“Canada’s per capita case rate has generally been less than half that of the US"

Yes and no, warp speed only needed to exist in the form it did because Trump had fired the existing pandemic response team.

Where I am from several years ago the city renamed the Christmas Parade to Holiday Parade in a bid to be inclusive of other winter holidays. A small subset of citizens got butt hurt and have held a competing Christmas Parade several times.

Apparently the war on Christmas is acknowledging that there are other options.

What’s this ‘cutting’ nonsense??? The shelf is a feature!!!

I think you might be misremembering; the original iPhone had YouTube, maps (though it lacked a GPS for whatever reason), a camera, Safari, and even a primitive HTML based App Store that paved the way for modern PWAs. Games like Bejeweled were available months before iOS 2.0 came with the App Store.

The Moto ROKR was an iPod that made calls.

The locals still call it the cock ring though.

That’s cool. I wish I had a fun neighbor. My neighbor rebuilds unmuffled engines 6 feet from my living room window even though I have been asking him to move to literally any other part of his property for 10 years.

I mean… we don’t call it the Great Plains for nothing. Great used to mean big not necessarily good, for instance, Great Britain is the largest British isle.

A piece of advice I wish I had listened to is “don’t turn your hobbies into a vocation”.

I’ve never understood why people think those signs are so you won’t hit them. They are for first responders to know to look for a kid in a wreck. But people don’t take them off when the kid isn’t in the car so they are mostly ignored.

That’s when Google will buy what ever is left of Condé Nast or Buzzfeed at bottom dollar and start using more AI to shit out “news”.

For the curious, here is the actual inspiration:

I remember the never obsolete thing, it was a subscription thing where you would get a new machine like every two years but IIRC they canceled it before anybody got a second machine.

I just meant for the meme. Our first PC was this one:

Before that we had a Commodore and I had limited experience on my grandparents’ 386.

Cmon, at least get the right tower:

I’ve been looking for 8 months… I’ve applied for over 100 positions and had one first round interview.

There is definitely trouble in the CS job market right now. I spoke to a recruiter who had no new jobs on their desk in two months.

So? That’s what liability wavers are for.

The other commenter is on the right track but the chip controls both USB and PS/2 as well as others;

In the 90s and 2000s, for x86 machines, slower I/O was handled by a chip called the Southbridge which worked in conjunction with a chip called the Northbridge that handled faster I/O like IDE and PCI. Later these were integrated into a single chip and, as of recent processor generations, into the processor itself.

AFAIK ghosting and key rollover are issues when using PS/2 but it can offer some milliseconds off latency when used in high cpu games.

Because it is…
