Quake III Arena also had a native Linux version.

And Quake, Quake 2, Descent, UT, Tribes 2.

The iPod was so derivative of the creative labs mp3 player that Apple ultimately had to pay them $100 million.

The Lisa and later the Macintosh copied from xerox. Something that everyone was doing around then. Amiga and Atari ST both had guis. Hell even the commodore 64 had Geos. The Mac didn’t even get color until 1987.

Handspring had a smart phone, complete with touch screen and apps, years before the iPhone.

Mac os didn’t have proper multitasking until version 7.5, years after Windows had it.

Onkyo created the first true wireless earbuds.

If only there was a breed of dog that we could use to control the wolf population. Maybe something in the hound category, native to the country in need. Some sort of Russian wolf hound.

I feel like you’re confusing intelligence and education. There are plenty of smart uneducated people, and quite a few educated stupid people.

Intelligence exists, it’s just hard to measure.

Yeah, let’s just ignore that historically Israel has killed 20 Palestinians for each Israeli killed.

And because that was the original name. They retconned YAML Ain’t.

No, they changed it from yet another to yaml ain’t.

Ah yes, Compaq, the company that used non standard power supplies but with the standard wire coloring and connectors. I had several customers blow up their motherboards after buying standard replacement power supplies.

Steam deck 2: episode 2

Which makes the lack of an android app all the more shitty. They have one already but refuse to make it available if the device isn’t connected to a TV.

Then you get into the actual layout of the program. Spoilers are a huge issue. I can’t watch a game later without having the game ruined partially. Sure you can switch off scores, but you still have to scroll through game highlights to get to the full match replay.

I’ve been looking so long at these 3d printings of you

That I almost believe that they’re real

I’ve been living so long with my 3d printings of you

That I almost believe that the printings are all I can feel

My first install was also slackware around the same time, but I just bought it from the computer store I worked at. Pat was an occasional customer, who sometimes brought in home brewed beer for the technicians.

After watching my cop neighbor try to drive a dog away with pepper spray, it’s not going to help much. Even direct hits to the eyes didn’t seem to affect the dog much.

Was Oracle ever not shit?

I’m a 53 year old IT person, and I’m leaning towards 1. The level of technology incompetence in the general public is astounding. My wife only knows “Have you tried turning it off and back on again?” And that pretty much makes her a member of the help desk at her job.

Fun fact. Total Eclipse of the Heart was originally supposed to be a vampire love song.

I remember in the 70s the London bus schedules had a disclaimer on them that said something like “just because we publish this schedule doesn’t mean that the buses will follow it, or that they will run at all.”

We got proof of that when the bus driver of the last bus of the night decided that his shift was over and kicked everyone off the bus and went home half way through the route, leaving us stranded miles from our destination.

Aye, there’s the rub.

A plea from a cat named butthole.

There are HDMI cables that are basically HDMI to fiber tranceivers. The HDMI plug draws power from the HDMI port to use active components to convert to a fiber signal.
