Taking a look at the Mitsubishi Oberhofer Edition monitor, a 15-inch LCD from 1999 encased in a glossy walnut burl intended to fit in with fancy 90s executive decor. And originally costing $1800!

A picture of those popular long bubble wands with the following text: When the bubble solution gets down to about this level, it stops filling up the bubble wand and therefore no longer functions to blow bubbles. It is a failed product.

New LGR travel vlog! youtu.be/yIwXQicYClw

This is the Knobcon and Vintage Computer Festival Midwest experience! At least as it was for me in 2025. Driving from NC to Illinois, enjoying Chicago, lots of wandering the events themselves, having great food, hanging with YouTubery friends and much more!

WHY DID THEY GENTRIFY THE AUDACITY LOGO
the regular audacity logo on the left (a waveform between two headphones) and the REAL NEW audacity logo on the right (flat style red headphones, where one of the headphones is a half-circle to fit with the rest of musehub's design Thing. It simultaneously looks extremely generic and like a sperm cell is flying out of a semicircle)

It definitely seems that way.

Based on the available info on the deal, the only logical plan would be to bleed EA dry and then dispose of the husk. However, I'm not sure logic is at play here.
