I haven’t used iPods for like 25 years now, but I always liked that you could instantaneously switch songs, and on modern streaming apps I sometimes need to wait for like a second, because it does god knows what in the meantime.

Git is so ready to understand, that I don’t understand how people work without it.

I am 29 and I already have minuscule hearing loss (if results of the last hearing test were factual), and I don’t really listen to music/podcasts on headphones that much either.

I am also one of these people who still has regular PC speakers instead of gaming headsets or whatever.

I have been playing video games for like 25 years already, and I have no clue. Whenever I see it, I am less inclined to purchase the game though.

It literally does what you told it to. It also has nothing to do with AI.

No wonder open source software becomes more efficient than proprietary one.

Yeah, I had one of these cheap retro handhelds, but I lost it somehow. I have been thinking about getting another one, but for now I am either using 3DS or RetroArch on my smartphone.

I have modded by 3DS, so I can play any GBA, DS, 3DS games or any emulator for old systems (like GB/GBC, NES). The worst though is that the scaling of DS games sucks on 3DS screens, so I might actually get a DS Lite or DSi XL in the future just because of this.

I had a Nokia phone (6070?) that had some kind of walkie-talkie-like function, but I never figured out what it did.

Edit: Apparently it’s called Push-to-Talk, and it uses PTT service, whatever that is.

You can get a controller for any smartphone out there. Also RPG’s play fine with touch controls, that’s how I played Pokémon games with no issues.

You could probably use RetroArch for nearly every system out there, including MAME core which could itself probably even emulate your smart fridge in the future, given enough time for developers.

That’s why I bought a 3DS :)

Also somebody had a bright idea to disable the flashlight in Android after battery drops to low percentages. I was very angry one day, when I walked through forest, and I needed to do it in complete darkness.

What fucking 4 year old takes bath on his own? That’s just asking for a disaster.

I might not touch Harry Potter movie or book ever again at that point.

Transatlantic Union go!

Windows 8.1 was amazingly good, simple and fast, if you ignored whole Metro thing. You could also install 3rd party start menu alternative, if you needed it.

As for later Windows versions 7 and 8.1 were pretty stable and lightweight. It was only in the later versions of Windows 10 when it became filled with ads and some stupid bloatware.

Earlier Windows 2000 and XP were of course also amazingly well made and even lighter, but weren’t exactly as stable.
