I think you need to reread the chart. In 1989, handhelds barely registered and it appears console and arcade were neck and neck. I was a senior in high school/freshman in college then and the Gameboy was a blip at the time. I had C64 and Amiga back then (still have them!) and didn’t care...

My Spectrum internet has had lots of issues so I bought tmobile as a backup. The download speeds are fine but the upload speeds are pretty bad. Still, for the price, it can get the job done when Spectrum goes down.

I just bought a Unifi Dream Machine SE and a Unifi 6 Pro AP because I really need to restructure my network in order to get rid of my server. Finding the motivation to do it is super hard at this stage.

I’ve been doing IT work since grad school in the mid 90s. I’ve been a consultant most of the last 10 years at a senior architect level. Like another guy in this thread says, my career path has pretty much burned me out to the point where I don’t want to mess with system builds in my personal...

They do have chat, but they seem to have gone to great lengths to hide it. A few months ago, they sent me two 8 TB drives rather than the two 18 TB drives I ordered and due to a UPS mixup (and, admittedly, a mistake on my part in shipping), it was a nightmare to get the refunds and resulted in...

Around 20 years ago, I interviewed with a well-known supplier of tech products. I wasn’t necessarily unhappy with my job, but this job was much closer (less than 10 minutes from home) so I thought I’d give it a shot and see what they had to offer. Their HQ was in California (this facility was...

CEOs often work multiple jobs - Elon Musk, for example, is CEO of several companies. Most CEOs are on the boards of other companies too, which is a paying job. So, if it’s good for them, it’s good for their employees too. I just don't have the energy for that - too old and cranky. :) The...

I’ve worked from home for most of the last 10 years, with a couple of brief stints at companies where I would go into an office most of the time. I agree with most of the comments here. My thoughts: 1. For me, I need to be able to concentrate for long stretches without interruptions. WFH is...

I just stocked up on some filament. I didn’t see any great deals on resin unfortunately.

My 3080 is fine for a few more years.

I think my 48G is dead. I found another guy who fixes them and spoke with him and he thinks it is unlikely it is just the keyboard since the “push the bezel down” trick isn’t working. I’d be willing to buy another but I’m sure most 48G calcs out there are on the verge of needing repair. I...

Loved HP calculators. In engineering school, I loaned my HP 28S to a friend and he “lost it,” so it was replaced by an HP 48G. I still have the 48G but it has an annoying issue that seems to doom most of them - apparently some rubber parts inside the calculator decay and eventually you can’t...

TI calcs? Back when I was in engineering school, we used HP scientific calcs! {insert old man waving fist at clouds GIF}. HP was pretty much a standard - first the 28s and then the 48G line. I don’t think I remember seeing any TI calcs. Casio graphing calcs were newish back then and this...

I decided not to order it - I just can’t justify it and I found the page which shows which games in your library are compatible, somewhat compatible, and not compatible at all. That sealed the deal.

Got my notification yesterday for the 512 GB model but am not sure I'm going to order it. It's hard for me to justify it at this stage. A couple of months after I put in my reservation, I got a Lenovo Legion 7 with a 3080 for gaming and 3D work. Plus, my gaming has gone way down. Does...
