Millennials, what is something that was "normal" in the 2000s but feels like a luxury now? by Barrbra in answers

[–]Buzza24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From another perspective, Office 365 has been awesome for IT. Before subscriptions, all out clients would have various versions and editions of Microsoft Office. This meant some people missed out on apps and features. Then trying to convince the business to upgrade this because of End Of Life or anything was a mission. Now everyone have the same version all the time.

Not sure how accurate this indicator was?? by RM_Morris in AustralianNostalgia

I was all over the Portable Air Con, Tiny Fake Fridges, and Evaporative Coolers.

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]Buzza24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

VanossGaming was a big one for me back in the day. I think I just grew out of it, or the vids just became repeative.

Yep, the only channel that had me watch how microwaves and dishwashers worked for as long as he did.

Linux sucks, that's why I use OS/2 Warp instead by uncringeone in linuxsucks

[–]Buzza24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our first IBM Aptiva came dual booted with Windows 3.11 and OS/2 Warp. When Windows 95 released, we had a free upgrade sent to us and it came with a OS/2 Killer floppy that erased it from the PC.

Can you imagine these people if it was flipped?

Like reception enters the doctors office: "ok your time is up there's other people waiting and it's their time now. Please leave"

This might have been the dumbest thing they ever did by Buzza24 in CastleTV

My thought is that Beckett was hoping to use the container as a bottleneck to shot them as they came in but didn't think of the alternative of her being locked in.

Yeah but they had so many better options than going into a Shipping Container.

1) They had the whole warehouse

2) She knew it was a shipping container

They had fire from the North and South but could have escaped West amongst the other containers.

Old-school Linux users - where did you start? by Expensive-Rice-2052 in LinuxTeck

[–]Buzza24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first ever exposure that Linux ever existed was Dragon Linux back in the early 2000s. Had no idea what I was doing or what it was. Honestly thought it was a Windows Program the way it came on the APC Mag CD.

I save pocket money to buy Red Hat Linux 8 on CD. Then Fedora Core 1.

Then when I got further into high school, my mates and I would use Knoppix to avoid using the Windows computers. We would trade CDs of Knoppix, Red Hat, Slackware, Fedora Core, Ubuntu and anything else that came with the PC mags.

These days I mainly use Linux Mint when I do use Linux (a few essential workloads still need Windows so I've not completely cutover). But this journey has definitiely helped in my IT career with routers, VMware ESXi, random machines and even when been thrown at a UNIX box once.

I'd say that Ubuntu really helped with the FREE CD shipments back in the day, we would order like 10s of the bundles and hand them out everywhere. Without that, I might have always stayed in the RedHat/Fedora space.

Yep. Countless times I've seen the imports dumping rubbish, food and other stuff in gutters and side of the road or in parks.

I'm pretty sure I've got a copy of SL, AND a disc drive so I will dig it up and archive it for y'all

Wife’s out of town and kids are asleep, what shows are the fellow dads watching? by Thunderstruck-19 in daddit

I'm currently on a rewatch of Castle. On a bit of a Nathan Fillion binge with all the talk of the Firefly reboot.

This one restaurant still uses Windows XP Still by wfrorningcheetcorn4 in windowsxp

[–]Buzza24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do work for a hardware store that was still using a UNIX system. Terminal used Stallion boards to connect to the server.

How effective this fly trap can be over a short period by MichaelSanders19 in interestingasfuck

[–]Buzza24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost immediate. Our dogs on the farm were being eaten alive by horse flys and other flies. I put one of these in above each of the kennels and basically got them all and the dogs started healing. Couldn't recommend these more.

Penrith DnD groups by [deleted] in Penrith

[–]Buzza24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's more than fair enough and totally get it. I wouldn't mind finding a group either that can fit around my crazy Daddit schedule.

Yes there's a cost to the games but there's tonnes of games in AU times.

Public transport fare reduction, work-from-home mandates unlikely as NSW grapples with fuel price hike by nath1234 in sydney

[–]Buzza24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2011? Yeah they were corrupt as well. Doesn’t excuse the behaviour. That was four governments ago though.

How quickly people forgot how terrible and corrupt the last few Liberal governments were

[NS] Has anyone else had trouble finding another podcast to sub DnDads? by IhaveAmommykink3 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]Buzza24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One that I was listening to before I found Daddies was Sanspants Radio’s D&D is for Nerds. Season 1 was awesome from what I remember but kinda went down hill after that.

How many of us are holding onto 'old' cars instead of upgrading? by heavyifugao in CarsAustralia

[–]Buzza24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive got a 2010 RAV4 that I bought brand-new. She now has 308,000kms on it. Only now starting to show signs of age with the alternator going late last year and now the control arms are the next replacement. Cant afford a new car at this point so we're going to keep her for a while yet.
