I just admitted to remembering working with Windows 3.11 for networking…
Also, being technically correct is the best kind of correct I’ll have you know ;)

It’s what Windows search could have been. I don’t know what kind of black magic they’ve got under the hood there but I think it’s really just indexing and watching the file system for changes so that it can update the index in real time. This obviously doesn’t work for a network resources that change frequently but still, it’s very nice when you don’t know where the hell anything is.
The everything search engine is flexible and fully indexed file search engine that you can use to find any file anywhere on your network or local storage, instantly, and only a little bit slower than instantly on a very slow old machine.
Not always.
In other news, I feel old.
Yup, it sure is. S4E5 Metalhead
Cool thing is, GPT fixes all the problems with elitist gatekeeping assholes, whether on stack exchange or something random Linux forum. It truly democratizes information.
Hahah yeah. 100% air gapped. About as secure as a paper door. Sometimes I feel like they just put it out in the field after they get their first successful test done and then forget about it forever.
Did hospital IT work and 100% agree.
I see. Sort of like what the Republicans/fascists are doing with, well, everything.
It was requested by the secret service as a countermeasure for counterfitting. More frequently it’s been used to “catch other criminals”, at least that’s what they say.
Except for all those tapes that had a 5-minute or 10 minute difference between a side and the b side because they didn’t line it up right. You just sit there hearing wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow as you wait for it to ff to the end of the tape.
Hold on, I got to flip the tape over.
I hear pi is infinite
I think so. Just pieces parts sitting around at work.
I was hacking together older hardware,but yes. Also it was a while ago.
This. This exactly. I’m wanting to teach my kids how to use Linux and first I want them to get used to it so I’m exposing them to computers through gCompris… So one of the features of the software stops working I don’t know why I uninstall it I reinstall it. Same problem. So now I’ve got to go figure out what’s wrong with the OS itself that’s causing that problem in the software or just reinstall it, the OS that is, because that’ll only take a few minutes to kick off and I can just leave it alone and it’ll finish whereas the OS troubleshooting could take days or it could be something I never figure out.
Not to mention wrapping wifi drivers… 😭
For fun, I once decided I’d figure it out. I was doing a job where I had free time at work and there was spare hardware sitting around so I decided to go ahead and do it.
PAIN. So painful.
I love Linux, but I like to work on whatever I want to work on, not what the OS decides I need to work on that day.
Thank you kind internet stranger! ❤️
It’s got quite the story… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS
