That’s awesome 😎
I’m old enough that I
basically just fart dust.remember when…The telco forced you to rent the phones from them, went defunct, got bought by AT&T, who then proceeded to send my folks an $700 bill for the “princess phone” they never wanted back. And now my folks wonder why I’m a socialist 😌

Reminds me of the port-o-rotary… the guys at Spark Fun were rolling around Makefair with a million years ago. Like $500 to convert an old rotary phone into a cellphone you could carry around.
Shit audio quality, but now that I’ve got a few bucks 😅

I think buying the domain came with an agreement that I would only use it to contribute to the nations cultural development or something similar… so it’s at least on my list of places to visit.

- Comment on John Carpenter's 'Dark Star' is set for a 4K release in November 1 month ago:
Finally got around to watching this a few weeks ago. Good movie, bitter sarcasm. Hard to imagine the conversation with a smart-bomb not happening at some point… I mean, the military gave something an X-Box controller because people picked it up faster. And way had a way more rational military at that point ;-)
Fun Fact. I registered darkstar.org back in the early 90’s because I didn’t know how to change it. It was Slackware Linux’s default domain name. Had to explain that to Patrick. Always felt like a bit of a schmuck :-)

New road or dump? Try new stadium… oh and here’s the bill for the toxic waste removal that you wouldn’t have had to do if we didn’t build a stadium on your house.
Homeslice needs to do a bit of research. Go solar, then trash his local grid.

I’m just guessing on the vegan part obviously…
College is tough, sometimes you just forget your carrot in the shower.

- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 5 months ago:
That’s true, it took them 10-15 years but they built a huge service business. I was specifically referring to the loss of the desktop market to the “clones” which has a rough equivalence.
It was more of a cheap shot than a serious prediction ☺️ As long as MS controls the licensing and software this is a completely logical move.

Man, that kind of figures… I bet it was a PR campaign that they paid for. So in a way we all got value out of that lie… nope. No satisfying conclusion to be found here 😒

Anyone member when IBM decided it was an “ideas company” or some bullshit like that?
I mean, they still make more than I do, but when was the last time anybody thought of IBM?

This is a common misconception in the U.S., it’s not even the car’s job… that crappy sticker has the shittiest union.
