Every time I logged into a forum, it would highlight all the unread posts. The latest post pushed the thread to the top. I'm not sure what forums you used that weren't like that. PHPBB and vBulletin both did that by default.

I mean, have you tried to search a Facebook group, or any of the modern social media? There's not even any way to organize things, except for maybe some sticky posts. Forums were broken up into all sorts of sub-topics, and you could se

My dad took away my PC when I got bad grades and put it in his room. I took the mobo, CPU, RAM, hard drive and PSU out of the case, put them in my backpack and went to my friends house. He never noticed. That said, I still couldn't use

Tech companies have set back technology by decades already. We can't to any P2P shit on the internet, instead everything goes through a middle man who will take your money or flood you with ads. We have bandwidth limitations on every c

How far will people let this go just to save a few bucks on a big TV? I'd just rather not have a TV at all. I imagine the next thing will be webcams that analyze your expressions to get your true emotional reaction to everything. Peopl

I feel like the next big thing for Teams is going to be AI monitoring your emotional microexpressions via webcam. Then it'll give a presenter or manager or executive a summary of all of your emotions throughout the meeting with timesta

Also it's right there in the name DOGE. It's Elon's favorite coin and of course he's trying to pump it by naming a goddamn government department after it. It's plain as day.

Win2k also had the smoothest mouse movements that I had ever seen. If you had a PS/2 Mouse, you could turn up the sample rate up to the max. Dragging windows looked incredible. Even my Mac to this day with a fancy brand new 4k display

Are you fucking kidding me? You get interrupted reading this shit by a pop up asking you for your information?

Yeah not to mention everything now runs under svchost.exe. So when it spikes to 100% CPU usage, you can't actually figure out what's causing it easily.

IIS came with Windows years ago. I think it was even an optional component in Windows 98.

I haven't used Windows in years. But one of the main things that pushed me away was how they constantly just shit all over your hard drive. I used to keep a really, really clean Windows filesystem, but I wasn't able to keep it up

I think so, isn't that why they brought in all the KN95 masks? The K meaning "Korean."

Couple of years ago, they were doing this to me every... single... day... at 4am. Nothing really scares them off. I would go outside and try to wave them off. They go just far enough to get out of your reach, or just hide on the back side o

You can probably buy 90% of the data you need from a broker. Also Equifax leaked all of our personal data too. This is the consequence of all the data leaks and legal harvesting.

The guys at the big companies have a service which tells them your salary and all kinds of personal details about you. The point is to see how much you can afford, pray on your ignorance, and milk you for as much as possible.

Yeah and when it does break down, the parts are going to cost more to fix it. And what are they gonna do when their car breaks down catastrophically? Buy a used car? The prices of those will skyrocket once the price of new cars goes up. The
