I bought a dedicated gaming PC three years ago. I needed something more powerful than my iMac to play games on but didn't want to shell out $2k for another Mac that would be limited in terms of future upgrades. My iMac can be used as an external display to another machine which meant that …
My iPhone Lineage: The Final Chapter (For Now)

It's a Halloween festival that turns the entire area into a haunted neighborhood full of Trick-or-Treat, activities, characters, music, food, and fun. It was really, really, really cool. Orange lights were strung up in paths to guide the …
