Why is 2010s movie Star Trek called the Kelvin timeline?

I'm sure there's a valid reason, but I've got no idea what it is. Why "Kelvin?" Is that a reference to a character in the original Star Trek continuity? #star_trek #nerd

The triumphant tragedy of Street Fighter Alpha 3 on Game Boy Advance

Time Extension recently posted this excellent interview with Cameron Sheppard and Mike Merren, formerly of Crawfish Studios, about its ambitious Game Boy Advance port of Street Fighter Alpha 3, and how it significantly contributed to the downfall of the company.

I appreciate all the advice you guys are giving me!

By the way, I should probably mention that I do have an SSD in this system, along with a SATA Y-splitter to keep the CPU fan from running at full blast all the time. Seems to work so far! I wish I could have secured it with screws rather than a few pieces of Gorilla Tape, but whaddaya gonna do.

Linux probably would be easier for me; I have a little more experience with it than Mac OS. But I feel that it would be a good idea to just learn how a Mac works. I imagine that knowledge would come in handy later. Prior to this, I owned a chunky Power Mac made in 1996, and I can see that the Mac operating system has changed a LOT since that time.

What do you do with a dated iMac?

Okay, so you know that iMac (mid-2011 model) I rescued from a thrift store for fifteen dollars? After some struggling and a little panic about the screen not working (it was just a cable that disconnected, no biggie), I got it back up on its feet. Hooray for me!... #help #please

Good news, everybody! It was just a display data cable that came loose... I don't think I secured it properly. After that was fixed, I spent the night installing El Capitan, and it seems to run pretty well. Now I just need to button the thing up and we're off to the races.

Apple iMac (mid-2011) woes. Can anyone help?

Okay, so I got one of these at a thrift store for $15, and had the galaxy brain idea to open it up and swap out the old plate hard drive with an SSD, even though I don't have much experience repairing Apple devices.... #question
