This month "Retro Racing" game is a 1998 PlayStation classic, Road Rash 3D. Road Rash 3D is an installment of the motorcycle racing game where players use violent tactics to win. The gameplay is pretty similar to that of the previous games. One must avoid oncoming cars and obstacles on the road, beating opponents with metal pipes, crowbars, and other assorted items. The player wins money/points upon the completion of the race and then can buy better and more powerful bikes. The game featured licensed music from bands such as Soundgarden, Sugar Ray, Kid Rock, CIV, The Mermen, Full on the Mouth, and The Tea Party. Sugar Ray contributed three songs, "Speed Home California", "Tap, Twist, Snap" and "Mean Machine", as well as short track "The Club". The into video is pretty cool as well, so check it out. Thanks to JSmithDTV for the suggestion and write-up.

Filed away under the usless but funny anyone banner; someone made a version of ChatGPT for windows 3.1 called WinGPT. Ask WinGPT what's the easiest way to share photos with friends, for example, and the 'chatbot' will happily inform you that the best course of action is to give them the (physical) photos, or post them (on a floppy disk), or put the pics in a scrapbook. What's the best computer? WinGPT recommends an IBM-compatible PC, or alternatively an Apple Mac or Commodore Amiga.
Staying on a Windows theme, it sounds like MicroSoft are thinking of cloud versions of Windows. Is Windows 365 the least original name they could of come up with? Windows 365 is a service that streams a full version of Windows to devices. So far, it’s been limited to just commercial customers, but Microsoft has been deeply integrating it into Windows 11 already. A future update will include Windows 365 Boot, which will enable Windows 11 devices to log directly in to a Cloud PC instance at boot instead of the local version of Windows. Windows 365 Switch is also built into Windows 11 to integrate Cloud PCs into the Task View feature.
Maybe Windows wont be as popular as a pay as you go service in the future, especially with Linux being open and freely available to everyone. Free said IBM ? Shorter, pithier versions of the GPL-minded community's reaction to Red Hat's news are exemplified by Jeff Geerling's blog post called "Dear Red Hat: Are you dumb?," or his YouTube Video "Huge Open Source Drama." Geerling, who says he's dropping RHEL support from his Ansible and other software projects, says that Red Hat's moves are intended to "destroy" Rocky, Alma, and other RHEL derivatives and that after the "knife in the back" of abandoning full CentOS Linux, the recent moves "took that knife and twisted it, hard."
I've used DuckDuckGo's search engine a few times in the past, but mostly found google gave me the answers I was looking for. But if having google preemptively know what you are looking for doesn't sit well with you then maybe DuckDuckGo's new browser will. The analogy we might use here is that DuckDuckGo didn’t take a cake (browser) and frost (re-skin) it to make it their own; they baked a whole new cake but used the same sugar and salt (API and rendering engine) because those are effectively universal. What’s more is that with the use of WebView2, the DuckDuckGo team spent time addressing privacy concerns, such as “ensuring that crash reports are not sent to Microsoft.”
Todays timewaster might ring a bell for anyone working day to day in front of a corparate PC. Rule 10 is a real 'CAPTCHA' moment.
