Indianapolis 500: The Simulation for the Commodore Amiga (Papyrus/Electronic Arts/1990) is a groundbreaking racing game and one of the best motorsport simulators of the 16-bit era.
1st on MS-DOS PC (1989), it's essentially the same game (although on A500 you'd turn off details, A1200 shown here enables it maxed). Game's downside is that it features only one oval track. Formula One Grand Prix a year later featuring the tracks from 1991 season, surpassed it, content-wise.

Windows Notepad.exe now has a remote code execution vulnerability.
You read that right.
Notepad.exe, which used to be a simple text editor, has had so many network connect features added (including AI and Microsoft account subscriptions)… that it now has security vulnerabilities.
This CVE is rated as “SEVERE” and given an 8.8 score.

"Social Media didn’t exist 30 years ago"
Yeah it did. Bulletin board systems (BBS) existed in the 70s, Usenet and IRC since the 80s
Don't try to tell 80s kids that we didn't send shit to each other on local area networks during our one computer lab class a month

My open letter marking the Web’s 35th birthday addresses the erosion of the web’s core values and resulting power imbalances that are influencing transformative technologies, reshaping geopolitics and driving economic shifts. The time to act is now.

Lots of really cool stuff added in the Half-Life 25th anniversary update, but little things like restoring the OG main menu? Ahh it's just lovely.
Half-Life turns 25 this weekend, and we're pushing a big update to bring back some of that 1998 feeling with restored original launch day content, brand new multiplayer maps, a look behind the scenes with the original development team, and more: half-life.com/halflife25
