This illustration is completely wrong.

The man representing hackers isn’t in a fur suit.

Seriously. The dudes thorax looks like he’s had extra organs installed ‘just in case’.

He needs two livers to process all the research chems he probably stacks every day.

Who would play the young upstart that idolizes/challenges a grizzled and worn out Julia Roberts?

Wow. I’ve been ignoring Windows 11 for 5 years now?

If the kids don’t have their phone how will they broadcast the next school shooting to their followers or ask ChatGPT what the best hiding spot is nearby?

It’s kind of clunky, but Radio Shack has a Serial to PS/2 adaptor.

The Radio Shack by me has been closed for remodeling for a few years, though. Maybe you’d have better luck at Circuit City?

It would be a crying shame if somehow the GPU manufacturers made it so the next generation of games required TWO graphics cards to operate.

I’m imagining how awful it would be for a German to get into an Uber with an average chatty American driver.

You never go back, or so I hear.

When you request a car you can add a message to the driver saying something like ‘passenger is deaf/dead’.

That works sometimes.

This is something a thoughtful and rational person would do.

I am usually one or the other, never both, unfortunately.

My IRL filing system for bills/legal documents is shoving them into a shoe box. When the shoebox fills up I get a pair of shoes and start fresh.

The upside to this is that everything is roughly sorted chronologically by geological layers.

When I bookmark a site that pretty much guarantees I’m never going to visit it again.

Now I have a thousand bookmarks that I’m afraid to dig through.

Found the Sumerian.

Dear Strongbad, how do you comment on Lemmy with boxing gloves on?

I had a QA position at a game company and there weren’t any windows on the open dev floor, only the break room and lobby. On top of that, they kept us testers in a freezing/sweaty separate room. Crunch dinners in that cramped hell were so fragrant.

It was interesting, but never again.

I was so confused the first time I popped in that VHS, thought I’d gotten a mislabeled cassette.

My PC is an electro mechanical pinball table from 1971 (Williams Klondike, btw) running Puppy Linux.

Not going to lie, I kind of want to bury a case in the woods for a few seasons, clean it up just enough to mount hardware/not be crawling in literal bugs.

I know it’s insecure, but I’m a Windows 10 holdout on my desktop. I allowed 11 on my shitty travel laptop and performance went way down. I’ll probably wipe it and dance with Linux again.

I just threw up a bit at the thought.
