Imagine your oven or clothes iron turning itself on while you’re not home. Why TF people just accept their computers doing this is beyond me. Either it’s a boiling frog situation, or people simply don’t remember the times us users had complete control over our devices and think things were always this way.
As an 80s/90s kid, I can tell you they most definitely were not.
Well…yes?
Like living in a house constantly undergoing a remodel. Sometimes the plumber is going to accidently route the toilet drain pipe to the shower head before the inspector gets there to check it.
If something is popular, that does not automatically mean it is good. You are probably aware of how collectively stupid we can be as a species.
It’s definitely a Mac. I remember that case from middle school. Apple computers were huge in education in the 80s/90s. It was their staple cash cow back then before Jobs came back and they started chasing Starbucks-guzzling hipsters.
Yep. If you want a real computer instead of a cheap-ass disposable office machine, be prepared to spend quite a bit of money. That was a fact 20 years ago and is still true now. We had crappy sub-$500 E-machines and Gateway PCs in those days too.
I’m a millennial but I didn’t own my own PC until I was like 21 (even then, half the parts in it were handmedowns from my Dad). I would have never been able to afford a laptop of the time. Computers are an expensive purchase all at once. Phones come with subsidized plans. That’s probably why you see a lot more bias towards them.
VI is life
If you don’t have one to begin with, sure, I guess. For everyone else, there’s Nano.

There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about…
We got a phony over 'ere.
😭 You’re right even my avatar is AI generated 'cause my broke ass can’t afford commissions and I can’t draw anything worth a shit.
No. Where’s the guy wearing furry ears, tail, and programming socks?
The janky cobbled-together UIs straight out of 1994 are part of the charm!

Is this just some sort of alias to “runas”?
Dude. You can make that shit look like Amiga if you want. Whatever floats your boat.
It’s one of the init systems of all time.

Windows has no idea of the state of the hardware it’s running on. Someone could be using a janky molex to sata power adapter, which are known to catch fire and only uses it when someone is present. Or a cheap-ass wish.com power supply with exploding capacitors.
