When Computer Magazines Were Everywhere

news.ycombinator.com Paul Lefebvre 2025-09-21 07:30:26

In the 80s, one of my favorite pastimes was reading computer magazines. Yes, I was and still am a nerd. I still spend far too much time collecting (and reading) retro magazines. Today I almost certainly have more retro computer magazines than you do. By my count, I now have nearly 700 issues of various computer magazines from the 70s, 80s and 90s! Just a small sample of my retro magazine collection! Looking back at the 80s, it was a great joy to get a magazine in the mail. As a young teenager

Ask HN: How can I recover and run my old mobile game from the 2010s?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-27 04:41:42

I developed a game called "Putter King Adventure Golf" for iOS and Android back in the 2010s. It's long since disappeared from the app stores, but my son recently asked if he could play it, which got me thinking about whether it might be recoverable. I'm wondering if there's any way to find a copy of it somewhere on the web (I assume it was probably pirated at some point during its lifetime). And if I could find it, what would be the best approach to get it running again? Has anyone here succe

OpenAI's Sam Altman sees AI bubble forming as industry spending surges

cnbc.com Dylan Butts 2025-11-13 14:09:30

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks the artificial intelligence market is in a bubble, according to a report from The Verge published Friday. "When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth," Altman told a small group of reporters last week. "Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes. Is AI the most important thing to happen in a very long time? My opinion is also yes," he was quoted as saying. Altman appeared to compare this

Samsung Smart Monitor M9 M90SF Review: The 4K OLED Hybrid

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-11-21 06:30:00

I don’t own a TV. That’s right, I’m a professional tech reviewer, and I’m still living like a millennial in my twenties. But a smart monitor—now, there’s something I could justify. A computer monitor is useless without a PC plugged into it, but that’s where smart monitors come in, offering a more versatile screen that is as much for work as it is for entertainment. Not until now have these smart monitors felt like proper TV replacements in terms of quality. The latest model from Samsung, the Sm

Dreame Just Unveiled Affordable Robot Vacuums That Can Climb Over the Threshold Between Rooms. I Saw Them First

Dreame is well known for its robot vacuums, with the Dreame X50 Ultra being one of CNET’s top picks due to its ability to cross obstacles with its lift system and advanced mapping and navigation. This feature, first unveiled at CES 2025, is great if you have thresholds in your home, but it's also costly, running around $1,700 at full price. Dreame’s new L40s lineup aims to make this handy feature more affordable, bringing the lift system to the L40s Ultra and premium navigation and multifloor ma

Requesting Funding for 90s.dev

# Requesting funding for 90s.dev Hi everyone. A couple months ago I posted 90s.dev under the wrong title. I called it a video game maker, because that’s the vision I had for it. But I posted it prematurely, and it wasn’t yet a video game maker. It was an retro os web environment, which I planned to make a game maker in. So a lot of you showed interest, but I asked you to come back later. Well, the problem was that I need to be monetized for my efforts on it. I have practically no spare time du

The Effect of Noise on Sleep

Jun 26, 2025 The effect of noise on sleep Brandon Ballinger How detrimental is noise for your sleep? Andrej Karpathy raised this exact question in a tweet. The answer to Karpathy’s question is, well, empirical, with a rough experiment suggested by Paul Graham: Consumer devices like Apple Watch measure many sleep metrics, including sleep stages, heart rate variability, and heart rate. The Apple Watch’s microphone also measures noise in fine-grained frequency, which can be filtered down to times

The Cherry MX 3.0s Keyboard Looks Like a Great Gaming Keyboard, but It Needs Some Work

As a writer and gamer, there's nothing quite like the feel of a great mechanical keyboard. There's just something so satisfying about the "thwok" of each keypress as I take to the battlefield or craft my next story. Surprisingly, though, it can be challenging to find a keyboard that's fantastic at being both a gaming keyboard and a daily-use keyboard -- at least at an affordable price. You might recognize the name Cherry as the maker of the eponymous switches that have dominated the mechanical

Hack the Planet: 90s Hacker Culture vs. Today's AI Devs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-11 18:29:51

There was a time when hackers didn’t have VC funding, productivity Slack channels, or GitHub Copilot whispering autocomplete incantations. They had dial-up modems, CRTs humming like insects, and a calling—etched somewhere between cyberpunk fiction and UNIX man pages—to hack the planet. Today’s AI devs? Well, they’re optimizing prompts in WeWork lounges, juggling ChatGPT tokens, and trying not to hallucinate in meetings or machine learning models. The times have changed. But the question is: has
