about 30 years too late, lol

But thats gonna be one of those things thats gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of my life.

My favorite dot matrix memory is printing a like 400 page Breath of Fire 3 strategy guide on a daisy wheel dot matrix, and it took over night to print and everyone in the house complained about the constant ditditditditditditditditdit

edit: And the ribbon was so worn out that you needed forensic equipment to read it, but i persevered.

Its probably just much cheaper and easier, unless you absolutely have to have color, to go to good will and get a brother laser printer for like 10 bucks.

I got one years ago and its still on the original toner cart it came with, and I print decently often.

until they start having drone malfunctions that result in concussions, sliced throats, and decapitation.

Yep. There were many wrongful death lawsuits as well, i think which resulted in millions of dollars of payouts to families, and all the coverage really hit domino’s reputation to the point they finally dropped the half hour guarantee in the mid 90s because of the financial blows from reputation loss and settlements.

Though I wouldnt be surprised if they try to bring it back via drone deliveries.

and the reason they stopped delivering within 30 minutes was cause it led to reckless driving and many, many, many traffic accidents and losses of life.

Yeah, but I’d rather have a Windows Laptop than a Razer…Anything, really.

They are a shit company with shit quality hardware. At least windows can be reformated, but you cant fix Razer quality.

I wish it wasnt that way, Things should not just be repairable, they should be affordably repairable, because thats a major step towards dealing with a disposable society.

and lets face it, by the time its out of warranty and old enough to need any kind of easy repair… the replacement parts are probably gonna cost as much as a newer, much more up to date laptop from another company.

Which is inherently the problem with repair ability in general.

I run into the same problem with cellphones… I could replace the battery in mine and run it for another 6 years, or I could get a much newer (used) phone for the same price, and end up with a almost 100% new battery AND much better hardware.

but parts will never be made cheap enough to be reasonable and affordable, because people will just buy the parts and assemble the product themselves. So parts have to be at least as expensive as buying the new thing, if not more expensive, to discourage the act itself.

Who would have thought a more expensive, more premium product would have a hard time finding customers during a time when people are struggling to pay bills and cant even afford the non-existent dollar menu at mcdonalds anymore.

before long people are gonna want to buy nothing but used 70s and 80s carbuerated shitboxes just to avoid all this shit.

10 bucks says all this data is being fed back to insurance companies.

Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years

You heard it here, Folks.

No more making fun of conservatives hiding behind masks. Velvets tired of the comments.

Isnt that basically enterprise?

It was my understanding enterprise edition stripped out all that bullshit.

That was so perfectly executed by him that it made me try to squeeze down on an imaginary controller in frustration.

I would think solar would be even more efficient high up in mountains.

Colder temperatures mean they’d stay cooler, produce more power, and for longer… and they are higher up in the air, so amount of photons hitting the panels has to be higher than at sea level, too, further increasing power generation.

At least thats what I’d assume, applying some common sense and a little educated guessing.

Wish someone would just overnight install a vast solar array on my roof. I’d love getting money from the power company every month, instead of giving it to them.

Thats bullshit.

Gamestop killed physical stores. They bought out who they could, and did everything they could to crush the rest and push them out of business, until nothing but gamestop was left. and gamestop is an awful fucking company.

So, of course, perpetually online idiots decided to worship it and turn it into a meme stock that brought in unfathomable amounts of undeserved money.

edit: i’m stupid, i dont know how i ended up on a year old post.

This is the second or third time that “discs are going away forever”

Yes, thats my point.

You have maybe a year, if you’re lucky, on a flash drive… and very few’d probably make it that far, and the ones that did would be egregiously expensive.

on optical media you have time that can be measured in decades, possibly even a century if proper storage practices are used.

That is a significant difference in stability
