kitten smoothie posted:it was the summer before my senior year when my college replaced the 10Mbps dorm hubs with 100Mbps switches All this talk about hubs, and nothing about direct connect hubs. The socks proxy thing was something I did too and oh my gosh, 100Mbit was very nice BW!

my macbook was named after the katamari damacy creator's games. unfortunately, this had real-world collisions with other people so my macbook kept renaming itself.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I had E1M1.mid as my ringtone on all my old Nokia phones (I was that nerd who splashed out for the PC cable). a bit more games than yospos but this reminded me of forza horizon 5's allowance of e1m1 as a car horn. and there are variants. ok so maybe that's not funny, but the cruelest horn is the microsoft teams calling horn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs8DrMuBZUA expressly designed to coerce a pavlovian panic response. you know how certain sounds can make some cats and dogs freak out? freak out spouses or fellow players who use ms teams. crazysim fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Feb 22, 2022 |

funy tech poo poo remembered: the wild overbuilding of the original ps3. 4 usb ports, memory stick reder , sd card reader, compact flash readers, a whole hardware ps2 built in, linux support. and an underbuilding of no rumble in the controller due to a lawsuit.

there is a microsoft teams phone call notification horn choice in forza horizon 5. in a tight battle for places? hold the horn button and there's a non zero chance your opponent will stop steering or disconnect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs8DrMuBZUA

Sagebrush posted:those amazon buttons with like the tide logo on them that connected to wifi. you wre supposed to stick one on your washer and when you ran out of laundry detergent you'd press it and it would auto order the associated product. you can get them for trojan condoms too. utilization unknown but probably similar to the rest!

crazysim posted:reminds me of how some devious bastard put the microsoft teams meeting horn into forza horizon. of which since we're talking installers stuff, this now reminds me that for certain games, microsoft is trying to do snaps-like stuff and for some games off their store, it mounts "Xbox Virtual Disk" images which that then get mounted/launched in windows. forza is one of those. a very very different animal from the very granular partially install this or that windows installer things that was demonstrated with office that was mentioned.

Silver Alicorn posted:the Opera browser for the Nintendo DS that you needed a RAM cart for it's hilarious that browsers are being cut back in consoles now. The PS3/PS4/WiiU had one but in the next generation, the PS5/Switch don't have general purpose internet browsers anymore. no demand, because well, smartphones and more importantly, just an open vector for remote jailbreak exploits. i think the xbox still has theirs but it's more because they're doing security right and more or less a holdover from being introduced in the PS4 era. they even transitioned to chromium/edgium.
