Now you can slam the top of the machine to boot it up

I had to learn how to use that in the military, used to call it crashinal rose

Yeah I’ve had so many Chevy’s spoof me into thinking they were backing out of a parking spot only to realize they weren’t, infuriating

Given it’s a conagra brand, pretty sure there’s a nonzero amount of bug parts. At least it is bean free, so also less likely to be infused with rocks

That laugh still haunts me. Also the SAM application for text to speech which was pretty good for the era

Lincoln’s nice though I have found Omaha a little more affordable, same great purple people, same crappy state government

Oh man that unlocked a memory of some attempts I heard of voices through PC Speaker that weren’t bad but definitely weren’t great lol

Nice I couldn’t imagine playing music on my c64’s 1541 drive the thing made scary knocking noises when it worked properly!

How quickly we forget the chip tunes of the PC Speaker, I used it in a computer lab one day to play a nearly undetectable high freq wave using logo. The PC Speaker was a pretty flexible little speaker

Armatrons were pretty neat but I can definitely imagine why functional ones are nigh impossible to obtain, I would imagine all the plastic gearing inside either chipped away by careless use and worn down over years

Pretty sure in the late 80’s early 90’s it was on Fox kids broadcast tv

I’ve run into this twice, both times I’ve had to deal with Microsoft Support for around 2-3 hours to resolve, shitty for a paying customer.

I have a friend who has been moderately successful in the game creation space and he is saying he wants to just give up at this point because of this change.

The CenturyLink fiber plan is pretty nice, me and my brother in law are on it and it runs as advertised and I’ve had maybe 2 outages in the 3 years I’ve had it, unlike my previous provider where it would be like 1 per quarter

I think the origins of this was back at the inception of Android when the default keyboard didn’t have slide technology, so at that time I think it made reasonable sense that you could bring your own keyboard app, now that Gboard is full featured it probably wouldn’t hurt to lock it down, but it also depends on if every vendor doesn’t provide their own keyboard app that is horrible to use and sets that as the only keyboard option.

I am… The Law! It was great slightly cheesy fun. I enjoy both versions of dredd
