carry on then posted:i honestly have no idea how i would even be productive programming on like a mac se/30 you’d be surprised just how zippy system 6 is on a 16MHz 68030, especially with 8MB or more RAM you just need to actually use multiple overlapping windows instead of digging in your heels and insisting on tiling or keyboard equivalents or immediately zooming all windows to fullscreen

and if you install A/UX 2.0 you can upgrade that SE/30 to 128MB of RAM and actually use it when running Mac applications, at least those that both work with 32-bit addressing and run on System 6 (which included a lot of developer tools)

You could use a modem and connect to the "online" of the day. There are still dial in unix shell services out there, so with a terminal emulator, there's a way. Not going to lie. I still use dial up for the hell of it sometimes. My parents have POTS service and I watch their cats when they vacation. I take my last dial up modem over there and dial in to BBS that are still up. Or at least I did. My parents got rid of their long distance the last time I used it. Edit: My dad has free POTS dial tone for life at his address as an AT&T retiree. It was in the contract he started under back in... 1970 something.

How does this work with the phone companies ripping out copper lines? Thread content: the last time I was apartment hunting, I faxed in rental applications using my old USR 56k external connected through a Vonage connection. It took 45 minutes or so per page  .

Skinnymansbeerbelly posted:How does this work with the phone companies ripping out copper lines? The house is one block away from the CO. They can't get uverse because it's too close, and AT&T doesn't sell faster internet out of the COs so resellers can't offer them. Here it's less they're ripping them out and more they're refusing start up service. When there aren't any clients left on a cable they cut the trunk off. My dad got the joy of malicious compliance when he tried to tell a new second level that the engineers were wrong, there were still 500 lines on this trunk. He was told to cut it and he did. I asked him and he said he'd probably have trouble if he changed his address. My guess is they'd offer him an apology and a $500 check as a settlement for being unable to uphold the contract. He'd just transfer the number to a cellphone he left in the house probably. There are still air blown, paper insulated cables in service. My dad is mostly doing air crew stuff while waiting for the paper work for a medical retirement. The phone company has some extremely long term contracts and obligations so they'll have to figure out a 100% compatible alternative - including power from the CO to stop using copper completely.

i don't get the sense that celebrities really "live in" their houses anyway. they all have like 5 different houses, they're always traveling and staying in hotels on top of that, they buy and sell houses on whims, and even when they are at their main house they hire people to do everything from cooking to picking the furniture. it might as well just be another hotel suite. and they're all indistinguishable from one another too. if you walked in the door of one of these places and someone asked "okay, is this drake's house, kylie jenner's house, or lebron james' house?" would you be able to figure it out?    nothing that suggests a unique human with personal tastes lives here. lebron / drake / kylie

I was close enough to the exchange that I was (copper) wired to it directly instead of a local cabinet and for some obscure UK reason, it was not allowed to put the new generation DSL hardware inside an exchange so I was stuck with an old sub 10mpbs connection. the clearly very difficult to imagine idea of "just rewire me to a cabinet" was beyond BT, in the end I just moved house.

My heart tells me the "obscure UK reason" was AT&T had made the manufacture add a warning "for outside use only" to keep US telecom resellers from suing about the no CO thing.
