So, last week a kid asked me to set up his new (old) computer, and it made me think about how different the childhoods of modern day kids are to mine, and what that could mean later on.

Ente's latest release comes with a new video player with better controls and support for High Dynamic Range (HDR)!

HDR is a #technology that reproduces what the naked eye sees in colors and in contrast. It makes the bright areas brighter, dark areas darker, and colors more vibrant 🌈

So have fun viewing your pixels in perfection! ✨

As a favor to a co-worker who is desperate for janitorial workers at my job site, I put an ad on marketplace for him -- this last conversation was pure gold:
It was not Vlad Dracula and the Ottomans. The Assyrians were the first to use the impalement against their enemies.
Impalement, often linked to Vlad the Impaler and the Ottomans, was actually first used extensively by the Assyrians, who employed it as a brutal method of punishment and psychological warfare. Dating back to the height of their empire (around the 9th to 7th centuries BCE), Assyrian kings such as Ashurnasirpal II used impalement to intimidate enemies and suppress rebellions, often displaying victims publicly as a warning. While the practice later gained notoriety through Vlad Dracula, it had been used by various ancient civilizations, including the Babylonians and Persians, long before him.
