@manawyrm@chaos.social oldest I got to hand May 2000: Amiga 1200 with '030 and 18 meg ram. Connected to the internet via a PCMCIA card to a VSDL service straight into the ISP I worked for. CD-ROM, 2GB HD, airlink remote control thing (that controlled a sky box IIRC over the internet - the streaming was obviously not handled by the amiga!) uprated (old PC) PSU, prograb 24 frame grabber. External keyboard naturally, alongside a Philips CM8833-II sat on the desk. This open-heart-surgery pile of parts sat on a shelf to the side 😂. Beast of a machine, definitely a battle station, had the base A1200 since 1993, and repeatedly bolted stuff on, on a tight budget. It was starting to become difficult to use as the daily driver around then, but everything about it was great fun. nothing's been remotely such a pleasure to use since.

@rbroekman@mastodon.social ahhh nee!!!

The "...and chat wants to see it up close" on the stupid ebay live ads 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Streaming will replace broadcast, they say...

Streaming will replace broadcast they say....

@nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe DH0:Work, obviously. (age: old)

Yes Mary Berry! We MUST cherish the BBC! #bafta

@PacoVelobs@mamot.fr yea easily possible I think. I wonder if anyone in that position would think to do it tho.

@ricmac@mastodon.social html! Who'da thought?!

I see Claude has gone to a whole new level with the hallucinations, making shit up I never said in the prompt, arguing it to itself, acting upon it as if I said it, then reasoning it back out to me as part of it's response.

Makes the hallucination buried in the reasoning, rather than just out there in the response. Madness.

When are MS ever gonna learn?

@py2toz@mastodon.radio for me Meshtastic had nobody on it (working that is) and Meshcore is the opposite. No hate, no playground "mine is bestest", just how it was at the time.

@GamingWithEars @solderandchaos and Mastodon is, cos anyone can look at the web version ❤️

@tayfonay @catsalad been thinking about where best to move them to. Maybe the toilets?

Nothing like radio footy commentators waffling on about bollox while someone scores #evertonfc #manchestercity

@da_667 @mttaggart 100%. Lots of times it's obviously not good people on both sides.

@tayfonay @catsalad do definitely move device!

RE: @DreamStationcc@mastodon.social

If you have to vote on what will work on backwards compatibility, backwards compatibility is not the thing you're talking about.

@Viss don't think that view is spicy at all.

@bert_hubert @brown time for a second Internet I feel. The first one is about to become usless.

@el@tilde.zone @ratcatcher@beige.party if there's plenty of both in your area, I'd totally start with meshcore.

@davidgerard just like autopilot driving, no? Human not required to drive, but must remain in the seat with hands on the wheel paying the exact same amount of attention to everything at all times, ready to take over for when the AI gets it wrong. Yeah right!

@Viss@mastodon.social 😂😂

@Viss@mastodon.social does it tho. One reading suggests you may be unlucky to have been affected by few issues which have a chance of being sorted soon, another that everything is off and not coming back on.

@Viss@mastodon.social I really REALLY don't undetstand a single word written on that page. Corporate mumbo jumbo to the max.

@GossiTheDog thats a hell of a lot of resources going up in smoke for "entertainment". Perhaps we should go back to going to the pub and watching the telly.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange I'll take that.

@HopelessDemigod@mstdn.social Also not remotely enough flashy leds and funky tiny displays. Screw boring Ascends 😂😂

@HopelessDemigod@mstdn.social they ripped the USR total controls and replaced them with ascend in UUNET UK, but I thought the USRs were cool so I'm downbeat on the ascends 😂😂

What the fook does "elevated error rates" mean in practice anyway?

@HopelessDemigod@mstdn.social I love that ascend got nowt 😂

Me: I'd like to try to use CarPlay pls.

Radio: ready.

Radio: Please wait (a stupidly long time... what could possibly be going on computers are FAAAAAST these days. Not like there's a 6502 handling some complicated sync)

Radio: sorry you must enable siri on the phone (bullshit #1 there's no legit reason for this)

Phone: no such option as Siri it's now called Apple intelligence (bullshit #2 there's also no legit reason for this) Me: OK enable it.

Phone: Will be enabled next time in WiFi coverage. (Bullshit #3 there at least should be an option to do it over cellular if you want)

Radio: OK still you cant have it. Even though you have enabled it (Bullshit #4 cos the phone is basivally saying Schrödinger's Siri enablement, it's on but it's also not)

Me: OK fuck all of this shit I'll use the phone as I was via old school Bluetooth.

Radio: nope nothing playing via bluetooth, even tho the sound is coming out of the radio and I'm STILL telling you that you can't enable CarPlay without Siri. And if you go into bluetooth audio it stops.

Phone: also if literally anything happens I will now also mute the music for a second and be silent for a sec when there clearly should be some sort of notification noise.

When did Apple stuff get this shit? It's all over the place.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk @f4grx@chaos.social I dunno what spying the Frontera has but they apparently made a conscious decision to simplify so maybe not much spying.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk @barrowofdirt@barrowof.gay surely it's already something like Microsoft 361?

@Edent@mastodon.social @Wifiwits@infosec.exchange google's filtering for legit reviews working absolutely fine too 😂

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange had to go look that up! It's true none of my cd-rw's from the late 90s read anymore.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange found 3 spindles of dvd-r's the other day, I'm gonna get archiving 😂

@brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org yea as others have said they've done it for as long as I can remember and sure it's just a signoff play on the name of the site.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social important (or big) stuff doesn't mean we can't pay attention to anything else. Randomly I accidentally ran Twitteriffic today and saw the date was Jan 2023 😱 I hope enough of us pay attention to whatever you do and best of best of luck! ❤️

@craiggrannell@mastodon.social they renamed Office to Copilot?! 🤯

@robinince@mastodon.social super respect for taking the stance. 💪

@TechConnectify @f4grx got to love a thorough assessment of some xmas tree lights!

@jon@social.vivaldi.net @ruario@social.vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net i need to bite the bullet and get this done. I've put up with win since '98 through XP and 7 which were all agreeable enough. But this latest nonsense.. needs to go.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Firefox ofc, although sometimes it's difficult to love. But really I'm still loyal to iBrowse ❤️
