As I was reading this the title music from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 started playing in my head, and I completely understood what you mean. I then looked up if Jazz was actually an anomaly since Epic are from the US, but no, the main programmer was Dutch, so it fits your description.

But they already have parcel postboxes, and whilst there’s no “check in” of parcels on those, as soon as everything is collected it’s scanned so I feel that’s fine?

I’m selling these fine leather jackets…

In the UK we have “JRC Global Buffet” which is almost exactly what you describe. It’s…not great. I went because, like you, some friends were particularly enamoured with the place for some reason.

I wasn’t a fan.

I find it sad that we can’t switch back to the “old” autocorrect. The options are this annoying new version…or nothing. I tried living with nothing for a while and it’s not great.

And generated a fuck tonne of UV, so….don’t look at it with your remaining eye.

Garmin watches come close?

I’d say that’s a bit late

Kinda surprising nobody thought to make a lightgun version of xkill. At least, a few minutes of searching and I can’t find anything

My hair is thick and waist length. In the summer months I have to have it tied up somehow or I overheat, much to the annoyance of people in my life who like to see it down 😅

I’ve considered trying natural lightening techniques (some people say lemon juice, others in my family with similar hair say it works) to lighten it to reduce the heat. Maybe this year I’ll give it a go.

One other thing I’ll say is that if you’re already hot, adding volume makes it worse as it traps warm air

It is my understanding that Apple actually wanted to use 3.5mm jacks for their ADB keyboard/mouse interface in the early days, and some prototypes exist which used the jacks.

The plug manufacturers couldn’t guarantee that you wouldn’t sometimes get high resistance issues if the plugs were left connected all the time. On a pair of headphones you’d hear that as static and turn the plug or unplug/insert to get it going again. But you can’t “hear” through a keyboard.

They used mini DIN 4 instead.

At this point I think that’s probably a feature

Yeah I take the tips off and only clean those bits. On my earbuds they have a pretty good mesh filter which stops wax etc. getting further into them

I use an ultrasonic cleaner with warm soapy water. Works wonders - they basically look new!

Can it play Doom?

That repo is an amazing example of something so well documented as to how it works they completely neglected to have even a paragraph explaining what it really does and why I would want to use it.

As far as I can tell it’s a Spotify connect client which runs as a daemon so you probably need to control it remotely? Kinda like how AirPlay works on apple devices? Is that right?

I can’t stand voice assistants. I have ZigBee switches all over the house for lights, or I control things directly from my phone. Works really well for me!

This reads like an AI response to me.

Mac OS has never used X11 as a primary display system. Apple had a version they supplied with older Mac OS X versions for people using older Unix applications (and half-arsed ports) but that’s been unsupported since 2012. You can install the modern “XQuartz” open source equivalent, but it’s still secondary.
