Yes I am that old. I am so old that when I was a kid my first PC was running DOS with windows 3.1. Granted it was because my parents couldn’t afford a brand new PC with Windows 95.
So at 5-6 years old I was typing “CD JAZZ enter JAZZ” to open The shareware Jazz Jackrabbit.
My first real console was the PS1 at eight years old and I used the plugs in that picture.
Thankyou for coming with me down my history, I don’t talk about it for you. I talk about it so I don’t forget it…
The only thing I found is that you need to install a video player, an image viewer and other minor things that don’t get included on the OS.
Upside is you don’t get all the normal windows bloatware, and you choose when to update not the computer shutting down for an update when it feels like it.
I only moved off 7 about 18 months ago. Check out W10 LTSC IoT It’s much nicer than regular W10 and it’s supported until 2032
Only moved to 10 LTSC IoT about 18 months ago. Was on 7 well passed the support end date
I’m 37 years old, I only buy digital when it’s cheap and easy.
I will never ever buy a $100 game digitally. Years ago when I bought overlord, overlords DLC and overlord 2 all for $5 and I got 40+ hours out of it… That was 10 years ago… If that is taken away from me then I’ll be annoyed but I won’t want to burn down the entire industry.
Rockstar a few years ago created a terrible remaster of GTA3, GTA VC and GTA SA and they wanted to exterminate the original PS2 versions.
I’m Happy the digital versions but I still have all of the PS2 discs in a box somewhere.
GTA VI is releasing soon with no disc… Enjoy! No disc… And no Lazlow… I’ve got plenty of other games on discs I can play.
Which is really depressing as the only time I buy digital is when the games are 60% off or more.
How many IT security people does it take to screw in a light bulb? 50 to Palm the work off on the service desk and another 250 to block service desks access to be able to screw in the light bulb.
Another few hundred to make it seem like the original IT security were actually useful… IT support get are still at the same amount of people… They do the work and they get the blame.
Might be obvious, IT security at my company have no fucking idea what they’re doing and just making random shit up to keep their jobs alive.
I now have to do IT support with one hand tied behind my back…
That’s actually really cool. All I can think of with AI is how many of the users I support are going to start throwing critical, private customer data into it asking for a recap… Completely unaware of how it’s going to store that data
It’s pretty accurate, AI and every other nonsensical idea in the IT world is making everything worse because all the big bosses want to see AI take off.
Baby Boomers destroyed the world and hated the Internet Gen X and the very oldest of millennials want to see AI take over… They’re now aware that AI will take their jobs too.
Gen Z and younger millennials are using AI daily.
I am 37 years old, I work in IT support… I know now to Google things, I know how to talk to people… So I don’t need AI.
Yes yes I’m very very aware how great AI is for science and medicine… I’m not in either of those fields so I don’t need AI.
Exactly, none of us even know who he is. But he felt he was important enough to create an entire documentary about Apu, crying that Apu was making Indians seem bad when Apu was crushing it.
Then if you payed attention I talked about how unhappy I was that the Simpsons let us Australians off easy.
I want to be attacked on all fronts because I’m a ridiculous human being.
“dickhead” is something you call someone you like in Australia.
Hank Azaria voices many characters and is a very talented guy. I don’t blame him for being uncomfortable voicing Apu
Apu had so many silly and offensive things towards Indians… But Apu is (As I said in my original comment) a great and wonderful character and is one of the better off characters in the show.
The only time Apu is a bad guy is when he’s selling expired meat or when he’s cheating on his wife.
The rest of the time he’s busting his arse and being so damned hard working.
Groundskeeper Willie is a drunk, hate filled, Scottish borderline serial killer… All okay it’s because he’s Scottish.
I don’t care either way, I like Apu and I like Willie but I don’t like that a 3rd rate comedian attacked Apu just to get famous and No one cares about the harmful stereotypes of Ellie… I don’t even care… Actually I’m tired of this, I don’t care.
It was already said about Troy Mclure. I’m still annoyed that a 3rd rate Indian comedian said “Apu is making us all look bad” Ahh yes Apu who is literally the hardest working person (besides Smithers) Apu a man who had 5 women dating him at one time. A man who got the hottest girl ever (The Squishish girl)… They decided that was offensive and against their race.
All I’ve got is “OI MISTER PRIME MINISTER” and “900 DOLLARYDOOS???”
I guess I’m entitled because 900 dollarydoos is fucking hilarious and I love being insulted.
I have some long lost Scottish heritage (ask the English and the Catholic Church why I can’t look up my history) and I Absolutely love everything about Groundskeeper Willie even his creepy phase of filming couples in their cars… "EVERY SCOTTISH PERSON DOS EET’
Okay update, It’s 100% AI scripted, voice acted and animated.
I have no idea what AI China has but apparently most of the videos are 2 mins, but there’s entire series.
Seems like most of it is just about marital problems between a husband and wife in different times and settings.
I’m not sure about the script or voice acting as I don’t understand Mandarin, but visually the ENTIRE thing is AI rendered.
Thankyou! You’ve given me a lot to look into
I’m on Win10 LtSC IOT… The only reason I moved from Win7 to that operating system was so I could keep steam alive. My steam account is 18-19 years old. Any one have step by step instructions on how to get the nicest, easiest to use Linux distro for a guy who uses 5 different windows keyboard shortcuts entry 5 minutes?
I’ve been with Windows since 95, I’ve been working in IT support since XP… I just want to get away from Microsoft, keep all my games, keep a file explorer and be able to quick change my brain to learn new (just as easy ) keyboard shortcuts like Crtl-C, Ctrl-F, Win-R, Win-E…
He’s sadly right… My wife is Chinese, she watches AI Chinese dramas and she has told me that most of China watch AI dramas. And Gen Z watch AI, Everyone younger than 30 relies on AI.
Now before you downvote me, I’m 37 and I’ve worked in IT since I was 19… AI gives me nothing I can’t find for myself. The only time I’ve used AI was when chat GPT was fresh and new and I told it to be more sarcastic and snarky in it’s answers and I argued with it for 2-3 mins before I got bored.
Humans are much better at arguing with me and being sarcastic to me.
I don’t care for AI, Turn off all the air conditioners and AI burns out.
Ahahaha you’re a big dickhead I like you.
If you’re ever in Sydney we should get a beer and brutally insult each other.
Reminds me of that experiment some guy did and dressed up in Mexican attire and Americans were all saying how offensive it was.
Then he went to Mexico and asked old Mexican men and they all shrugged and couldn’t have been less offended by him.
