No, I wrote youngest instead of oldest. And you’re the first person to both catch it and comment. Added an edit :)

To be fair, Millennials tend to forget us Gen-Xers exist almost as much as the Boomers do. The crazy thing these days though is that outspoken millennials still think of Boomers as being anyone over the age of 40. The youngest boomer is 60 this year. The youngest millennial is 40.

[edit]. I thought “surely I couldn’t have written ’youngest millennial’ — and there it is. Oldest. Oldest millennial.”

That’s my point. The post could easily apply to me and I’m not a young millennial, or a millennial at all. There’s no correlation.

Lots of things came earlier. I’m just trying to figure out what being a “young millennial” has to do with a preference for vs computer games. We gen-x-ers were playing PVP games before young millennials were born. Atari was a staple of our childhood. Nintendo multitap was a thing in 1985.

Agreed. BC pivoted to using US cloud services in 2020; it would make much more sense to spin up cloud hosting instances within the province.

Of course, while that would have avoided the Azure outage, it wouldn’t have done anything against the CrowdStrike issue.

The thing is, I really wish the Democrats had something like this. Not as a requirement, but as an available resource.

Actually, the first PVP game I played was NetTrek in 1990 — forgot about that one. We generally didn’t start calling them PVP games until 1993-ish.

I spent a lot of time on MUDs in the 90s too…. They generally had mobkill and PVP zones.

I don’t get this.

I was playing PVP games in 1993. On the Internet.

I played my first offline video game in 1983.

Most video games I play today are offline on my phone, with a few PVP games in the browser on my computer.

What does being a millennial have to do with any of that?

Will those same people blame Biden being incompetent for the outage when a bit more time has passed?

Because iCloud was a smashing success for Apple when they used this technique?

At least iOS and macOS don’t keep on asking you after you say no like Windows does though. At least not until you change something in your iCloud configuration.
