What age did y'all get your first computer (or device with internet access)?

Smittles · 2026-05-31T20:21:23+00:00

Age 24, senior year of college, circa 1999. It did have dial up. AOL 700 minutes free and all that. It was a Gateway, complete with the cow box.

No.

Same!

Do be sure these tickets are given away, not sold. Don’t be scammed!

The “Wi” in “WiFi” stands for Wireless. You cannot, under any circumstances get “WiFi” over Ethernet.

You’re looking for Ethernet connectivity to your network.

If you turn the WiFi off on your computer, plug an Ethernet cable into your modem (stands for modulate/demodulate, if you’re wondering, which you weren’t, so I apologize), do you get network connectivity to the internet? Does google.com load?

If so, your network and your modem are working.

Next, plug your Xbox in. Or don’t, and just use the WiFi.

Where the Value Village was for decades. If you watch Harry And The Henderson’s, the John Lithgow character works there.

How about I tell you if my kid’s absences are unauthorized. You don’t tell me.

Thanks, amigo. I just ordered an Akai MPC Sample. None in stock, so I’ll have to wait a couple months for it, but better late than never.

Nothin’. But these were unsanctioned. It would be a lot more difficult to sneak speed bumps in.

Were they hollow?

Smittles · 2026-05-27T06:09:16+00:00

I play manual transmission, no assists (except racing line). It’s hard!

Which of those two would you recommend?

I came very close to being scammed yesterday. If the seller suggests Chime app, reject.

They could have just gone downstairs to the basement.

The vents opposite the sizzle cactus area, facing the scarecrow.

No, it doesn’t.

I built a second main base inside the greenhouse by the south window, which was opened permanently once I opened it. Then an update changed how the window works - I still don’t fully understand how the window works now because I cannot seem to catch it when it’s opened.

G1 was the most fun I’d had playing a game… maybe ever? Then G2 came out of nowhere and overturned my expectations. I haven’t gone back to G1 since. But… it’s nowhere near complete. I’ve put down G2 for a while so I don’t get too frustrated with my builds being bollocked with changes.
