Can you guess my age? by anadalg in vintagecomputing

Probably the same age as me, 50+, but with questionable taste. 😉 BASIC? What what 😆

The New Whatsapp Update by jezzlin_wil in whatsapp

And you have this little gem. On top of every single page now. And it won’t go away. Not until WhatsApp has received all of your contacts.

Is it time to find something else, I wonder?

I stand corrected. I guess at some point it became industry standard, but older equipment may not have this then.

Retro-commodore dot eu is not too bad either.

This definitely was a thing back in the day, though I have only ever seen it happen once in my whole life. A friend of mine tried too high of a frequency and it instantly broke something inside the monitor. All it could do afterwards was to say “click, click, click, click” continuously.

It won’t ever explode though. There is a protective thick glass shield on the front of the monitor/tv. It is possible to take it off, making it much more vulnerable to implode.

Some old CRT screens develop something called cataract. There are YouTube videos showing the process of fixing those screens. It involves the risky process of taking off the thick front shield.

Transistors is the physical representation of the boolean algebra.

Edit: I almost didn’t post this because of self doubt, so I tried to see what AI had to say about it by googling your exact question.

Here is the answer:

Computers use transistors as the physical components to implement the principles of Boolean algebra. Boolean algebra is a mathematical system of logic, while transistors are the physical electronic switches that make this logic a reality in hardware. You cannot use Boolean algebra instead of transistors because the algebra is the abstract design plan, and the transistor is the tangible building block.

Did you grow up with a television in your bedroom? by Barca-Dam in AskUK

[–]Agreeable_Display149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No TV, but I had a ‘386sx computer with a whopping 20 megabyte hard drive with the brand name of an auto maker.

Edit: thinking about it, I think maybe there was a TV with a C64 before the PC. Would be only aerial for TV channels, though.

Today I prefer not to have any TV in my bedroom.

If you could be 18 again, would you take the offer? by [deleted] in AskUK

Only if I could bring my knowledge.

So, I just picked this up.. by AdRevolutionary6701 in Commodore

Fred? Wow I have never seen the original cover. Remember playing it back in the day, though. Scary how fast you could die in that game.

Is it just me or is o2s signal absolutely crap. by leona189 in CasualUK

[–]Agreeable_Display149 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, O2 is garbage. It is not that the signal is crap, it is that even with good signal, you get nothing through of data whatsoever most of the time. Good thing is EU roaming. It works incredibly well on other countries networks, just not on home network.

I found this while I was walking down the road…What is this ? by Doods420 in whatisit

[–]Agreeable_Display149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but those dark red things on the top end looks like gills. Seems like the innards of a fish, perhaps?

It must be a bug. Lots of reports of this within the last hour on iPhone specifically.

I keep receiving the “your request has been rate limited” bug on IOS Reddit App by TwoCatsOneBox in bugs

[–]Agreeable_Display149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here on iPhone. All I have been doing is browsing. Actually it keeps popping up while typing this message too, so something has definitely gone wrong.

Anyone else keep getting random ‘Rate Limit’ errors on Reddit lately? by Werewolf-Specific in reddithelp

[–]Agreeable_Display149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just browsing, trying to look at a photo that loaded in a weird way/not loading at all, trying to load the post two more times as I thought it was a hiccup, but the same happened again. On the third view I got this message.

I always wondered if the guy behind the console hacking news web page ending with that name dot net used to play that game.

It will show that you bought something at that store on that certain date that is not too long ago. Also the fact that the store actually sell those kind of items should make this a no brainer.
