It was awesome to see which lab and xterm someone was on in college so you could pop by. Plus, when you used the xterms, you never had to wait for an open computer!

That mid-1990s postscript, networked printer when new cost as much as a small car! The HP Laser 1000 was like $250 tops new.

My local farmers market has different colored table cloths to indicate the source of the vegetables. I’m sure sure if or how it’s checked.

I have seen huge improvements in low light performance. Not worth a brand new phone, but very cool.

We are personally responsible for what our agents do. I don’t know why someone thinks “oops Claude did it” is a valid excuse.

Many people don’t use numbers when evaluating whether their laptop is still capable. Does it last long enough? Does it lag or freeze? Can I still do my job? Then I don’t need to upgrade.

I’ve never replaced a MacBook because it was worn out, but because I wanted a newer, higher performance version. I have a 2018 MacBook Pro that I just can’t get rid of because it still works great.

I seem to be hard on my devices. They get nicked, scratched screens, battery worn. I am wealthy enough that this expense is not particularly impactful to my financial goals. So, I upgrade yearly. I am seriously considering not going that wa

That’s awesome! I haven’t really played with them, only silently seethed when the elevator is crowded.

What makes me more peeved about destination dispatch elevators are people who aren't used to them, and all pile into an elevator without hitting a floor, thinking one input is enough for everyone. Then, a totally full elevator stops at

My solar production data is fed to my ISO so I can sell clean energy vouchers. My solar installer just called me the other day asking if I had a tree shading a panel, because production on that panel was low. There are plenty of reasons to

I tried getting my kids to play sierra games with me, and they seemed uninterested. What a bummer, as I have very fond memories of playing these games with my otherwise uninterested parents.

My local center in a big northeast us city is very cheap during the week, and reasonably priced on the weekends. Surprisingly, even their food and alcohol is priced lower than what you’d expect - cheaper than the sports bar down the block.
