Of course the narrator is unreliable. The whole narrative is nuts. When I read it I tried to imagine the sort of person who puts the emphasis that what they needed to clear up was that they went to a school for the gifted, not the disturbed navigating each and every one of those scenes. In my mind's eye it got incredibly close to the character of Ignatius Riley throughout. That might have been deliberate, but then you're dealing with someone who doesn't realize Ignatius was a joke throughout. The character telling the "wrongly convicted story" comes across as someone with HFA and Narcissism navigating the criminal justice system. eschaton posted:get yourself an amber VT420 to use as a posting station This is tempting. Do you know is DEC was putting the strontium and stuff in the glass to block x-rays at this point? They ever figure out the whole x-rays and CRT thing?

Nick Smith is sick of Florida and is in the process of moving to Oregon. He has routes prepared where he can camp out or sleep at friends’ since he can’t stay in motels for reasons. He just hopes that mask go away or that he can find a job where he won’t have to wear one or be around masked people. He’s staying sane a safe as good as he can.

 those SIMM stackers so you could take 4 slow-rear end 30-pin SIMMs and plug them into a 72-pin slot. DRAM was like $100/MB back then so I get it.

back on funy tech poo poo, the junk fax thing ruled. he just had a fax machine at his home office and kept getting junk faxes on it, worse than email spam since its actually using your own paper/toner to give you a bullshit ad in practice it was other domestic companies doing it so at some point he realized it wouldn't be that hard to just start suing the small number of spammers individually and get payouts to everyone that had been spammed by them

a classic fax dos was to print out 3-4 completely black pages, tape them end to end in a loop, and call a fax machine owned by someone you didn't like to waste their paper and toner.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:pandemic did get me one of the actually good cintiqs, been a huge help even being back to in-person now. Nah a cintiq is a “pen display” or a “drawing tablet.” I’m talking about this garbage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_whiteboard Literally just a whiteboard with a lovely attached projector and some kind of terrible touch detection marker. (Like some of the cheaper ones would use ultrasonic sensors to try to triangulate the location of the touch like it was the SNES power glove). It looks like now-a-days the more “high end” manufacturers like SmartBoard have turned to selling what are effectively 55” android tablets.
