Shhh… That’s the part you never mention loudly. Just wait until all our mainboards rise on judgement day.

Don’t know how cute they think we are… Then again, I don’t know if they even know that concept of “cuteness” or if they just always want to eat stuff they find nice.

So, I know it’s an old take to laugh at people that don’t know x that older people took for granted. The idea here was rather to give it a more respectful spin. Nobody’s ridiculed here. It’s supposed to give it this point of view of the older guy that doesn’t make fun of the younger ones but just reminds them that they’ll be in the same shoes eventually, with stuff that they took for granted fading into obscurity. You know, taking a more humble stance, without being condescending.

On another note, the save icon going away might have something to do with programs just writing everything to storage anytime ASAP so the whole idea of writing to disk just disappears. Don’t know if I like that workflow though, I’m too used to saving my work.

I have vivid memories of my Win 95 computer that came preinstalled. I had to buy a bunch of empty floppies and spend what felt like an eternity just inserting it one after another so I would get my set of Windows installation disks.

I had CSI in mind, but that Red Dwarf scene fits even better.

I heard that story, too… When I started studying. That was almost 20 years ago. I’d have assumed they had moved on until now if that hadn’t been an urban myth in the first place.
