1990, so 35 years ago, there was no WWW, we had IRC, Gopher, Usenet. It was mainly students/universities and a couple of companies.

This first thing you should do when going protesting, is to leave your phone at home.

It’s not really a TPM problem, my Dell has TPM2.0 which is perfectly compatible with win11. My problem is the CPU (i5 6th gen) missing some stuff for modern device drivers or something, that is preventing me from upgrading win10 to win11.

Yes I dual boot MX Linux on it :)

I ended on reddit, damn, but for 2 years I just lurk from time to time, never vote/comment/post

It takes a long time to lose weight, and it’s about 80% diet and 20% exercise. But after a few weeks your heart/breathing should already be better. I’m 55 and wen I started jogging I was without breath and heart in top after 400 yards. Now I can run 2 or 3 miles non stop without too much suffering :)

Thanks, I hate this song 🫠

Same as heatpump door-to-door sellers, heat duct cleaning, etc, scammers who charge top $$$ and subcontract for a misery

Yup, and FB feed is horrible since then. Now a shit load of alternative pages are spam publishing all kind of fake news and far-right stuff. Everything is anti-left, bash liberal, bash quebec, bash woke, bash electric cars, etc.

I saw Avatar 1 in theater, a long time ago, it was ok, never saw it again. I started avatar 2 on Disney+ or something, stopped after less than 10 minutes.

The Golden Ass, I absolutely love this book

Especially inside the story Tale of Cupid and Psyche

nasm? the x86 assembler from the 90s?

True, and Alpha are even worst, most of them never touched a real keyboard, only use 2 thumbs on a phone. Don’t tell them about windows (or/mac/linux) or what is a UI or how to use a mouse and navigate in a OS, they don’t get double click or right click, resize a window, minimize a window (OMG THE WINDOW IS GONE!!!) it’s impressive.

I have seen a lot of late Z/early Alpha who cannot make some special characters on a keyboard like " or $ or even worst using AltCar. Using Word to write a letter, using keyboard shortcuts, etc. they are completely clueless with computers.

same, I don’t remember using the right control key ever

What is completely incredible, is that there is some simple embedded devices, be it a thermostat, dishwasher, etc, that sold thousands/millions of units, and the firmware is done by one guy, a simple developer, and when it works, it is not touched again.

Have you seen Musk balancing a fork and a spoon, mesmerizing! People around him were like at a “Musk Got Talent” show!

I worked on an embedded product, on prototype there were pullup resistors on the RX/TX lines we used to plug a USB FTDI to do some debug. At manufacture they removed them, it created a floating RX that sometimes injected character that broke uboot…

3dfx, haven’t heard of them for a long time, good old voodoo card

Me: “hé <AI name> remove the small text which is at the bottom right in this picture”

AI: “Done, here is the picture cleaned of the text”

congrats :)

by having a magic spell cast on me I guess
