Star Wars Outlaws was released at the end of September to mixed reviews. Many of the early reviews and YouTube reactions were highly negative. I'm not here to tell you that Outlaws is perfect, but it's fun and feels like an immersive Star Wars experience. — Read the rest ...
'Did you vote today?' seemed like a simple question, until Jimmy Kimmel's crew asked it on Hollywood Boulevard the day after the election. In what could be either comedy or tragedy, the video revealed just how disconnected some Americans are from the electoral process. —...
Lexicographer, etymologist, and star of British game show 'Countdown,' Susie Dent, posted an incredibly appropriate 'word of the day' on her social media following yesterday's election in the United States: recrudescence. She wrote: 'Word of the day is 'recrudescence' (17th...
Here's a silver lining from yesterday's 'sh*tstorm' of an election—at least the utterly deranged news-anchor-turned-rightwing-conspiracy theorist Kari Lake hasn't won a seat in the U.S. Senate! While the race is officially too early to call, as of 3 pm MST on November 6,...
If you need to avoid the world for a couple of hours, here is a video of one of my favorite Disneyland vloggers riding a lot of rides. I love Freshbaked's updates on Disneyland. His park status videos, covering everything from crowds to construction, are wonderful for a fan ...
A Copa Airlines passenger flying from Brazil to Panama tried to make a quick getaway through the plane's emergency exit mid-flight — but his plans were foiled when his fellow passengers tackled him to the floor. The incident occurred on Tuesday about 30 minutes before...
GoBots were second-rate compared to Transformers, and I could never be taught to care about them without a backstory. My little brother loved the GoBots. I thought Cy-Kill was cool, but his wheel was always missing, as it had to be removed to transform. — Read the rest The p...
In the dying months of World War II, American spies waged a unique battle against Nazi Germany — not with bullets and bombs, but with letters and stamps. Operation Cornflakes, a psychological warfare campaign, turned the German postal service into an unwitting delivery...

The Mac M4 Mini is a fantastic, low-priced Apple Mac, but my several-year-old laptop is great. The new Apple Mac Mini is tiny, powerful and cheap. At $600, the computer sounds too good to be true and I am mightily tempted, but there is nothing new it'd do for me. — Read the...
Action Retro set out to make the cheapest possible Apple Macintosh, and their offering is beautifully simple—and, at $14, pretty durned cheap. You'll need a Raspberry Pi Pico and some other bits and bobs to follow along. Today, we're using the Pico Micro Mac project,...
Not long ago, if you had an old compact digital camera in a drawer, you'd be hard-pressed to get $50 for it. Even a nice one might not fetch $100. With terrible low-light performance, grain in full light, 1080p video if you're lucky and no networking to speak of,...
A federal judge ruled Monday that Google has no obligation to refund victims of scammers who trick them into buying Google Play gift cards. It is entitled to keep the fees and profit from the scams, too. Win-Win! The lawsuit was filed by Judy May, who lost $1,000 in 2021...

NVidia, once an obscure gaming brand, now trades the title of world's most valuable company with Apple thanks to exposive demand for its graphics processors, used in AI. Now the company is planning to attack the market it always took care to work around: CPUs and systems in...
No smoke, just water in the Sherman Oaks, California location of Guitar Center yesterday after two cars collided outside the store and knocked over a fire hydrant. The broken pipe released a continuous torrent of water onto the roof of the Guitar Center. — Read the rest The...
TL;DR: Get three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for only $36.49 (reg. $50) through November 10. What's not to love about Xbox? It makes us forget about the reality of adulting (we really hate it) and lets us connect with our friends without ever leaving the house. — Read t...
