In an email this week, Apple gave customers a final reminder to upgrade their Home app by February 10, 2026. Apple says users who do not upgrade may experience issues with accessories and automations, or lose access to their smart...
Everything is still overpriced. Man-O'man, I remember when gas was $0.32/gallon, a pair of Koss Pro 4A headphones cost $49.00, weekly groceries were $15.00 (and that included a weekend 6-pack!), no one subscribed to TV - all 4 channels were free. And, we coded with paper punch cards.

First, you forgot the UHF channels with the goofy local host who dressed up as a spaceman.

I was blessed to just miss the punch card era. My first exposure to computing was with a DEC PDP 11/70 - the university was in the process of redoing all the labs to install terminals. There was still a punch card reader, but most people avoided it like the plague.
Man, you haven't lived until you've played Star Trek on a DECwriter II dot-matrix terminal!
I remember playing Lunar Lander on the DEC 11 with the a DM terminal. I was a Senior (1971) in prep school and I think Ken Olsen may have donated it to the school. It was sad to see DEC decline as they did.
Oh, I think I remember that one too! Both games were great paper-wasters. ?
