Great video. Haven't finished it yet, but did he ever explain why you'd want your media center to be luggable? I feel like if they'd ditched the screen and keyboard they would have something better than a modern streaming box except in 2006, but maybe they sold something like that too.

I really like nonfiction, so I'll recommend a few.
Wonderful Life (Stephen Jay Gould) was what really helped me understand biology. Really interesting read if you want to hear about evolution or paleontology. If you prefer land animals to Cambrian bugs, Rise and Fall of dinosaurs (Steve Brusatte) is also a great read, though it didn't blow my mind as much as Gould did.
House and Soul of a new Machine (both by Tracy Kidder) are op opposite ends of the technical spectrum but together form a rich portrait of people at work.
Exploding The Phone (Phil Lapsely) is the book you want if you're at all interested in retro technology. I suspect many people who care enough to use a ln offbeat social network like this one will enjoy it.
Annals of the former world (John McPhee) is a hefty tome that tells the natural history of United States geology, the history of geology (especially how plate tectonics were discovered) and how geology has interacted with the people living on it.
So like systemd but ten times more dramatic.
Only very occasionally. Masters of Doom and Ubik are examples. I like being able to hand copies of books to friends and family to borrow and I can't do that with an ebook.
I tell myself I will reread some books, but I can't imagine ever really doing that. Maybe when my brain is less plastic some day.
Similar situation here. I held on to mine until it couldn't run Godot 4 then finally moved up to a newer Thinkpad. I still miss that keyboard...
Now you see why Romulans ended up a recurring villain... very strong start. Compare that to how long they took to bring back the Gorn!
It's not specific to Godot 4, but I found this couple of videos really useful for understanding how to build interpolated multiplayer in Godot:

Warzone 2100 was my jam! They hadn't actually got cutscenes working in the Linux port I was using so I was.very confused about the story.
Termux used to rock but nowdays installing stuff is very hit or miss.
x86 apps? Awesome.
I'm trying to picture how the other room music is supposed to work. Are you cranking the volume on your TV speakers loud enough to hear in the other toom, or using the PC to control an extra set or far away speakers, or did people used to wire their houses with everywhere speakers controlled from a single receiver?
