I miss when technology was limited to the living room and couldn't hurt me
Our communal PC was in a cold basement with concrete floor. My Dad worked in IT so he'd take hardware slated for destruction and give it to us, in secret and we'd hide it under our beds because my mom hated the idea of us having online access that she couldnt monitorEvery time she found a laptop she'd chuck it down the stairs but they were thinkpads so they usually still worked but she had to have chucked thinkpads down a flight of stairs at least a dozen times. Eventually my Dad brought home a panasonic toughbook and my mom just gave up at that point

This is the infancy stage of internet control, mass data centers are going to store everything from your photos, history & cached images from the pages you visit while taking live screenshots/videos of on screen activity.
>I miss whenOH MY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP LIVING IN THE PAST NOBODY GIVES A FUCK
>>107715629Schizo. They can't get rid of local accounts there would always be a bypass even china cant fully do that. Theyd have to force every computer part manufactorer to put back door chips in and theyre not all going to agree with it other then intel cuz they get subsidized and bail outs
