No, this isn’t a blog post about that Scott Steiner promo. World Wrestling Entertainment recently announced that they’ll be moving their streaming content from their own service, WWE Network, to NBCUniversal’s Peacock. Based on the available information, this is an amazing deal for WWE, and a really strange deal for Peacock.
Uncle Dave reviews the Tivo Stream 4K. It’s an exciting new way to define “unrealized potential”.
Clear Linux has Big Slackware Energy, in that if you want to use it as a daily driver, you’ll need to know your way around the underlying software. That said, I don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to use it (despite what that one Phoronix post might have you believe). It really feels purpose-built for […]

No viruses, no pop-up ad machines, things like that. And on the surface, that’s all well and good. Defense in […]
I recently worked, briefly, for Automattic (the company that hosts this Web site, and approximately a zillion others, and whose founder created the WordPress software that powers roughly 1/3 of the whole Web).
