Netflix is coming up with a somewhat thematically obscure new show
Joe and Anthony Russo, makers of Avengers: Endgame, are now working on a Netflix animated show. Titled Magic: The Gathering, it is based on a relatively popular fantasy-themed card game. Very little is known about the show: it has been advertised as ”expanding on the stories of the Planeswalkers” (factions within the card game) and ”contending with stakes larger than any one world can hold”. Cool, I guess, especially since Russo brothers themselves apparently are MTG fans. If true, this means that they will understand the ”feel” of the universe, which in ...

Apple I, one of the first personal computers ever made, has just been sold on an auction for a pretty penny
British auction house Christie’s has recently sold a pretty rare item, a rara avis among electronics, namely the Apple I PC. Made in the 1970’s, Apple I was one of the first PC devices ever relased. Not only is it difficult to find one nowadays, but this particular unit has been well taken care of by its previous owner, who put it neatly into a leather suitcase (Apple I has been released without any sort of casing). Along with the PC itself, the device has been sold with an old SWTPC PR-40 printer, equally old manual and nearly as old copies of Apple I-related magazines. The ...
