I know, right. . . Now that’s real hacking!

Nearly there!

Ah, the good old days when we could gather in a mob and throw turds at criminals in the town centre. Might work, actually.

Sounds like the tagline for a really crap movie. How far we’ve fallen from two people on one keyboard.

If there’s any kind of catastrophe, people are going to want the resources inside these things. They’re not going to destroy the bunkers, just their occupants. Yeah, gas would do the trick. I’d suggest starting with CS, just to send a message.

If you’re in America, I think this makes you a terrorist.

Someone round my way has a Capri, I’ve seen it driving around a few times. Looks like early 80s, I have no idea how they’ve managed to keep that fucker alive. Actually looks in pretty good condition too.

Yeah, I have a steam deck and I’ve used the desktop a few times, just to check stuff out, but I very easily could have overlooked it completely. It’s perfectly possible for a linux computer to be as easy to use as a console.

The money might go away!

Seems to me that maintenance would be significant.

Honestly, if there are jobs that could best be replaced by AI, it seems that management could be high on that list. I’m sure many of us have had shitty managers and know how disastrous that can be for productivity. In some cases an algorithm would definitely have done better. It could hardly have done worse.

Nah, not really. Would be nice to see more people on the smaller subs, but that’ll happen slowly.

I mean, it would bring global tech to a standstill. It would be a significant problem. Once existing stuff broke, there would be no replacement. I know very little about chip manufacture, except that the lithography machines are fantastically complex and costly. It would probably take years to spin up new production.

This seems like a pretty solid mutually assured destruction deterrent and doesn’t even involve nukes.

Yeah, you have to make much more than you need and sell the excess to keep per unit costs down. At that point you’re a chip manufacturer. I’m not sure even valve could afford the startup costs involved.

Yeah, kinda shows there’s zero competition in the market.

Lol, and YouTube is full of shorts of those same people drowning their truck on a boat ramp.

This is true, but there’s also a real lack of small pickups on the market. The fuckers just seem to be getting bigger and bigger. I used to have a Proton Jumbuck and it was really useful. Used it a lot for hauling wood and soil, it was small enough to get around and park easily in the city. I got rid of it eventually because it was so hard to find parts, shame, it was a handy little machine.

Yeah, me too. But I find not getting really hammered achieves a similar thing. I’m working on that.

Fair. Thing is, Microsoft are changing windows anyway, what with all the unwanted features they’re integrating.

Not entirely. It’s an android so it does have the play store, but only about a dozen apps are allowed to be installed. I can’t even install what 3 words, which my work uses constantly. Also I’d like to install the Google swipe keyboard, cos the Microsoft one is shit.

Basically, the combination of a device that’s locked down hard and it only allowing MS products makes my work slower and harder than it needs to be.
