    Does anybody have a GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti card that they don’t use anymore? Was hoping to use it with an older VR headset but they’re so hard to get these days. Send me a DM, maybe we can trade some stuff

    Does anybody have an Oculus Quest 1 they don’t need anymore? I could trade a BX Foundry joystick or potentially buy it. DM me

    Sometimes people think I’m exaggerating when I say Prince was born to be a technical innovator. If anything, it’s understatement.

    "The Oregon Trail" turns 50 this year. In the fall of 1971, the computer game was created for student teacher Don Rawitsch's 8th-grade history classes at Bryant Junior High in Minneapolis. In the fall of 1971, Prince was an 8th-grader at Bryant Junior High in Minneapolis.

    I'll go one further and say that it should be illegal for companies to harvest address book/contact data from users. So seemingly innocent yet insanely predatory

    Stop uploading your address book to social media sites. It’s not your data!

    I'm trying so hard to limit my random gaming history purchases — one shelf, only Nintendo — but I could not resist this console, because it's incredible. This is the Epoch Super Cassette Vision Lady's. What a carrying case!!!
