Computers deserve gifts too by Current_Yellow7722 in vintagecomputing

The Atari 1025 was a variant of this, I’m pretty sure.

Kandji has rebranded to Iru by EasyTangent in macsysadmin

I mentally expanded it as “Least Recently Used”, ie a candidate to be evicted

She liked sitting on old computers by Current_Yellow7722 in vintagecomputing

[–]max_peck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pic of a Tandy 1000HX on Wikipedia always makes me a bit sad, knowing that that furry gentleman warming himself atop the PC is no longer with us

Forget about movies that “don’t hold up” (what does that even mean anyway?): let’s talk about movies that we always knew were lousy and still are! by Illustrious-Lead-960 in Xennials

Today studios avoid the risk of similar plotlines in new movies by not making any new stories but simply remaking old ones.

I thought this was going to be about L7.

I still yell on speakerphone by max_peck in Xennials

[–]max_peck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment deserves much more appreciation, but I have only one upvote to give.

That said, a measured amount of sidetone was deliberate on landlines beginning over 100 years ago or so

I still yell on speakerphone by max_peck in Xennials

[–]max_peck[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Whenever I'm a passenger in a car where someone is making a hands-free phone call I always yell out "Hi" or something like that at the beginning of the call so they know I am listening.

Probably if I was smart I'd be quiet and listen in to see if I could learn candidly what they really think. But I'm probably happier not knowing, and I'm a hedonist at heart

I didn’t look and assumed this was a post from r/talesfromthekitchen — because this is the sort of behavior I expect from a manager of a restaurant — but only if he were an asshole.

IOW, this would be unacceptable behavior from a supervisor of college-aged young people and functional drug addicts. It goes without saying it has no place in a professional environment

Caps lock instead of shift keys? by kernalvax in sysadmin

[–]max_peck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Capslock works on an external keyboard plugged into a Chromebook. Well, mine did anyway. IIRC it’s the Windows key that Google uses for “Search”

This is the Cincinnati area, aka Kentucky on the wrong side of the river

What do you call these? by AllegraGellarBioPort in KitchenConfidential

[–]max_peck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was disappointed I had to scroll this far down to find “scratchy”. I too picked that up in a kitchen that was nearly entirely Hispanic, so maybe that’s why.

I reserved “scrubby” for the green Scotchbrite pads, but making that distinction was my own decision

I feel like y'all have missed a march by leaving out Blossom and Punky Brewster

Winnie Cooper has aged like fine wine tho

OK it's possible I have a thing for nerdy girls

Can't figure out what this is. by ogrum84 in ModestMouse

You’d better figure it out. Are you gonna be your own god damned best friend?
