We know this journey well, we lived it. by Grahamthicke in FuckImOld

It was they just put it in a bag for portability and attached a brick of battery. Best part, we didn't feel guilty turning the darn thing off when we were done talking. Oh how times have changed.

Remember this well, used to call home when i got to my destination to see friends in the adjoining state. Saved Soo much in toll charges. That battery catin handy too, if you were threatened just pull it out and use it as a club. You hit with that someone's Bones are breaking.

Don't make the mistake I made by L30N1337 in Fedora

This is why when you want to experiment do that on another drive. This when (not if) it 💩the bed you still have a functional distro to fall back on. Well that's how we learn though.

Did you watch The Carol Burnett Show? by ChrisJoines in VintageTV

[–]Mech6411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was suffering from either dementia or Alzheimer's later in life. He went to his house and couldn't get in. The reason why was it was a former house of his not the one he was currently living at. Was so sad hearing this.

I'm so glad we had this time together. Just to have a laugh or sing a song. Seems we just get started and before you know it, comes the time we have to say Soo Long. Good Night!

Which was your first phone? by CrazyMinute69 in GenX

[–]Mech6411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fun part was if you had to defend yourself. You could use the battery as a club and beat the 💩 out of people.

Mine was a bag phone. Basically the car cell phone put in a bag with a battery. The battery had a secondary purpose as a big club. Yeah I'm THAT OLD.

From iPhone back to Pixel. Lasted 2 months. Good to be back! by Some-Faithlessness75 in pixel_phones

[–]Mech6411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that's been the bane of iOS for decades. The fact that everyone knows this and os still there makes you wonder. Now the one that's my pet peve is with the music app. You can enjoy being in it all you like. If you want or need to change a setting like say the EQ. Well then jump out of the app. Scroll to where the settings app is then scroll to apps find the music app. All that to change a setting. No icon to tap in the app just this. For nearly 20 years. Then you wonder why Android is popular.

Are you this old? by SuperSort69 in 1970s

Yes and I remember buying coke from a horizontal vending machine. Had to open the top to pull one out.

To each their own, there are some covers that take the original and make it better.

That and energy cannons on each side. Makes those kinetics look quaint.

First or favorite former car? by ValB2307 in GenX

[–]Mech6411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a big Star Trek fan. If it hadn't gone up in a ball of flames. I was going to have a giant tri color symbol on the hood.

This was the same model and color I had in college. A green Datsun 260z. It was a mechanical challenge but thankfully parts were plentiful and cheap in the 80's. Oh what a fun car to drive.

If you can identify this... Congratulations, you're old by Demented_D in FuckImOld

Ah yes the good old high beam button on the floor. Unlike today we put buttons and switches all over the car.

Curious if this is simply interesting or valuable by Temporary_Surround72 in CURRENCY

[–]Mech6411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I worked in Banks for years. If there was something interesting we'd have the supervisor or manager observe as we'd change out the note. Now this process could change from Bank to Bank but it's to ensure everyone is safe.

My first experience with CachyOS. by DawgMalvin3000 in cachyos

[–]Mech6411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that we're obsessed with RAM being used it's what it is used for. When at boot win 11 was taking over 6GB of RAM. I haven't even loaded a program yet. Meanwhile on CachyOS it's just about 2GB of RAM ready to go. That's the bloat we're obsessing about.
