  • This is the biggest waste of words next to a “Trump-said” article.

    Laptop makers once put pop-out mice on laptops. They were horrible. Toting a wired mouse around was a pain in the ass too. There’s a reason touchpads took over. It doesn’t mean people don’t know how to work a computer.

  • Banner ads, not for a long long time, at least not intentionally.

    Last week I needed parts for my snowblower, and Amazon was not helpful finding what I needed, so I googled the info I had. A competitor’s ad appeared as the first result. I was skeptical as hell as I clicked on it - my experience has always been similar to yours - but they had a comprehensive, easy-to-use database of parts, with diagrams, part numbers, in-stock notes, and cost all on the same page. No hacky website, just the right information presented well. Wound up giving them the business.

    I guess not everyone is a rabid, cheating, lying SOB. Just many people. Lol

  • The only two risks stopping humans from waging nuclear war is A> the likelihood that the humans who start it would lose power over their people and B> cleanup of affected territory is incredibly expensive.

  • For most games, the real consequence of failure in a game is being forced to repeat what just happened. And getting caught in a Groundhog Day-esque situation that repeats once every few minutes suuuuucks.

    It’s even worse when a failure causes your character to lose stuff. That’s even more time wasted, in that the time and effort taken to get the thing is gone.

    Paint the rainbow on my proud carebear chest if you must. I just want a place to escape to for a little while, a place that doesn’t frustrate the shit out of me.

  • Commodore VIC-20 with a tape drive, modem, and terminal software. My father used it to take distance learning classes from the local community college, learning COBOL of all things, back in 1982. He unfortunately never went anywhere with programming. I used it way more than he did to write my first programs in BASIC. I was 5 years old.

    Now I build and run MPLS networks, code in 5 other languages, play lots of video games, etc.

  • Too bad. Supreme Court is taking up Trump’s case to get him back on the ballot in Colorado, states’ rights be damned. This is the time for the GOP’s SCOTUS to deliver, and deliver they will. Nothing anyone can do to stop it. The voters will have to decide.
