Amazing Stranger – s01e11 – Space Probe’s (Space Pilot’s) Song.
As I go to finishing off my backlog, I find my reaction somewhere between Haruto’s at the last episode of Nona’s show and the desire for a drink after the two nitwits snow up.
You know, JD and a burrito sounds like a good plan to me.
Edit: also the ending of the series is pretty great 😁
Forbes: The New Pinebook Pro Will Challenge Google Chromebooks For $199.
Can’t say that I’ve ever cared a lot about Rockchip’s SoCs but that actually sounds pretty damned tempting. The chipset should deliver a really nice bang for the buck. Very tempting indeed!
At least as far as 14″ laptops with anything weaker than a Core i7 and 32 GB of RAM can go, and for those you would have to shift the price tag over a decimal place. Let’s just say for $200: you have no right to complain about the horse power that a Cortex A72/A53 like that can deliver.
Intel’s chipsets targeting that $200 price point tend to struggle just playing my music and opening tabs without stuttering. In fact getting tired of that is the number one reason my Chromebook will likely get retirement this year or next year.
Hmm, I wonder for the hell of it how bad the Graphics driver is for the RK3399’s GPU. Last time I tried a Mali it was on an Exynos 5 and I was most unimpressed by the desktop graphics performance. But that was quite a few generations ago.
Engadget: Engadget readers love the iPad Pro 12.9.
I find it curious that as things has marched in there is really two kinds of people. Those who think that tablets are garbage and those that love their tablets.
In both cases people trying to push the software tend to miss PC’isms that they take for granted or just learn to achieve the same things in different ways.
It’s a pretty safe bet that these goobers are more adept at comfy than I ever will be.

Especially Willow, aka the great white nap.
I would like to think that I’m not the only one whose first, humorous thought was:
ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT EUROPA.
ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE.
Come to think of it more than a few years have passed since I red the Space Odyssey books. I do wonder though what we may find out there, even if it’s likely to be far less dangerous than 2061 or The Turing Test depicts. Instead I imagine we’ll just have a lot of scientists and scholars having a decade long think-orgy and that’s probably for the best.
Fire Force s01e01 – Shinra Kusakabe Enlists
Is looking to be a very promising series this summer. The opening bit with the two girls and the lieutenant in the background was especially nice 😃.
At first glance it combines various concepts that make you wonder: is this a crap idea or a scathingly brilliant idea. I think I’m going to lean towards the last one 😜. The blend of action, comedy, and personality makes me think this shall entertain, much.
Looks to fill a small collection of genres that typically pop up every season. Perhaps even as an adorable slicity. At least, none of the usual eye rolls and worrisome bits rather than a wholesome start off.
Seen “The Umbrella Academy” on Netflix yet?
When this first showed up in the listings I debated whether it would be worth the time and filed out under worry about later.
Well after two days of watching the crap out of it: I’m pretty sure I’ll be watching season two when it happens 😙.
You can bet that more than a few tatters found their way down the treat hole of some hungry doggos.
You know, if I knew half as much as these three did about comfort….
