I'm still really chuffed that Dan Totally Rad Show, #DanTrachtenburg, is now Dan Totally Brilliant Director Of Prey, Black Mirror, The Boys etc. 🥰
The only warm geeky feels I can compare it to is when #ComputerChronicles used to be hosted by #GaryKildall.

This is one of my favorite episodes of Computer Chronicles, it centers around software piracy/cracking. This clip shows an interaction between a pirate demonstrating the use of a cracking-oriented BBS, and an attorney talking about the legal issues. Not only is it a fascinating historical snapshot (1985) of something that is still obviously relevant, but I absolutely love how respectful Stewart and Gary always were, even if they didn't condone the subject matter. I really like this style and quality of technology journalism, I wish we had more of it today.

And now a little something seasonal for fellow GenX computer nerds: Clint from LGR watches the 1985 Computer Chronicle holidays episode.
Warning: May contain Radio Shack, odd clothing and odder facial hair.
