    we got the 2600 when i was nine (had the pong before that). it was still being played 30 years later. dunno what happened to it after mom died; she also had my old mattel handhelds, tabletop donkey kong and frogger, and a couple others. kinda wish i had them. have only played a couple consoles since (last was probably super mario on snes), but never owned any other than that atari. instead of consoles, i got into the z80, 8086/88, c64, apple for a short time, and then now pc. don’t have any of the old computers, they were stolen out of a storage garage years ago.










  • if you’ve cleared your browser histories (cookies, mainly) and it persists and bothers you, you can try to force a new ip from their dhcp. process would vary depending on what gear you have. at home, i use my own and only need to give the router a different wan mac and reboot the modem. with their gear, might need to just unplug the stuff overnight or something as i dont think you can get at the settings–hell, you need their stupid app to change the wifi password.

    but like i said, i’d just let them deal with it. it probably only affects their own determination of your location. if it does spread elsewhere because they’re ‘sharing’ that data with others–just roll with it. i actually love it when we hop on a weather site or something and they’re way off, like michigan or missouri.
