I have coded VBA-based shadow-IT back in the day, but I seriously think this is something that needs to disappear in most firms that still have it. It is typically unmaintable automation of tasks at the department level that is super dependent on who is around and is still often in use after the programmers are long gone. I have seen a few old VBA tools in use that should be done with standard python/R or god forbid even JS Code in a decent documented repo.

The tropical ones and cola bottles.

Jeremy the incel in shell

In Germany we have Katjes brand gummies that now have a whole lot of good vegan types of gummies.

Na, but Millenials used it in their (pre-)teens seeing some fucked-up shit (and strangely most of us are still fine)

Yeah probably some people at bell labs bullied some people in Stanford over ARPANET in the 1970s

This sign goes hard in countries that belonged to former Yugoslavia.

Historians will argue whether this is canon or not

Na that was actually liked.being buggy, slow and having poor driver support at launch killed it. Windows 7 which was just polished Windows Vista was very popular.

I had one in 2010 in Germany. Was basically a UMTS modem plus some really shitty phone software

Going to Germany as a nurse should be possible. You would need to do some language courses and handle some bureaucracy but we have a big nurse shortage.

But will it be better than pregnancy test doom or the doom-like game entirely embedded in a QR code ?

If you can tariff penguin island you could also tariff polars, which isn't slow.

Code Didn’t Break — They Did

Text encoding 'standards' were clearly the devil’s work, handed down to humanity to sow chaos and suffering.

Well the Synthesizer is a sound of the Future. The sound of the future

This 80s metal band is making real music without synthesizers!

Na, that is just historically inaccurate. The original Macintosh team collected their stories/memoires at folklore.org, which give you a pretty good overview of his talents. He was really mercurial and Woz was the better engineer, but played a really important role in the vision/design of computers as we know them today. In the original Mac team others did the engineering and Jobs never claimed to be and engineering type of person, but he had a good feel on the importance of design, clear visual metaphors and good interaction design and pushed the team relentlessly into that direction.
