I wouldn’t call it a bad change, quite the opposite but when I read Fight Club, I was amazed how faithful the film was to the book. There are just two major changes I can remember.

In the book, Tyler Durden meets the narrator on a (nude?) beach where Tyler is erecting driftwood into the sand so that the shadow looks like a hand. (It’s been a very long time since I read it, I think that’s right.)

Secondly, the narrator struggles all through the story to remember the correct formula for the home made explosive. If he doesn’t know, then Tyler doesn’t know. Which means the explosives at the end don’t go off. The buildings stay standing.

From what I remember, 1984’s Dune is basically the book condensed down into the highlights. If you’ve read the book, fine but otherwise, it must be quite confusing.

I think the term life hack is ridiculous in itself. (Cue old man rant) In my day they were tips and advice. You’re not hacking anything. 😁

My first computer was a ZX81, but I think it was a custom build between my father, a carpenter, and my uncle, an electrician who fixed arcade games.

It was housed in a wooden case with a proper keyboard. The 16K RAM pack had been soldered on inside, so there was no case of it ever crashing due to a bad connection.

Simple black and white graphics with no sound. I loved it to bits.
