They just used to get really dramatic upgrades because the period of time they released have been big growth periods.

That was most of the tech industry when I was growing up. When I was 13, a computer with a 66 Mhz processor and 32Mb RAM was a beast of a machine, and only 6 years later in '99, we had broken the 1Ghz CPU barrier and were typically installing 256Mb to a whole Gigabyte of RAM.

These days, I can still decently run the majority of modern games on a 12 year old machine. The "home computer revolution" that started in the 80s has most definitely flatlined and nothing very interesting is happening anymore. Kinda the same thing that happened to smartphones. Where now taking shit away (like the headphone jack) is considered "innovation".

Edit: There used to be a joke in the 90s that when you bought a new PC, it was already obsolete by the time you carried it out of the store.

Using a VPN for torrents and forgetting to set it up to kill the network connection when VPN is lost. Got a couple "love letters" from my ISP that way.

You can sudo mount and fork my box anytime....

Just saying, the shit you can find on the Internet does not come even close to what Hustler was. There is instant access to all kinds of weird and fucked fetish shit that just wasn't accessible in the 90s and earlier.

Or, as is most likely, he is in fact, a big fat poser with everything. Shit like this is like the "code" I used to pretend write on loose leaf paper in elementary school that was just computery-sounding gibberish.

In C/C++, it's very common for a function to return an integer corresponding to any errors that occured within the function, including a "success" error code, because it has to return something, otherwise it's undefined.

I'm not sure that's what happened here but that's why "successful" errors are a thing. Somewhere it got misinterpreted maybe.

We aren't in an age anymore where differing political opinions are harmless. People aren't debating mere tax policies anymore. Wake the fuck up.

Yeah I made an edit literally exactly same time as your comment as I thought about it.

That's like saying fire extinguishers filled with nothing but air are just false advertising. People have died taking these "treatments" when actual professional medical care would have saved them.

What about embedded work? You gonna run a full graphical GUI on a network router?

He needs to slow it down because it's very noticably aging him. Kids, don't bake your skin in cancer rays just for some outdated 80s "bronze" Baywatch look.

Actually, maybe he needs to do even more sessions now that I think about it.

"Go away! 'Batin'!"

Experts emphasize teaching responsible tech use rather than imposing broad bans.

This. Discipline the student for having it out during an inappropriate time. Not punish the group. Is that so hard?

Oh you mean South African Debian. Yeah that's a popular mod, I guess.

Pretending? The upper class of capitalists have always favored the right. They'll allow the milquetoast Dems but lock out people like Bernie just to make it look like there's political choice.

Well, I mean, are you going to continue to go out and hand them all that money? Then they'll continue to feel like they can safely raise prices. If you start making burgers at home and buying beer at the local liquor store, you'll be paying a small fraction of what you paid even in 2016. If you need some social interaction, just make it a cookout and invite people. I'm sure they'll be happy to have you at their place in return.
