We had our chance a little over a month ago. Now our only hope is their own incompetence.

it honestly could have been a 10mb, I don't even remember. only thing I really do remember is thinking it was interesting how it used the floppy and second cable, and how the sound it made was used in every 90's and early 2000's tv and movie show as generic computer noise :)

You have me beat on the XT, mine was a 286, although it did replace an Apple 2e (granted both were aquired several years after they were already considered junk in the 386 era).

My first HD was a 20mb mfm drive :). Be right back, need some “just for men” for my beard (kidding, I’m proud of it).

With all the billionaires rushing to kiss the ring, the richest cabinet ever by a large margin, the media just rolling over at every chance it gets… it’s really hard not to feel like we’re already in full blown fascism, and this has all just been the preview.

I really hope I’m insane and paranoid.

Yeah, I feel like this last election was an awakening for me of exactly how stupid, selfish and ignorant this country is on average. This country is just dumb as shit and proud of it.

I mean, I have no great love for DST, but I have no faith that they can do anything but completely fuck it up somehow. Whatever results will be at best, no measurable improvement, but at least a monumental pain in the ass for those who have to do the work to keep shit on schedule during the morass.

I fear you are right. I’m hopeful you are wrong but the same world is doing everything it can to beat the hope out of me.

I think there’s about 8-10% too many of them. To make things fair, we should remove an equal portion of each (starting from the top).

Explains a lot of the assholes I grew up with.

Jebus, this is so depressingly truthy.

I agree and my comment had obviously no nuance. I’m still dealing with VMware fallout in my professional life which is on Broadcom but still, this dude had control of another huge sinking ship previously…

Damn, this guy is utterly fantastic at ruining huge tech firms.
