I click on "listen live" on a radio station website, nothing plays. When I go into my audio settings and do a sound test, there's no...

I am running a recently-installed copy of Windows 10 on a new ssd, on a 10-year-old laptop. The last few days I've noticed that when my system wakes up from sleep mode, videos no longer play correctly. Videos embedded in Twitter start running, but stutter badly and keep starting over after...

My old laptop is dying and one of these days I'd like to get back into modest gaming (after a LONG absence). However, I'd want a mid-range card, but I won't spend more than $200 for any component. All I could get for <$200 now is a 1050.

I have a 10-year-old HP laptop. A few months ago, I began to hear a noise. I would describe it as a scratchy, staticky, whisper. For quite a while I assumed it was the hard drive. The drive is also going bad and causing problems, so that made sense. However, recently, clues have turned my...

The guys on CNBC this morning were shocked that anyone would turn down the offered deal.

One of my neighbors has had Dish for years, but just in the last week they took their dish down and put up an antenna in its place.

What's with the candy cane stripes on their windmills? They look awful.

I enjoyed TLJ. I go in not expecting too much, though, and I know none of the new Star Wars movies will feel like the originals or be as good as Empire. Yeah, some of the criticisms are justified. There was a bit of cheesiness and contrived story, and the writers sometimes seem to pull stuff...

The first two seasons of TNG are actually my favorites. There's just something about the stories and style I like.
