  • Practice good hygiene and it’ll be fine The trouble is that modern apps are forced to adopt features which depend on the new OS. Your old one will be incompatible, on purpose

    The security aspect is secondary to the monetary growth and recuperation of investment in the new OS.

    They spent all those monies to make it “AI” betting that you will eat it up and pay up. Now there will be significant pressure for them to “increase adoption” or someone gets fired







  • I remember it being pretty incredible that there were other users out there I could talk to. I had heard about email and I got an address! I didn’t know anyone to email, but I had an address! Chat was amazing. BBS systems offered text games, like LORD - which also took things to a new level. Participation in discussion forums on BBSes and AOL led me to forums on the Web. At school we used to use gopher but the www was more fun (if you could see past the construction sign graphics) and you could always see the hit counters and guestbook links on most pages. Then the construction signs got more sophisticated and animated😀 The early-mid-90s Internet was glorious. Google showed up after Yahoo was too littered with ads… Some guys in college made a search engine that prioritized speed - dreadfully important at analog speeds…

    This is annoying, where I am, I can usually just smile and walk past them. They want to check my receipt, but I don’t

    What’s become especially irritating is that so many items are locked behind glass. Want some knee pads so your kid can go skateboarding? Please get an associate. Want a new inner tube to get a bike up and running? Please page someone for help. Then, when you finally get the inner tube, the guy has to physically walk it to the self checkout area, put it into a cabinet and then I have to walk around to the front of the self checkout, ask the girl there to go get it and then I ring it up myself? What the hell is going on with inner tubes!?
