I can’t tell if this guy just constantly has bad takes and a shitty world view or if he knows saying controversial shit is what gets headlines. Maybe it’s both.

Not exactly the laziest but I was in IT collaborating with a dev on a project for our MSP’s control panel. They were ignoring my meeting invites, emails and IMs for a few days and I was getting annoyed. They were upstairs in a separate building across from ours. Kind of a hike.

Rather than hunt them down like a normal person, i browsed to their drive and stuck a batch script in their startup folder that drew a cheeky Matrix-style animated graphic (first one was out then) that after 30 seconds or so faded out to a message asking them to contact me. I set it so it would pop up and maximize if they rebooted. I tested it a bit but wasn’t sure if it would work or even if they ever rebooted since we had dedicated workstations.

But apparently they shut down their machine every night. So the next day they stood up and freaked out yelling that they had been hacked before they saw the ensuing message.

They were pretty pissed off once someone calmed them down and they figured out what i’d done, but we got the project completed after that.

Definitely some cuddlebug and maybe some blanket-thief in there.

Nice to see the capitalist centrists and AIPAC nut-huggers shook after the Mamdani sweep.

it’s the same dimensions as an early Toyota pickup. They deliberately simplified it but it has lane keep, collision avoidance, blah blah. Audio is BYO. They were straight up about that. Most of what you’d expect.

After watching them prototype and assemble , i was more impressed. it’s overbuilt to hell and back. But it seems to have some flaws.

Regardless i’m wary of the whole: we just built a factory and the stuff to make it so give us more deposits to make this real.

yeah we saw the damn emails where he’s asking Epstein if he knew one of the women he fucked was potentially a spy. And how to slip his wife medication for STDs. Months ago. It kind of annoys me they’re so slow to catch up.

I played the absolute crap out of my Genesis more than anything else, i was obsessed with SF:2 CE and the six button controller was a game changer. But for every other genre the SNES has more of my favorite games compared to any system I have. There’s just a charm and feeling of care put into some its games that is just leaps and bounds above everything. Hard to describe.

For pure slickness of the hardware and user experience—the Gamecube, NeoGeo Pocket Color and Dreamcast mesmerized me upon purchase from that alone. Of course they all have some bangers. Also the joystick on the NGPC is amazing.

They are snapped up rapidly here when they come off lease or if they’re doing financing deals

This was why I stopped using Mint when i tried it years ago. My tinkering broke the world too easily. Not sure if that has changed.

Seemed to become a rarer skill in the late 80s early 90s. It’s now at the point where I’m surprised if a co-op or younger coworker knows how to touch type. So strange with how “everything is computer” for so many jobs. How it is not a prerequisite for computer science courses blows my mind. I don’t think I could manage it.

i use it docked more than anything else with a 1080p monitor my old work was chucking. Works perfectly.

Some of my sms faves: Outrun, Space Harrier, Phantasy Star, Rampage, Psycho Fox, Spellcaster
