[VIDEO] This is interesting to me. I'm still a fan of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Because of this system I can hardly get into modern gaming the closest I ever got to modern gaming was the original Sony Playstation. Yeah I'm going back 20 years....
Regardless I have more nostalgia for the 8-bit aspects of 1980s gaming and makes this video up my alley. If I wanted to fix my own system now I know how to do it. Of course mine was purchased years ago and never was found on the side of a highway and took some damage in the process.
8-Bit Guy does great work restoring a number of older computers of varying brands, styles, or even eras. He does a great job getting this system working again.
[VIDEO] I was a huge fan of David Letterman and it seemed he did take plenty of shots at his former corporate overlords over the NBC network, that company was General Electric GE. Of course times have changed NBC is now owned by Comcast - the good folks who provide the public with telecommunications services from internet, phone, to TV. Now they own a TV network actually a broadcasting company.
However back in 1986 Letterman decided to make a gag of it. Go down to GE HQ and deliver a fruit basket, and almost everyone there was very cold and distant claiming he didn't have authorization. It was great TV and sometimes I wish today's late nite hosts were that daring as Letterman was in his prime.
To be fair this is not something every late nite host should be doing. On Late Nite with David Letterman it seemed there were things done in such a format that wasn't always done. It's probably one reason why he was so popular for so long. I was late to the game, a bit too young to be watching his antics or at least I recognize this now.
However, how he starts off making fun of the idea of GE buying NBC - well actually lets be more technical. GE was actually buying RCA who owned NBC in 1985 in 2011 Comcast will buy GE's stake in NBC Universal and bought the full stake in 2013. Ahhh don't you love the history of corporate mergers.
Anyway I hope you enjoy this Letterman GE compilation. And if you can offer a few bucks to Don Giller who is providing these many Letterman clips. As much as I dream of making money from YouTube due to the content he's sharing he makes no money off of these clips. As he's stated doing so wouldn't be fair since these clips didn't originate with him.
Found this on fb which recently came out of its shutdown on Monday from the Babylon Bee. I shared this on my profile with the quote you see in this post's title above.
With Facebook down, and the world basking in the warm glow of a post-Facebook utopia, the hackers responsible for the attack are now warning that if their demands are not met, they will reactivate Facebook once again.
"We know the world is celebrating the peace and unity brought about by us deleting Facebook from the internet," said a cryptic message broadcast from an unknown location. "But if you don't comply with our demand for $700 billion dollars by 8 pm tonight, we will restore Facebook and unleash its evils upon the world once again."
Well I could respond seriously with well I think the hackers were foiled this time.
If anyone from fb is reading this my original fb and ig accounts were disabled last year and I was never able to repeal due to this doggone pandemic. You never had enough reviewers available perhaps you can hit me up at my twitter handle @levois. Thanks.
@levois used to be my original ig handle but when my fb account went down so did that....
[VIDEO] If I have the time to do so I do like to watch Amtrak's Sunset Limited arrive in Tucson, Arizona. Usually like to catch the eastbound train stop in Tucson and it appears to be a very long layover ( about an hour). It appears that there is not only a stop to stretch your legs it's a servicing stop for the train.
Well, I didn't see the stream this morning and I'm glad I didn't. There was a shooting on the train and Virtual Railfan who operates the live webcam has since shuttered the feed for the time being. A DEA agent and a suspect were killed in the shooting about the train. What you see above is what you would've seen on the live webcam via Virtual Railfan.
I saw a condensed AP video that said this the shooting was as a result of a random search for contraband on board the train. The suspect was later found dead in an onboard lavatory on the train. [VIDEO]
I'm curious if they canceled the train so that the police can secure the crime scene and for Amtrak to later clean up the car for future service. I'm also curious if the train will remain in the Tucson area until the police is through with their work.
Looking forward to the Tucson feed being available again on YouTube especially. It was amazing last winter to see snowfall there in a desert city like Tucson, Arizona.
