… and attempting to kill adblockers!

It’s like they don’t want anyone to use the product. And just bleed the customers that can’t quickly migrate to something else.

Insane

Does what it says on the tin

A good isp would give you something bigger than a /64 - /56 or /48. something that you can subnet.

Because you don’t really own the product. You get a license to use it with some major caveats - Including no modification/reverse engineering etc.

Lack of security updates would be a big one. With Android products that has been my most common reason to switch. With Apple, its usually battery and/or wear & tear.

i managed to get my hands on two Amiga 4000 040 in a local auction a few years ago.

Other than replacing the batteries and some minor repairs, i’m ashamed to say that they are just collecting dust.

Still, pretty to look at. God i wanted one back in the day! Now i’ve got two! 😄

I got on the Amiga train in 1990 instead. BBS and early internet!

I was lucky. Born in the last gen-x year and with parents in the upper middle-class in a western country. I could save up to whatever console and game I wanted but yeah, I never did play any sega consoles and I never did own a c64. But I did get my feet wet with some c64 games as I had friends who had it.

I’m glad I grew up with these games. Todays games, while superior or pretty much every way, all seem to lack “something”. There are exceptions of course. Games like dead red redemption 2 are something else!

Yeah Super Metroid was as awesome as you can imagine as a 14 year old!

I played it a LOT on my Amiga. My cracked version had a, let’s say, “interesting” crack intro.

Cool, found it on YouTube. It’s sort of NSFW: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wG84cj4rago

jesus christ, dude

My old Roomba is getting quite old and I was thinking of replacing it. No idea with what - but I know it won’t be an Amazon product. What other brands are somewhat known for quality?

I will always associate that name with Nuclear holocaust.

Quite fitting

And “are you done yet?”

Feels good, right?
