The Apple Studio Display - What's A Computer? This week Apple announced two new displays. The updated Studio Display and the all new Studio Display XDR. So there’s never been a better time to talk about my now old Apple Studio Display. 

With Apple announcing two new displays this week, I thought I would write about my now old Studio Display. whatsacomputer.com/posts/the-...

Changes to the Site - What's A Computer? You may have noticed some recent changes to my site. I made some long overdue changes and additions that hopefully make the site just a bit nicer to poke around on.

Spent some time making some much needed changes to my site. New homepage, new guestbook, and more sensible tags, check it out! whatsacomputer.com/posts/chan...

Secondhand Apples - What's A Computer? I was recently chatting with a friend about various Apple devices and their pricing. We are both somewhat frugal with our tech purchases, him more so than me, and we both love to get a great deal. Apple stuff isn’t cheap and yet, if you’re willing to be patient and/or hunt, it can be.

Wrote a bit about how I acquire most of my Apple gear much cheaper than buying new. It's a lot of work, patience, and definitely some luck, but there are deals to be found out there. whatsacomputer.com/posts/seco...

Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC The video-game publisher no longer plans to put out PC ports of PlayStation games such as ‘Ghost of Yotei’

I’d be down for a handle.

If it’s not too late to suggest one small change, Apple should seriously consider adding a handle to the low-cost MacBook...

Really enjoying Pokémon LeafGreen right now. I missed these remakes when they came out back in 2004. I will always have a soft spot for Game Boy Advance graphics. #Pokémon

Finished the story mode in #MarioTennisFever. Also completed all of the cups and the three challenge towers. I think this is my favorite Mario Tennis game since Mario Power Tennis on the GameCube.

A Week Off Social Media - Jason Journals One week ago, I started a one-month break (or 40-day “fast”) from social media. I thought I’d have some mild FOMO for the first three days or so. Turns out,...

Love this "40 day social media fast" from @jasonjournals.com. I probably shouldn't tag him on social media really, but I only do so you can subscribe to his blog via email or RSS :)

Did you get either of the Virtual Boy attachments for Switch 2? If so, what are your thoughts?

OG is on the left. They are very similar! #virtualboy

He made it!

Brand new footage of the Virtual Boy debut in 1995. It would have been cool to include these non-interactive demos in the Switch release! People love squinting at the Super Mario one!

Just sitting at work wondering if my beautiful boy will make it to my house today or not. #virtualboy

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

“Hey! This rules, what song is this??”

DJ: the song that plays during the internet settings menu on 3DS

This is amazing 🤣

Did not expect the story of Mario Tennis Fever to basically begin with “Daisy is on her deathbed.”

Twenty Years Of Podcasts - Jason Journals Around 2005, I discovered podcasts. I didn’t have an iPod at the time. Instead I used the Dell Axim X3 Pocket PC. For years, I connected it to my computer...

Mostly full screen though it can do all of the windowed app magic. The screen is simply better suited for full screen apps in my use though.
