BeFS was amazing. I miss BeOS, TBH. I ran a heavily customized BeOS R5.05 install that had upgraded bits from OpenBeOS (later, HaikuOS), ZetaOS etc. I ran it as a daily driver on a Dell GX1 SFF that I swear was designed for BeOS: Max RAM th

Seriously. Different strikes for different folks. I love stuff like this. It’s computer history. It’s interesting from a technical perspective as well as being a snapshot of culture.

Trump is a prime example of money brings money as he isn’t even /that/ rich but dipshits keep giving him money. It’s bizarre. Anyways, I have a family friend who is a doctor. He lives in a quiet neighborhood in a $400k house. It’s

No? It is not undeniable. Maybe for a huge chunk of people who require socialization or they eat themselves. But this bizarre idea that you HAVE to have friends and romance to be healthy is ridiculous.

That’s because you can start a buncha stuff that ends up great and still be a raging narcissistic man-child. And a whole lot of people want to just overlook everything because “he makes a lot of money” or “I like this tech thing”

Ok, to actually add to this instead of just a one liner… My current employer is a prime example of this stupid mentality causing issues. They’ve gotten better about it but since I started little over two years ago they’ve had probably 60% t

God no. “Write like you talk” is exactly what causes the drivel my poor wife has to grade all day. She teaches college English and lit and the crap people turn in is mind blowing. They can barely string together a coherent sentence verbally

Yep. Same. But let's not complain any more. Apparently that is faux pas

Ok, I want to read this. I hate watching videos of talks. But holy fuck, what the hell is with this transcription output? I do not think I could read this post like this because it would make me brain hurt and also this is the worst layout

I had an iPad for a long while way back. I bought the Retina one initially. It was nice for what it was. I just can’t get excited about anything iOS as unless you have REALLY bought into the “ecosystem” it’s a clusterfuck. - File management

Yeah that is true, too. I will say, on my end, if I am eating and watching a video it is generally just entertainment consumption like an actual TV show or a movie. I rarely spend that time to watch a video review of something. But I defini

People think "burner phones" are not traceable. They watch too much CSI etc. Pattern matching has been successfully applied to phone logs between seemingly randomized src and dst phones. I'm busy at work and terrible at commu

According to Wikipedia: “ The panels were used to check the usage of the processing nodes, and to run diagnostics.”

It was to look impressive tbh. I love these units. The LEDs, iirc, were tied to the processors being active or accessing memory or something. I forget exactly what. It wasn’t really for information purposes but for looking impressive. And i

“No shit”. Wait, you mean something that literally tracks any and all actions in a literal chain of history that is immutable is easy to track?!? You mean that pattern recognition can be applied to even “randomized” in both size, time, and

Yeah true. In a perfect world we’d get that. In an imperfect world gimme text and pics lol.

Guys, I think they are being sarcastic. They just forgot /s. At least I hope so since they literally just rephrased the “criminal activity” bit.

YES! This 1000x! I hate how ever damn thing is a freaking video now! “Let’s review still image quality of latest mcgizmo phones… via video!” “Let’s turn a 3 minute read into a mindless 45 minute video for “engagement””

There’s no point in trying to logic with people like this. Somehow, people got it into their heads that vaccines = immunity! With 100% success!!!! And, no? What? I haven’t figured out where they got it from.

Link? To something other than a nutjob site? I mean, I haven’t looked into it and tbh I wouldn’t be that surprised if it DOES correlate to a higher risk. But I’m willing to bet we are talking insanely low risks but people will always know s

Omg no it doesn’t. You know damn well that some random streamer or podcaster isn’t the same as some of these heavy hitters of insanity. And even ignoring that then YES, YES they should be held accountable if they are knowingly spewing false

Oh here we go… rolls eyes This is not “chilling to free speech”. Spewing hatred and demonstrably false utter bullshit and stirring up people knowingly is what he has and continues to do. Just like any number of other sociopathic fuckwits

Pretty OK. But, like, wtf is the point? You’ll be buying a slightly cheaper than a regular laptop laptop with a shitty OS on hardware that will /literally/ have support expiration date assigned to it. There’s no compelling reason
