Most /g/ users are now too young to get this joke
>>108940818I can confirm
there are like three things that are possible to terminate:scsitoken ringtv antenna
>>108940818Honestly I hated this shit, there were always conflicts and one drive could not appear, especially CD burners. This is one thing I do not miss at all, SATA was so much better in every aspect.
>>108940818zoomer trannies love retro PCs THOUGH
>>108940818So many people were filtered by those jumper pins.
>>108943874Shit was enraging with cheap tweezers and twitchy hands. Glad that SATA took over shortly after I got into PC hardware.
>>108940818Right, there's 3 groups of ppl who dislike master/slave terminology in tech> those whose ancestors were enslaved> those who think it might hurt somebody's feelings> those who had to manage multiple ide drives
>>108940818lel
>>108943816All that squirrely shit, like when Plextor finally bit the bullet and started releasing IDE drives but they ran like shit if they were the secondary device. Good times.
>>108940848any RF transmission line can be terminatedand your mom AHAHAHA ASHD AISDhadasdasdh ia
>>108940818Now do SCSI on Micro Channel bus.
>>108940818it's cool blud.The joke relies on a bait-and-switch between human races and computer hardware terminology.The first part — “There are only 2 races, the master race (Germans) and the slave race (everyone else)” — imitates a racist/Nazi-style statement about a supposed “master race.” This is intentionally shocking and offensive.The punchline — “Unless of course you use cable select” — suddenly reveals that the speaker is talking as if the world were an old computer.In older IDE/PATA hard drive setups, two drives on the same cable had to be configured as:MasterSlaveOr, instead of manually choosing master/slave, you could set both drives to Cable Select (CS), where the cable position determines which drive acts as master or slave.So the joke is:You think it's making a statement about human racial hierarchy.The mention of cable select abruptly shifts the context to old computer hardware, where "master" and "slave" are technical device roles.The absurdity of applying hard-drive configuration options to human society is the punchline.It's essentially a nerd/computer joke that uses a racist-sounding setup and then resolves it with an unexpected reference to legacy PC hardware.
Most /g/ users are too young for a driver's permit. But they speak with the confidence of an F1 driver.
>>108944907I could have had a drivers license 7 years ago but I still haven't gone ahead and figured out how to go through the process to complete the necessary prerequisites, bureaucratic procedures, and tests and where to do so.
>>108944893hi there chat-/g/pt
>>108943825Are they using SCSI?
>>108944556i might seen vax
What I never got was why some CD drives had an audio output on the back and a freaking volume wheel on the front.
>>108940818>joke
I think this should clear things up.
>>108944932>the process to complete the necessary prerequisites, bureaucratic procedures, and tests and where to do so.There really should be a fairly realistic driver sim that they should install in DMVs for this kinda bullshit.Driving is the one of the few required skills in modern society that requires you to depend on someone and their vehicle. This could've been solved 30 years ago.
>>108946242it's solved in Europe>driving schools if you want a loicence>public transport if you don't
