My phone is always on silent. Apple is decreasing the number of years macOS gets updates on hardware, is that going to be a problem? And more geekery!

Who can replace John Williams When you think of movie scores, at the top of the list is John Williams. From the scoring of the first summer blockbust Jaws to Indiana Jones 5, the man has cemented his legendary status as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, film composers of all time. Come to think of it, could you find someone that doesn’t recognize at least one of his scores?

The scripted show is going extinct Warner Bros. and the Discovery channel are cutting scripted shows. This affects shows at TNT and TBS. I don’t know what was a factor in this decision, but I can’t help to think that Netflix’s losses didn’t help. Is the scripted show dead? Of course not. Even during the worst times of TV there still have been shows. What is missing from the current crop of shows is re-watchability.

Does what Meta do surprise anyone anymore? This past year there have been several news reports about TikTok challenges such as the “devious licks” challenge in schools, where students would vandalize classrooms. Unfortunately for common decency, these challenges were made up by a firm paid for by Meta (formerly Facebook) to tarnish the image of TikTok. The stories would originate on Facebook, and were then picked up by the local news.

Facebook went down, putting Whatsapp, Instagram, and more out of commission. And then to twist the knife, a Facebook whistleblower explained to congress how evil Facebook has become. My geek travels went from Mick Jagger to cheating on tests to wedding photos taken with the Gameboy camera.

I’m going to try something different with my This Geek in Review posts. Instead of creating individual posts for various cool things I find on the internet, I’m going to post one list on Fridays.

The 80s are back! We are living in strange times, especially when The Empire Strikes Back and Ghostbusters top the box office charts almost over 35 years after their initial release. I wish it didn’t take a pandemic for some of these great movies to get some theater screen time. In other 80s movie news comes the story behind The Pointer Sisters Neutron Dance in Beverly Hills Cop. The song was originally released in 1983, but didn’t become popular until it was attached to Beverly Hills Cop.
