I just remembered Yo. Looks like it shutdown back in 2016. What a stupid idea and yet it raised millions of dollars. I don't get VC people.

I don't get VC people. they sell wealthy people the idea of throwing some pocket change at a whiz kid and owning 10% of a huge company and being able to brag to their yacht club frenemies that they got in on the ground floor

an app that would let you chose from 1 out of 1 push notifications to send to your friend. Which subsequently branched out into delivering incoming missile alerts in Israel

"so first of all i love the idea. just say 'yo'! so simple. but could we make it say other things? like 'hi' or 'love'?" *everyone in the boardroom looks at him like he suggested they gently caress a pig*

I love that people saw a thing that cost a thousand bucks in a store, bought it "to see what would happen", and were then surprised when they ended up buying the thing for a thousand bucks from the store that was selling it.

computer lifetimes are a lot longer in 2020 than they were back in 2000 though. 3 years is not old even in a lot of professional contexts.

2012 Ivy Bridge is still good enough for games, all I had to upgrade to stay current was the gfx card and adding an M.2 drive bay in the second PCI-E slot. Gonna get a few more years out of it for sure

I think the thing that blows my mind a bit is how cheap ssd storage got. I have a 64gb ssd on my desk that I used as an os drive in 2007 and I need to get rid of, and a stack of hdds that got rendered completely obsolete. One has a post it not saying "windows vista" on it lol. I think the last hdd I used I got annoyed with the spin up noise of and just stuck another 1tb ssd in to replace it.

One has a post it not saying "windows vista" on it lol. yeah, ssd in everything for the os, apps and swap has been the biggest improvement to the pc since what? the first 3d video cards? just a real game changer i do kind of miss just buying a new drive twice the size of the old one for less money once it got full. we were pretty spoiled for a while there in cost/capacity improvements until the tsunami in thailand i think i might have posted this in this thread before, but a favourite tech relic of mine is the naive thought 'holy poo poo, this drive's so big i'm never going to fill it', thought of a 30GB deskstar when I still had a loving bigfoot installed in my desktop still worked the last time i gave it power tbf, the deskstar not so much. also, holy poo poo raptors, i wonder how long it's been since i thought of them Agile Vector posted:yeah, if my old cpu didnt fry in may id still be using my i5 2500k, a 9 year old chip, to play 2020 games with only modest slider changes. the longevity of any decent cpu is so much better now an overclocked e4300 c2d hung in there for more than a decade for me. it's nuts.
