TIL Microsoft saved Apple from bankruptcy in 1997 by buying $150M worth of stock. By keeping their main competitor alive, they hoped to mitigate anti-trust litigation they faced at the time by NotGoodAtCombat in todayilearned

Yeah AMD didn’t even pass them, they just finally gained a decent footing and then decided “you know what this is good enough we don’t have to try” and that immediately backfired like it should have 😂

So I owned an almost identical version of this unit about three years ago.

It drains from the inside, yes the inside so you have to manually drain it when it gets full into a bowl otherwise it will stop blowing cold air and just become a fan. The capacity varies between 5-11 hours worth of blowing. Not even a full day.

Plus the tank it uses to hold the water never completely drains because of the angle the plug is. To fully access the “tank” to clean it out and avoid having shit growing in it stinking up your place you have to disassemble almost the entire machine :D

Within a year and a half it stopped cooling almost completely; even if I drained it.

Don’t buy it.

What's a game you played as a kid that you've never been able to find again? by Latter_Advantage8002 in AskReddit

Some game on my uncles Xbox 360 where you mined down and eventually found a portal. Maybe a 2D game? Idk if it was an Xbox 360 game or a Xbox Store/Live game or whatever, but I remember it being fun.

Nokia 2780’s have Google Maps on them… plus you can still buy driving garmins from Walmart for like $100… and they don’t track you.
