Great question
Those were what, $700? Less on sale?
I love "basically no better than the cheapest laptop in the store".
On portability... www.theverge.com/laptop-revie...
Also @reckless.bsky.social wrote a retrospective on netbooks a few years back! Remember when they ran Linux and were actually about the net? www.theverge.com/2021/4/16/22...
Either way, here's our first hands on with the MacBook Neo! @superantonio64.bsky.social's hands, to be specific.
Not sure this will be a winner for schools with no touchscreen, after watching how my kids use their school-isused Chromebooks every day, but not bad!

IIRC, demand for weak $400 netbooks dried up fast. What I remember most about netbooks was buyers choosing $500 laptops instead.
I *guess* netbooks are back with the $599 MacBook Neo? Adjusted for inflation, the $399 Asus Eee PC would cost the same today.
But netbooks were *supposed* to cost $199.
"You can order memory, but they don’t tell you how much it costs until the day they ship. So it’s like trading stock."

I will!
I took some casual photos of that car (among others) at the Bond In Motion museum showcase in 2015: goo.gl/photos/tVJJA...

haha it sure was. I think if you can suspend disbelief long enough to get past the initial lasers, it's gravy after that.
I could NOT suspend disbelief for Die Another Day's auto-tracking miniguns for some reason, though.
Goldeneye *was* pretty intertwined for me but then I went back to play it and wow not anymore.
Skyfall I need to rewatch. I think Spectre destroyed it for me. Great song and I remember being happy about the DB5.
what are 1-4 and why aren't they Goldfinger, Casino Royale, From Russia with Love, and Goldeneye
I maintain that out of all Bond movies, The Living Daylights has the most entertaining car chase.
thank you! And I'm down to revisit it, honestly. Was fun to use when it wasn't jamming.
ahahaha
That's a fascinating point. When I lived in Japan for a tad, I was astonished by how careful communities were with their litter. But they also generate so much plastic packaging, export a lot of it to landfills elsewhere, and burn a lot of it, I've read.
such a perfect reply I had no choice but to RT
I was and am so torn about this product. It legitimately kept my household plastic out of a landfill. But as @justcalma.bsky.social and I write in our fun hybrid of report and review, it's not quite that simple! www.theverge.com/science/8870...
Everyone remembers WALL-E, the adorable future robot. But do you remember his original job? He turned trash into blocks to supposedly help the planet. Today I'm toying with a possible ancestor: The Clear Drop Soft Plastic Compactor.
the moment the game was no longer about beating the game but developing freakish builds... so satisfying.
One of the only flaws in Expedition 33, IMO, is that the story fights are a bit of a letdown if you do the same
Oooh.
You're welcome! It's quite literally the least I can do. There has to be more.
The Whistle Crew has shipped One. Million. Whistles.
723,000 whistles JUST in February.
And yes, I'm still printing every day. I've shipped nearly 23,000 in total. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles
If you are doomscrolling, may I recommend gigglescrolling @actualnames.bsky.social instead
Samsung is almost certainly announcing new phones in 30 minutes — and I'm already liveblogging from Unpacked! Come join us! www.theverge.com/tech/881355/...
Amazing to see my story go so far and wide ten days later!
(BTW: I'm in the SF Bay Area, not New York, though The Verge does have an office there — I bring it up because it still surprises people) www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...
Oooph. It's a 60GB launch model, yes. Maybe this is something to write about too
