It’s like they don’t want anyone to use the product. And just bleed the customers that can’t quickly migrate to something else.

Insane

A good isp would give you something bigger than a /64 - /56 or /48. something that you can subnet.

Because you don’t really own the product. You get a license to use it with some major caveats - Including no modification/reverse engineering etc.

Lack of security updates would be a big one. With Android products that has been my most common reason to switch. With Apple, its usually battery and/or wear & tear.

The voice really… fucking hell!

Quick! Let’s name a social network after it!

I got on the Amiga train in 1990 instead. BBS and early internet!

I was lucky. Born in the last gen-x year and with parents in the upper middle-class in a western country. I could save up to whatever console and game I wanted but yeah, I never did play any sega consoles and I never did own a c64. But I did get my feet wet with some c64 games as I had friends who had it.

I’m glad I grew up with these games. Todays games, while superior or pretty much every way, all seem to lack “something”. There are exceptions of course. Games like dead red redemption 2 are something else!

Yeah Super Metroid was as awesome as you can imagine as a 14 year old!

I played it a LOT on my Amiga. My cracked version had a, let’s say, “interesting” crack intro.

Cool, found it on YouTube. It’s sort of NSFW: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wG84cj4rago

My old Roomba is getting quite old and I was thinking of replacing it. No idea with what - but I know it won’t be an Amazon product. What other brands are somewhat known for quality?

I will always associate that name with Nuclear holocaust.

Quite fitting

Feels good, right?

Emergency crash-cart for retro gaming. You are my kind of person!
