It’s the developer way. Being in office means that the team will never live with the consequences of their shit code. They’ll never fix the 10 things that annoy people every day because they don’t use it. But hey, at least they can all go to lunch together.

Bleh. Late 90s I was a mobile pc tech and I could have used these gloves back then on some computers. People are gross.

We’d let it run for a few minutes before we drank from it cause Tommy thought it was funny to pee in the hose for some reason. Looking back, he wasn’t all that smart and I’m not sure we were the either cause we knew but figured ”let it run for 5 min first” was enough.

Though i’m the very tail end of genX and a “computer expert”, I pretty much think that the millennial generation being the only generation was all part of a solid de-education plan. At the rate we’re going Its only a matter of time where the tech we have today is forced to be only approved OS, controlled, monitored and IT capable people who know how to bypass will be arrested for violating the law.

The water is starting to get warm…

Just had a conversation with someone on this last weekend. They’re what I call someone dependent on corporate daycare. They need to be working or they lack self value. Their boss is an ass, hardly works and this guy thinks he’s slacking at 12 hours a day (exaggerated only a little).

What are you doing that is so important? Is it saving someone’s life? Life changing cancer drugs? No no, it’s a PowerPoint that shows the progress on the projects of equally less important tasks that is only making your boss look good.

And the fucker still thinks he’s not WORKING HARD ENOUGH!!

I have a sister like this, so i feel this lesson here is choose what you share. For me, tell her when you want people to know, but tell her its a secret so she stews on it then posts it to facebook for the world to see. I’ve been strategic about it, helps the process.

I read this in a Russian accent.

I’d love to see what the vote would look like if we broke the gerrymandering systems today. Democrats are just now talking about doing their own fuckery to counter republicans, but what if we just “didnt” have them, which side wins?

Good news. I’m now working 5 jobs that just magically appeared. Time to fire more people telling the political false truth!!

/s

So… not immigrants? Hmmm

No. Send help

This man really needs to realize things are not rated like golf. Lowest scores are NOT good.

I had one. Awesome, until winter and the audio would stutter till the drive was warm. Bumps, road rivets, all ended the drive in a year

Hellmo, making sure that the kid knows this is peak life right here. Someone feeds you, someone wipes your ass. But tomorrow, well tomorrow you’re on your own. Hellmo welcomes you.

Trading Places, is the movie. 80’s movie

Ok, you poke fun but there are public bathrooms in Italy that have a hose and nozzle just like this near the toilet so you can rinse.

Yeah, sorry. Nerded out there for a sec on description. I don’t remember the lag that much, doom was ok. I think we all upgraded to 10Base-T ethernet (you remember the bnc stuff) after playing quake and host tended to have the gaming advantage. A few of us worked at a pc repair shop, so we could source (aka borrow) the parts if we couldn’t afford to buy them.

A few laters Quake world came out, someone finally popped for a hub and we all had 100mbit cards installed. But around then, we got @HOME in my neighborhood and gamespy was my new friend. I hated hauling my whole setup once a month after a year or so.

Token Ring is a network protocol where a token—a small data packet—circulates around a ring topology, allowing only the device holding the token to transmit data, thus avoiding collisions. We played Doom and Quake.

Does anyone remember the exit came command? Legit done playing this release, it’s not fun anymore.

Seriously, 20 years from now we’ll all look back at this and go “wow, that was some crazy shit”

I remember getting a copy of linux from my friends at a local LAN party (though it was tokenring party for us) around ‘96. 2 floppy disks. I’m 99% sure it was slackware.
