Watch the original Star Wars, then The Empire Strikes Back, then Return of the Jedi. The versions you found are good.

Here's the important bit, turn off Jedi as soon as you see a fat fuzzy walking teddy bear creature. The introduction of the Ewoks is when Star Wars dies.

 

For years an absolute champion named CC created great karaoke tracks and kept a Mega archive updated monthly. The Mega link is dead now. If anyone knows a new location I'd appreciate a tip.

CC if you are reading this, and it's all over, thanks for the good times. Your work was epic, and you really helped my karaoke parties.

 

I'll soon be assembling a new PC and I need to figure out which version of Win 11 to use. I've not been able to find a good discussion of using IoT or LTSC for a "daily driver" gaming and productivity PC.

I'll want to make use of a lot of Windows features like virtualization, the ability to run Android apps, and the Linux subsystem. I don't need all the new feature updates immediately, but I also don't want to be running an antique OS... Just a debloated one.

If you've navigated these waters I would love to hear about your experience.

What do all you die hard pirates do to discover new bands?

  1. Find DJs I like on Twitch. (Many of them copy shows to Mixcloud too, so you can listen later, but track IDs may only be on the live show.)
  2. When I hear a song I like, grab the discography from one of the usual sources.

I have discovered so much great new music via Twitch, but I am sure not every genre is well supplied with good DJs.
