It's not quite ready to be a full-on Explorer replacement just yet, but File Pilot is dang close. Really slick, super fast, the sort of thing you wish the Windows developers were working on instead of jamming more Copilot shit into every corner. Check it out! filepilot.tech
File Pilot - Next-gen file explorer
File Pilot is a file explorer built from scratch for light-speed performance, with a modern and robust interface.

The double whammy of Discord moving towards an IPO and sending out a survey to see what sort of AI garbage they could get away with sends a pretty clear message about where they want to go.

Kinda cool that they duplicated the style of the original C64 box for the C64 Ultimate.

Interesting that Sony is doing a Hyperpop collection of controllers and console shells. Maybe next they can do Signalwave or PluggnB or just put out a PS5 shell with Ecco the Dolphin on it or something.

This week's Patreon podcast is up! I thought I would talk about Anthem but ended up getting into the deep end on that terrible rap _about_ Anthem that came out right around launch. This, naturally, led to me digging up the 1998 anthem, "Starcraft Brood War" by UhMer. www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...

While I’m generally all for people getting a chance to play games for themselves, the whole “make up your own mind” thing that Call of Duty and now Splitgate have done in an attempt to counter the (earned) negative sentiment around their games just stinks of desperation.

This week's podcast is rolling out across the World Wide Web! Here's the video version, let's talk about Anthem and CES and 2026 releases and one of the scariest energy drinks I've ever done drank. youtu.be/Yk24O8Ji1kk

Let's try another one of these AI Energy Drinks. The last one was garbage, surely this one will be different, right? Also: CES is here and it kinda doesn'tt matter. NVIDIA rolls out a DLSS update but…

I ended up solving this by assigning the Rokus to a parental controls profile on the router and blocking access to all the ad and tracking servers that Roku wants. Not ideal, but it was the easiest way I found to do it with this TP-Link router of mine.
At some point my Rokus stopped using the DNS servers set on my router, preventing me from fully blocking access to their streaming channels and some other stuff that I don’t want to kids to use. Sucks!

I don't have anything meaningful to say about this other than that it's probably the most memorable thing to me when it comes to 50 Cent and Ja Rule's beef? I mostly just wanted to remind you about the Ja Rule Duets 2 skit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh5I...
