one time the navy had a public facing site with no auth that showed the location of all its warships on the same site there was a feature that allowed you to provision new .gov domains someone was dropping the link in various irc channels and i clicked it and closed that tab faster than any tab i've ever closed

I finally ask “ok, what changed in your house, or your neighborhood since this stopped working?”. “well, my basement did flood” “was your computer in the basement” “yeah” “did it get wet?” “yeah it was half submerged in the water” “well, I believe that may be your problem”  I invited her to the main office and gave her a replacement modem for free mostly to help future Jim Silly-Balls out Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Feb 22, 2020 |

Someone from Microsoft probably did try and make small talk with him in an elevator once and he probably did act like an absolute weirdo by saying he's "his worst nightmare"

Modems were pretty sick. You could just use a phone line and boom you're on the internet. Think about it, everybody has a phone line, and now they have internet and you didn't have to do poo poo except invent the modem.

remember when you could poo poo on a piece of paper and jam it into a fax machine and palm-slam the dial pad then bam! through the magic of modems that smeary poo poo is almost instantly sent to your local GP?

we still use faxes all the fuckin time and later this year laws come into effect that ban the transmission of prescriptions from faxes, well to be clearer they won’t be able to be used as a legal prescription anymore I don’t think they could ban that it happens altogether. the fax itself won’t go away, faxing is incredibly convenient for certain tasksrotor posted:i cant believe my posts are being rate-limited here in 2020 lmao

The big thing about faxing in healthcare is it is believed to be more secure than email, not because its really better or more efficient in any way
