  • At least where I was, when it came out it was $5 for the ‘six-dollar burger’, almost immediately after they threw in a bunch of other ‘big’ burgers. Odd that they tried to makr a 1/3 pound burger seem huge when McDonald’s (at least in America) had been offering double quarter pounders for longer than I can remember.



  • Sadly I think it has more to do with the way Windows handles stuff in general. My personal machine seems to have no issues, LMDE with the foxes (Firefox/LibreWolf); my work computer though, Windows with the chromes (Edge/Chrome) seems to get confused the moment their is a second profile in the browser.

    All that being said, I’ve definitely tried clearing the cookies and just living with it.





  • Silly to even mention it but… Early game consoles could be used wirelessly depending on how good of an antenna you had and if you were willing to ignore silly FCC rules regarding transmission power. As they literally broadcast a standard frequency (for channel 3 or 4 depending on your switch position), it could pick it up OTA.


  • Just to add; prior to the coax we had two screws into the back of the TV for an antenna. You would attach a pigtail to that, which would give you a single coax connection. VCRs were game changers because most of the ones I saw had built in tuners so the more tech savvy could hook those up to the antenna and TV, then use the VCR remote to change channels without getting up (volume was another story). A lot of VCRs also had a power outlet on the back so you could plug your TV into it and be able to use the remote to turn the TV on too.

    Man old tech was great.
