Some of the reactions to the original iPhone announcement in 2007, compiled from an old web forum.What were your thoughts when Jobs announced the Civilization Destroyer 9000?
>>106977586people back then are the same as people now everyone just hates apple for literally no reason anyway I was only 2 then so I didnt have any thoughts about it
>>106977586>too tiny for websurfing>too space-constrained for a video player>looks awfully fragile>is this a touchscreen :(All true, even to this day
>>106978344Decent bait lol

Ordered pic related off Ali and got it after a month but the screen won't turn on. It charges and charges other electronics but nothing on the screen. I wonder if I'll get the runaround with a refund but luckily I paid with Amex and they're usually good about chargebacks.
What are the concequences of the AI bubble popping?
Massive layoffs in the tech industry.The cost of cloud computing will skyrocket and will lead to a more cost-effective web, pretty much a reboot of Web 2.0.
>>106976877>I doubt you'd even noticeBruh.Remember when Kikeberg hired an incompetent game developer to create Second Life 2 and spent the GDP of Africa on that shitty game, and when they launched it, it flopped so hard that they had to fire about 40% of the company to avoid going bankrupt, and every Fortune 500 company kicked a bunch of people just in case, marking the end of the golden age for programmers?This was FUCKING NOTHING compared to what is to come.
>>106978145ya the more you look into it the more fucked things get, arent GPU vendors are paying companies to build datacenters right now. theres like some circular shell game going on with funding for AI.
>>106977777Checked
>>106978272It's just trade washing at this point.
Actually fonts have a lot of science that go into them, they're quire incredible.Berkely Mono - Amazing (Pay to win)Consolas - Best(Free)Verdana - Best(Free)Edges are easier to perceive to humans, so fonts are designed with this in mind.Fonts actually store the method that was used to draw the character so it can be resized *precisely*.A regular resize function doesn't work so well.A lot of tech and science goes into these.

If someone changed my fonts I wouldn't realize it because I'm not gay
>>106978013... aaaand fatbox is down (sorry Onion users).Change f to c in fatbox to get file.
>>106977990Just use any of the million free fixed-width fonts that are available online.
Since youtube shorts and ADHD slop bullshit is a hot topic nowadays, I notice the same trend with chatrooms and even communication. Discord is the worst offender of this with how its now the new "community hub" for a lot of fandoms and fanbases, but you are forced to try and be in a conversation with 50 people talking over eachother at high speeds. Unfortunately this is the most popular thing now.With forums, you can at least take your time to read posts and put together thought out responses, but some communities have completely abandoned forums in favor of this high speed bullshit.
enshitification is the word that describes what you are talking about. discord has always been this way and hight traffic irc was pretty chaotic as well. discord, teamspeak and other chats are mainly for small friend groups or private 1 on 1s. people just made high cap servers and retards filled them because some information on whatever interests you is on "official" discord servers. on the flip side, reddit has the right idea with hobby forums in one place but the absolute worst attention seeking behavior is encouraged. it's the reason why any of us are in this shit hole but it's much harder to find good info across threads and boards. old style forums simply don't have enough traffic anymore because of social media takeover in general but even back then it was very slow to see replies in niche interests.tldr, there is no perfect template for online communication
>>106977249discord SUCKS COCKit's got less fucking post persistence than twittereverything just scrolls out of view into a pit of doom in a few seconds or minutes tops, the website is so fucking assGOOOD LORD I FUCKING MISS FORUMS, reddit fucking ruined everythingCan't have an interesting comment section on reddit because it's sorted by updoots, so of course the most common/agreed on opinions will always get the most upboots just because the most people agree with them, literally who the fuck thought it a good idea to sort discussion by votes? what the fuck??and yet nearly all the communities moved to fucking reddit and now also discordAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUUUUCK FUCK FUCK WHY CANT WE HAVE FORUMS
Is the creator tranny or why did it spread like covid so quickly?
>>106969433Is the mascot supposed to be a trans or are people's clitties leaking because they don't like anime?
>>106977875yes he is called anubis
>>106978186Let me rephrase this. Does "he" have a penis and am I gay for nutting to "him"?
>>106972556Yep. They should remove the mascot solely because of the pedoscum.Fuck trannies and fuck pedos.
Why is /g/ obsessed with trannies?

>>106978077do they start at the beginning of November? Black Friday is late this year
>>106978128yeah start checking deals near the end of oct, often they will start near that time or very early nov.
>>106978128Some stores will offer holiday price protection; those are safe to buy.

>>106978072>portrait orientationmy good monitor is a 27" normal 1440p. but it has good color depth and is 144hz so i use it for gaming and such.the one i got from work is a 34" ultrawide 1440p.i mean i COULD put it vertical but it's mad huge. it'd be like pic related.i think stacking them is my only option really.
>>106978182didn't seem so huge in the image but i suppose your right, i just know from experience having monitors like that is quite nice as you can have different ones for different purposes.of course you could toss in a 3rd normal size monitor and stack those and still have the ultrawide on the side, would form a square or about then.
>>106977767how do you turn the laptops on? if i put mine to sleep it sometimes doesn't turn back on when i click the mouse or press the keyboard

Is this literally the best distro?
fecal fossa was the best.ubuntu distros are ranked by default wallpaper and the cat was numero uno in my book
>>106974186This. Any distro with Uboonga as base crashes, so I avoid it like the black death.
>>106969156It "just werked" until it was intentionally sabotaged with shit no one wants like snapdebian just werkz tho
>>106977713brown ubuntu best ubuntu. 7.10 i think was the version that had all the rage inducing standard user directries which started the downfall.
>>106977713It's conceptually involved for not much payoff.
who the fuck is monitoring my pc?
This is microsoft we are monitoring your PC and we have found virus. It is very scary but if you follow my instructions we can fix the virus.

why is it used so often for cp distribution?
how do you know?
>>106978193Any online service that's run by one person or a small group will be spammed with cp by the FBI until it gets taken down.

>>106978412thats the pointso much cp on therepicrel is cp server with like more than 10gb
What can realistically be done about this?
You can just use Opera which is the best one and stop thinking about it. 99% of people don't even understand the concept of there being multiple browsers, they just use whatever comes installed on whatever the hardware is. Except Edge.
>>106969965>Ladybirdno iso
Ahemhttps://apps.gnome.org/Epiphany/
>>106969951if im being extremely pragmatic, why would people make new browser engines when there are already pre-made ones on the market? i mean do you know how much work is required to make and maintain a browser engine? it's the same reason why people don't go remaking the linux kernel all the time
>>106969951counterpoint
does windows want to kyc you to do security updates?
Why would someone want Microsoft Windows Updates, let alone pay for them.Yay I like my computer randomly downloading background shit and threatening to reboot randomly every month.Oops something broke or got reset fuck you user lol
>>106978282Those who give up essential digital security for a little bit of rice, deserve neither.
>>106978298>Why would someone want Microsoft Windows Updates, let alone pay for them.normies are pressured into it by red exclamation marks and red letters with threats about malware etc
>>106978311yeah no, I am not putting up with stone age experience for the illusion of security and anonymity
>>106978324You anti-secure software shills are getting craftier...
