- Comment on Old School Rally scratched our ‘90s arcade racing itch... then promptly disappeared 1 week ago:
Funny how topgear.com couldn't bother to go there for the explanation.
On a side note I really enjoyed playing Sega Rally Revo on the PC. Its abandonware and has some of the best countersteer mechanics I've ever experienced in a racing game. Similarly Touge Max G for the PS1 has some of the best drift mechanics I've ever experienced in a racing game.

My problem with USB-C is I've had multiple cables fail now where the connector is physically failing it looks like. These were supposed to be made to not fail like this. I still have old USB cables working fine without this type of failure.

Whats up with SearXNG?
- Comment on The Mediocrity of Modern Google. 3 months ago:
People keep pushing Kagi. You get 100 free searches to try it. So far I haven't had a search result from Google thats so bad I need to turn to another search engine, its just a poor user experience.
I tried to use Startpage and it almost did the trick. It was text search results parsed from google without any of the other crap that shows up in search results these days. However one critical tool was missing - The forums search category. They have other categories like images, news, shopping, etc. I heavily use forum searches when viewing search results and not having it was an instant deal breaker.
