Home self hosted stuff is definitely the only time I usually get to have fun with this stuff. Work can sometimes involve fun problem solving but by the time you cut through all the red tape to get it anywhere the thrill is gone.

Modular synthesizer. Modulating the white noise generator with a slow LFO to create a nice ocean wave background kinda sound.
Those were truly wonderful times. I remember even around 2000 campus network security was minimal to non-existent and we were all just going wild and I learned so much.
One I haven’t seen here yet is Pulsar: Lost Colony. Similar to Star Trek Bridge Crew or Artemis I think, but you can do away type missions along with working together to fly and operate the ship. Up to 5 players.
I went to school with a girl who never wore the same outfit ever until like her junior or senior year when she got in trouble for something and got cut off. The word was she said something like “What am I going to do!?!?”
That’s far more fucked to and sick than just having kids wear a uniform. Granted most kids aren’t rich enough to have that situation even happen but still.
No but I sure have dealt with a lot a stupid decisions for years because somebody thought it would and used that as an excuse to be wildly insecure to save time.
My apartment complex has a battery recycling center at least. Best Buy near me had a bunch of bins for various electronics so at least some areas in the US have convenient places for it.
Now do they actually recycle them vs toss them in the dump? No clue lol
The airport. I try to avoid going anywhere that makes people work on Christmas when I can, but the airport is always open and we have people that helped us cash.
1966 Fender Princeton guitar amplifier. Me likey
Was there a 2D Mario that let you play the main game in couch co-op? I remember that being what made this so much for for us. Two people trying to coordinate through the levels added an extra layer and challenge of sorts that was a lot of fun.
I posted a quote from Ghostbusters lol.
But yes it isn’t too hard to game the system and get rewarded for minimal work. I had to put a shit ton of hard work in to get to that point but if I felt like it I could do minimal most days.
They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there! I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results.
My $200 bluetooth earbuds are adequate at best but in no way compare to my Sony wired studio monitors that cost half the price. I paid for wireless for work calls hands free.
They wireless is nice for a quick walk to the grocery store or something outside, but if I am wanting to really listen to music I plug in.
Resistance is futile.
Also didn’t the two big subreddits permanently shut down and move to the fediverse?
Mission of Burma
Diiv (Although they just toured with Depeche Mode so they may be more known now)
Spot
A Minor Forest
Part of this is also just the fact that simpler = broader appeal to a lot of companies which translates to more money.
I feel like there have been tons of even larger big companies being exposed for tolerating this kind of shit, hell Blizzard not too long ago. Not that it is bad that they are getting exposed, I had heard of this channel and it always seemed like lowest common denominator trash to me but just with a tech “theme” so I had ignored it.
We are long past the days of getting them for near nothing so at least supporting a local shop is good. Still crazy these go for so much now, but still cheaper than when they were new!
Printer maintenance came to mind. Pure misery, but I am sure big law firms are still printing like it is going out of style.
I am still blown away that I only heard of TempleOS recently. And also blown away by the actual OS. Like holy hell what a thing.
