Same for me. Beyond the broadcasts, I'd write the stations and they'd reply by sending program guides, newspaper clippings, postcards, and other neat things from faraway places. Some of the stations even offered language lessons o

When I worked at a defense contractor, we were told to remove our badges when leaving the office, lest they be seen (and somehow copied) by spies hanging out at nearby restaurants. I would have thought any federal agency concerned about sec

Application compatibility mattered a lot back then. There was no Microsoft Word or Excel for IRIX and Google Docs / Google Sheets didn't exist, for example. Many of the prosumers wouldn't have been able to use it as a daily d

As a tourist, I didn't realize what a commitment I was making when I bought a snack from a vending machine one morning. I had to carry around the empty wrapper until I got back to my hotel room that night.

What do you mean "still" here? It seems like it's as bad as it ever was to me.

I'd imagine that the Linux users who report success are probably more selective when it comes to hardware. It's been my primary OS for 25+ years and I've seldom faced compatibility issues, but I also do my research and buy ac

Similarly, I now have a Samsung Galaxy A52, which has a headphone jack and a microSD slot (but no user-replaceable battery). I'm not particularly price conscious, so I feel like Samsung lost out on an opportunity to sell me a flagship

I agree 100%. And when people inevitably claim that the reason for eliminating the headphone jack is so you could have a phone that could withstand being dropped in water, I think back to the Samsung Galaxy S5 that I bought 10 years ago. It
