We'd also tie an onion to our belt, which was the style at the time.

@lcamtuf it's ok, it's a closed loop: they'll automatically reject you when the AST can't parse your resume because it's not in markdown (despite only accepting PDFs).

New business idea: Fleet of hobbyist drones that wearing Garmin smart watches to spoof Strava work outs*

You can fool enemy military OS-INT and I can also avoid actually having to go for my afternoon run.

* Emulators and GPS spoofing (or just direct API calls to Strava) would be more practical, but this is way more hilarious.

The IDEs of March. SSDs are so expensive we're busting these out again

I should have put my retirement funds into DDR5. Not the companies that produce it mind you, I mean literal stacks of DDR5 in a safe. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2026-03-13/iran-war-helium-supply-chip-production-at-risk-video

@SwiftOnSecurity have you used Windows 11? Makes me miss DOS tbh.

@schrotthaufen @hacks4pancakes Something can be terrible and still become somewhat useful and unavoidably ubiquitous. Smart Phones are a great example.

I wish I didn't need one to live in modern society, but if I'm going to need one I want to know how they work and what fun tricks they can do. That's sort of how I see LLMs. Maybe I'm just old and tired of yelling at clouds.

@SecurityWriter you should have a terraforming gun? You can just tunnel through the earth. Handy on dangerous planets.

@jalefkowit I cant even afford RAM and they want me to have a NPU?

At the rate we're going with hardware costs and the return of the Commodore 64 a better business bet would be to sell a fancy x386 DOS machines to play Wizardry.

@j0hnnyxm4s "most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots."

@SecurityWriter Sounds like the TPMS needs a TPM.

As a technologist who compiled his first Linux kernel as a teenager in '95 (1.2.13), I am so confident in the AI revolution I have invested my money in Costco and the like. My theory is: When things go to shit people will still want rotisserie chicken.

Disclaimer: Forward looking statements about chicken are speculative at best. I'm a vegetarian FFS.

@mttaggart I'll just go back to IRC. Wait I never left...
