For a time after its launch in I think 1997 people were calling Total Annihilation the greatest RTS and maybe the greatest game of all time. I wish the RTS community wouldn't shit so hard on any game that isn't StarCraft.

In 1996 I got online for the first time with dial up, it creeped my mother out "why do people talk to each other over the computer why can't they use the phone?" lol

My degree is in Psychology and I worked in the mental health field for years before switching to IT full time. The system is broken in many ways. Basically both Republican and Democrat parties fund the absolute federal bare minimums. In those jobs you are supposed to document every last minute of your 9/5 job and if you can't prove you are active 75% of the time("productivity rating") your ass is out of the door. My current IT job where I keep a business making millions of dollars running I don't have to justify my time at all.

I'm so glad I don't work in mental health anymore. Driving people out of the industry is a goal of the regulations IMO.

No sorry, I did about 5 years ago.

I was wondering the same. Just anecdotal but Frogbot was the best for me, it could rocket jump in all the right places in Clan Arena.

I have a 2016 Acer Predator I use for work. I replaced the thermal compound with liquid metal. Dropped the temps 25c and I have had no issue with it, it is on generation behind being able to run Windows 11 but still.

I started my CS degree in 2000, I heard the same, companies would rather fly someone from India over then hire you. Also my CS advisor said "Java will be the only language anyone uses in 20 years"

I was told when I majored in CS in year 2000 that "in 20 years Java will be the only language" and also "it will impossible for an American to get a job as they will be hiring all of their programmers from India"

No lie my first job out of college expected you to eat at your desk and not leave for your lunch break.

I got a ZIP drive like a year before I got a CD burner so it didn't have a very long lifespan. I wish I still had it so I could hook it up and see what I put on the discs.

>using polar coordinates for clipping comes to mind

Wonder how he would do it in 2021. Also GLDoom was a project that started off of this but the source code was lost for 20 years due to a hard drive failure.

I was super hyped for Overwatch, I loved my time with the beta. I thought Overwatch was going to be the new Counter-Strike, Quake, or Halo. One of those games that just defines its time period.

Then it launched and I got bored after 1 month. Too few maps too few variety.

If you sold two companies for 9 figures why are you concerned about paying $40 for parking?

I'm old and I liked Source when it dropped. I never understood all the hate.

>spoiled by FF+uBlock and I can't tolerate all the distractions.

I run FF+uBlock on my S21 Ultra. Works just like the desktop.

There is a ton of info about the church that isn't widely known in Mormon circles. The CES letter does a good job covering tons of it https://www.cesletter.org

I repasted my Acer Predator laptop with liquid metal. It went from 80c idle 95c load to 65-70c idle and 75c load.

When I first turned it on I thought I hadn't plugged the fans back in all the way because it was so quiet. Fans didn't kick on till I was in Windows and it was loading apps, even then it was way quieter. Liquid metal is a game changer for certain computers.

Years ago I setup a doctors office to use Pidgin with the Bonjour protocol for local IMs that wouldn't go over the internet. Worked well. Free too.

That is how I felt about the imdb forums and also ftp.cdrom.com. I was huge into Doom and Quake in the mid-late 90s and I used to get a ton of files from ftp.cdrom.com.

All the WAD hosting went to places like doomworld and one day they announced it was shutting down and I realized I hadn't been on it in 5+ years.

I downloaded many Doom WADs from ftp.cdrom.com

>Tucows was a huge part of my childhood from 10 to 18 years old.

Same. One of the first places I downloaded software in the mid 1990s

>There are drugs that, if you use them, you should be encouraged not to.

Yes but how does throwing someone in jail and giving them a felony record thus destroying their life help?

Try Musicbee. It "just works" no complicated setup. I switched too it from Winamp/Foobar

I use this to stream to YouTube and Twitch at the same time. It works well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again no matter how many times people say I'm "ignorant" and "read the source code". Tor is not secure. At all.

Every single drug dealing and child porn site gets taken over by the government. In court judges have demanded the government reveal the methods they used to bust these people and they will drop the charges rather then reveal how they are getting their IP.

Have fun using Tor, also enjoy jail.

>I use an iPhone 6 and have refused to upgrade iOS to the latest version

Why not get an Android then?

As the head mod of a subreddit this really resonates with me.

>it had the user experience of windows 98 but was also a lot more stable.

I tried Windows 2000 and really wanted to make it my daily driver but I kept getting blue screens when I played games. I spent hours looking for a solution never figured it out. Went back to 98se up till Windows XP release.

>This (broken search) is the single biggest complaint I have with Windows 10. Everything else I can overlook.

Search in Windows 10 is garbage. I install Everything on ever y PC I use for home or work and it does wonders: https://www.voidtools.com/
