  • I have a Sun Netra X1 sitting on the floor that I've been meaning to get rid of. One thing to keep in mind with the Netra and Sun Fire servers: they have a System Configuration Card in the back which holds their MAC address, NVRAM settings etc.. don't buy one with it missing.

  • Even worse. Auto generated comments just copy the how and not the why. If the code has a bug so does the comment.. and if you fix the bug but not the comment somebody else might change the code back to match the comment.

  • I remember the 90s when both mac and windows crashed on a daily basis. When was the last time you saw a legitimate BSOD that didn't involve hardware failure? When was the last time you had to reset the PRAM on your mac just to get it to boot?

  • This is more late 90s. I expected more Borland C and realmode DOS.

  • I'm still holding out for a kit version. Maybe someone will make an open source clone.

  • Agreed. While I've never used ChatGPT on an actual project, I've tested it on theoretical problems and I've never seen it give an answer that didn't have a problem.

    So I would treat it like any answer on Stack Overflow, use it as a start, but you should definitely customize it and fix any edge cases.
