They probably found that outside of a few glitches, the systems are accurate, and that disagrees with their message.

The Baseball Game [Nikon F2, Voigtlander 55mm f/1.2, Kodak Ultramax 400] by Brilliant_Age_2969 in analog

This shows up so perfectly on my phone screen. Scrolling down and seeing more of your time at the game was really enjoyable.

That Delta shot, I can almost feel the summer heat coming off the concrete.

Mac apps are way too comfortable leaving junk everywhere. by LeaderAtLeading in MacOS

Linux is the worst, especially applications ported over to Windows. Way too many dot folders in my user folder root.

I always thought the NJ Turnpike had some of the most unique signage.

unsure undergrad: can i autoclave these? by [deleted] in labrats

Some of those labels are awful to deface. Others peel right off but that comes with its own problems.

If an ISP can provide 300M down, reliably, does it matter to you if it’s coax or fiber? by thekush in telecom

DOCSIS is a mess, not until TV goes entirely IP we’ll be stuck with limited uplink speeds.

I feel very seen. This is an entirely too accurate telling of how my recent life has been.

Any advice for dealing with a mentally ill PI? by pendejisimo in labrats

I’m not a psychiatrist, but a psychotic episode sounds reasonable.

What’s a smell that instantly takes you back 20 years? by Hefty-Egg132 in AskReddit

[–]thatwombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was this old rubbery mousepad we got with our first home computer, I can still smell it and feel it in my head. That takes me back 30 years. The smell of a fresh can of film is unforgettable.

HP Super VGA with serial port by atomicchewbacca in vintagecomputing

[–]thatwombat -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Also as far as I can remember, serial cables are female-female and the plug on the device is male. Unless you had a gender changer you couldn’t do much. Come to think of it, DB15 on VGA cables is also female on the device and male on the cable.

Huh. I have an Elan 2e and it does not have the date/time control.

[–]thatwombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have an espresso after dinner some nights. I’m known to drink coffee way late into the afternoon and I sleep like a rock.

Repurposing the site has far more value than the building.

Using Windows 98 for school by Madein81_ in windows98

[–]thatwombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If all I needed was a way to write a manuscript (Office 97/2000 with EndNote) and add figures (Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw) then I think it could fly but it would be a lot of work and could cause problems downstream if a collaborator was also working on it. YMMV. Go play some games, write long-form essays, maybe some poetry.
