gently caress I hate to be all “they don’t make them like they used to”, but drat that’s some fine animation. modern animation is a vehicle for dialogue or whatever, whereas this animation exists for its own sake. it’s proper entertaining to watch

from the blurb it's clearly a porn video library

it has two features:
1. download internet videos from any site so you can watch them offline
2. password protect your internet videos so that no-one can look at your internet videos

this is a pretty good idea tbh

At college, the IT people were loathe to change anyone's username unless there was a very strong reason to do it. Your username was chosen by you, an idiot 18 year old children who wants to get blackout drunk for the first time away from home, and barring something near the level of a legal name change that's the username you kept the whole time. This is why I received a very polite email from fuckshit@university.edu complimenting me on my help in the computer lab. I got to have a fun conversation with the lab manager about wait what how the gently caress do you keep that username, let alone get it??

In retrospect I absolutely should have picked something like dickballs@. Ah well.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
VAX has a POLY instruction

settle down ecchi, not that kind of poly

it evaluates polynomials

because when I think “CPU-level floating point instructions” I think “evaluate arbitrary polynomials”

the only reason that phone was even cool was the sound design in the movie. they made it sound like a bolt racking in a gun and obviously there is no way the actual *plastic* phone designed for meemaw to call the grandkids actually sounded like that.

yep, wasn't even spring loaded on the actual handset in the movie (they modified that 8110) but the not quite lookalike 7110 that was sold in the us had a spring.

the 8110 was rereleased a few years ago in the uk and thailand as a kai os 4g smartphone.

I had a 7160 (GSM / Cingular version) and I don’t remember a spring but I do remember T9 and being able to text like a mofo.

also the slide/extension thing meant the model had 3 different boards that all had to be lined up. not great for a phone that was under a lot of mechanical stress
