- Comment on Is there a split ergonomic keyboard that has dedicated arrow keys and a full row of function keys? 12 hours ago:
Macs definitely have a way to take screenshots/snips. I know they do, because before Windows had the snipping tool, this was one thing I was jealous about Mac’s having! Haha
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 1 day ago:
For me, it was having a water filter and drinking out of glasses, not cups. I don’t like the way water tastes coming out of plastic or steel as much.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 1 day ago:
Step two, drink cup.
I think you’re supposed to drink the water, not the cup itself

Huh. My Windows one has one, but I always use WindowsKey+Shift+S these days
- Comment on Is there a split ergonomic keyboard that has dedicated arrow keys and a full row of function keys? 2 days ago:
It also has a Fn key that gives you an extra “layer”, or half of one, I believe.
I think Kinesis also offers a higher-end model that has some programmable features, but I went with the regular Freestyle.

Oh, interesting! I haven’t heard “auctioning” on its own.
- Comment on Why are they asking about the serial number? 3 days ago:
Oh wow!
Yeah, putting up for auction is more general and common. I guess I don’t “auction off” enough things to know what most people say.
I’ve heard “auction away” enough – maybe that’s what the nom-professionals say? Lol
- Comment on Why are they asking about the serial number? 3 days ago:
Since your main question was answered, but not your other question, it’s generally “auctioning away”
- Comment on Top-selling video games ever (2025) 4 days ago:
Fascinating!
I’d be interested in seeing a list that was adjusted for the “number of gamers” at the time. A game selling a million copies today isn’t the same level of accomplishment as selling a million copies in 1985 when there was a smaller global market.

I found the Signature “At the grave of Grandma…” In the file.
I tried to find more about this, but it’s half “viral grandma meme” and half “help my grandma’s phone is full of viruses”, lmao
What was this virus?

I didn’t know that – thank you!

Fair!

It gets more complicated when you have to factor in profit…and then shareholders…and then demands for exponential growth. That makes it harder to estimate how much is costs, how much is greed.
(Not that all of this should be free or delivered at cost, necessarily – it’s healthy for people to be able to make a living off of products or services they provide)
- Comment on Do we know how much apps would cost if we had to replace as revenue with subscription fees? 2 weeks ago:
The cost of those to the service provider is generally not zero though. And cost is per user, and these all have fewer users than mainstream social media and “services”.
Though Linux is an exception here, with it costing only the time of hobbyists (at least as far as I know)

- Comment on In this modern world of AI, with devices everywhere having microphones, is it even safe to satirically joke and banter with a friend anymore? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s safe.
The microphones are generally not listening to and processing everything you say.
You can turn off your own devices’ passive listening. (E.g., Siri, Google, Alexa…)
If they do listen to what you say, they’re almost always not going to care beyond “How can we use this to sell you shit you don’t need?”.
It would be too much effort for too little gain, even with AI, to try to “catch” anybody for your “satirical jokes and banter”. In the government’s eyes, you’re not as special as you feel you are.
And even if they did, you’re unlikely to be charged for a crime unless you live in somewhere like North Korea, China, Iran, or maybe the UAE?
- Comment on Is it wrong of me not giving a shit when cops get killed? They signed up for the job know what it entails. Same with Firepeople. I feel bad 4 families but no one gives a shit about Nurses or DRs? 3 weeks ago:
Hmm. Motorcycling might be higher or counted together with driving a car. I forget the stats.
The others generally aren’t used as methods of transportation, but instead are generally recreational activities.

The percentage of people in those jobs who die is small. In fact, there are quite a few deadlier jobs out there. (I want to guess that they’re mostly related to resource extraction)
Do you also not give a shit when a driver dies because we know that driving is the deadliest method of transportation per kilometre?
- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 3 weeks ago:
I grew up with many of these games!
I remember going to pick out PS1 games. Spyro the Dragon was the one I put the most time into.
On the Genesis, I also remember picking “Streets of Rage 2” simply because I liked Street Fighter 2 on the SNES and I thought it’d be the same kind of game. Best decision I made about a Genesis game!

I think they’re more looking down on the jail itself for not having many books.
As well, writing ability does not indicate someone’s overall level of capabilities.

I’m surprised that a social worker would be saying “You have a fair bit to learn about the English language” to someone who is looking to donate books to a prison…
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
The elitist part was saying that someone should learn more about the English language before trying to help others learn.
They didn’t merely"wonder" if someone read many books. They were dismissing someone’s desire to donate books and help people.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Lol, why the elitism here? It doesn’t seem like OP is trying to do anything bad.

Anyway.
Others have answered the question well, but retro tech has always been interesting.
I think that these days, more people are interested in tech in general (it’s unavoidable in our daily lives), and more people were interested in tech before, too. So there are people exposing younger people to older tech, and in some ways, the “disconnected” aspects of retro tech can resonate with younger people.
