Some mini-its stuff from Computex 2025

Yeah, I agree, the fish bowl design is uninspired. At least we still have companies like Chenbro making modernised 20 year old designs... https://www.chenbro.com/en-global/products/PC_Chassis/Micro_ATX_Tower/PC314...

What's wrong with the Silverstone FLP02? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/05/return-of-the-turbo-button-silverstone-is-making-another-80s-style-beige-pc-case/

Yep, absolutely brilliant story telling.

Just finished Bioshock and Bioshock 2 remastered editions (got them on 90% off sale when 2K games had a sale on Steam a few months ago). Never played them when they came out, so was in for a new experience. Throughly enjoyed both.

May the Fourth be with you. Just finished Star Wars Ep3 (special edition on Blu-Ray) with my son in celebration, and watched S2 E1-3 of Andor as well. The thing I don't like about Andor, is how shitty it makes the rest of the Disney Star Wars production look. Seriously, why can't Disney make...

That makes more sense if the PDF wasn't constructed correctly to allow text input with save/print, why he needs a tool with editor functionality. The other suggestions are the way to go then.

@time, how are going after the Cyclone? My family is doing fine, we just got power back after 6 days without power. Internet and mobile services are now coming back online in my immediate area now. Otherwise minimal property damage for my home. For other members, Cyclone Alfred hit south east...

Buildzoid has a good follow up that is easy to understand why the 12VHPWR is less than desirable.

I would like to congratulate the fact that all citizens of the US are now female... "Rise of the Northern Amazon Nation" was certainly not on my 2025 bingo card.

Just an FYI for those that are not aware of how Australia works. The basic requirements are that you are licensed first (need to complete a mandatory safety course and have a genuine reason - and self defence is not a reason), and then once licensed (takes 4-8 weeks from application), then...
