That is indeed a fun fact!

I’m not sure if “skilled” is the word, but they get by

I actually learned the lemmings thing from the windows 95 era PC game “Lemmings”. This is also how I learned that lemmings have green hair!

Amen. Ain’t nothin’ cool about scurvy.

This is literally an ad, and not a clever one.

I got my BS in CSci about 15 years ago and it was 100% about programming in java. We didn’t learn a fucking thing about hardware and my roommate was an EE major and we had none of the same classes except for calculus.

By the time I graduated java was basically dead. Thanks state college.

The files downloaded this way are usable offline? Is there some utility you are using to do this? I am very interested.

I’m amazed you still have the old files. I was late for Napster but I downloaded loads of individual files from kazaa/limewire/frostwire and used them to burn CDs.

Only a few years later though I would get into torrenting and replace pretty much all those shitty old low bitrate files with 320kbps mp3 discographies.

Many years later after college when I finally had a little extra money I started buying all my favorite CDs I discovered from the previous meana and ripped them myself to ~1000 kbps FLAC and meticulously tagged and organized them into my current music collection.

CDs are unfortunately getting harder and harder to find and I’ve only very recently started torrenting a little again, and I prefer everything be FLAC but if it’s not available I still do have some 320kbps mp3 left in the collection.

“the cloud” is not a legitimate backup solution, and you’re doing people a disservice by advertising it as such. The majority of service providers are just as untrustworthy as spotify.

This game gave me a life long love of the 1997 McClaren F1. Fastest street legal sports car at the time. Top speed of 232 mph.

If I became a multimillionaire tomorrow I would immediately seek out a 1997 McClaren F1. I never liked the look of the newer models.

I truly hate modern windows but this isn’t the issue I’d choose to illustrate that. I recently installed Fedora for a few weeks and one of the first things I wanted to do was change the wallpaper. Turns out there are 3 completely different places you must go to change desktop wallpaper, lock screen wallpaper, and whatever the other one is. Pretty poor design.

I ended up going back to windows because there were laptop-related functions that I just could not get to work on Fedora.

Some poor sucker is going to eventually buy the display model tho

I can’t be certain but I seem to recall installing Unreal Tournament 2004 from seven CDs

How is that even possible? Even with 8k retextures of every single asset of the game I can’t imagine it being half that size.

I think you replied to the wrong comment

Before the pixel existed I owned a Google Nexus 5 4 which was manufactured by LG and to date that was the worst phone I’ve ever owned. I guess my point is it doesn’t matter who is manufacturing the hardware; if Google is involved it’s gonna be junk.

Edit: it was a 4 not a 5 but either way it was such an awful experience I’ve never bought another piece of Google hardware since

rdx is already an android app

but they pollute the night sky visually and that’s nearly as bad.

Just now? Lmao
