Are you old enough to remember Google+? I remember using it around the same time I opened my first Twitter account in 2012.

Solitaire and Minesweeper Microsoft first included Solitaire with Windows 3.0 in 1990. While it seemed like just a simple card game, its hidden purpose was to help users learn a new skill: dragging and dropping with a mouse. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Solitaire) Minesweeper joined the Windows lineup with Windows 3.1 in 1992. It was designed to help users get comfortable with right-clicking and left-clicking. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Minesweeper) Among tech enthusiasts, there was a long-running inside joke that MCSE (officially, Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert) really stood for “Minesweeper Consultant & Solitaire Expert.”

The QNX Operating System: An amazing story of an OS that started 45 years ago. Today it's used by Boston Dynamics and SpaceX, among others. Who can ignore this? 👇 > Versions 4.2, 4.22, and 4.24 all released in 1995. The final version 4 release was 4.25 in 1997. At least one QNX 4 installation ran for over 20 years without a reboot at the ESA. This was possible because peripherals could be hotswapped, drivers could be changed, and network nodes could be added or removed without bringing the system down. https://www.abortretry.fail/p/the-qnx-operating-system

To this day, every Apple computer includes a tiny little middle finger directed at The Beatles 🤣 Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sdnfI4GWDuQ For the record: In macOS Big Sur, the original chime was replaced with a different sample, named Sonumi. The original name was retained in the first public version of the OS, and was later changed to "Sonumi" as it appears in the System Preferences.

In April 2012, Google announced Google Glass. The device allowed users to take photos, record videos, send messages, and receive navigation and calendar updates via its heads-up display. Despite the innovative technology, the device faced significant criticism regarding privacy, driven by the camera's ability to record unnoticed. Social stigma also played a role, as wearing the device was perceived as unusual or intrusive. 🤔 https://x.company/projects/glass/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Glass
