I’m betting they are setting up for the big reveal that Sauron is Frodo’s real father. Drago was just his step-uncle. His drowning in the Brandywine was no accident.

The Hobbits were supposed to be so obscure they were virtually invisible in Middle Earth history before the War of the Ring at the end of the Third Age. I hope they don’t overplay the importance of the Harfoots in this.

Yes, but J.R.R. never intended for it to be published, so while “fan fiction” is a stretch, there’s a valid point being made.

This isn’t surprising at all. Companies are always looking to either improve poor performers, or let them go.

Well Elden Ring and Control are two examples that run well on the Steam Deck. The trick is rendering at 720p.

Was Eddie’s American accent better than those of the other British actors doing American accents in the show? We’ve got: Eleven, Jonathan, and Henry/Vecna all played by Brits (and then Billy was played by an Australian, and Vickie, Robin’s crush, by a lass from Ireland).

Indeed, the current earliest evidence for humans in N. America are 23,000 year old footprints, and those people are unlikely to be the ancestors of the Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin.

I want the ever-lasting batteries they have in their walkie talkies!

ARM already existed. The ARM6 was the 3rd generation device, and Advanced RISC Machines Ltd. was incorporated in 1990. The Newton was just an early design win for them.

The Apple Newton sold 140,000 units. That’s more units than the first two years of Apple II sales.

I don’t think batteries ever run out in the Strange Things universe! Those walkie talkies the kids use seem to last for ever, instead of a couple of hours like they did back then.

I bet that Robb Stark won’t make it to the final episode.

I was going to name some popular adult toys, but then I realized they all have had plenty of movies made about them already!

I bought the WH-1000XM4 a week ago for a transatlantic trip. The lower price helped, but the poor portability of the new generation is a deal-breaker for me. I’m willing to accept a trade off in performance for something that can fit in my already crowded “personal bag” carry on (the Steam Deck puts a big hole in the…

Maybe a goose balloon?

That “GoFast” UFO has been pretty convincingly explained an parallax illusion from an object (likely a goose) flying somewhere between the plane and the ocean (not just above the waves).

In the US, Debbie Gibson in 1988 was the first woman to write, produce and perform at no. 1 with “Foolish Beat”.

Before even clicking on the link, I just knew the Gizmodo writer was going to make this mistake. Their entire writing crew seems to consist of Millennials who think the universe was created in 1990.

She is a household name in the UK. After she became first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song, with her debut “Wuthering Heights”, everyone there knew who she was (and that’s a country of 60 million people).
