You forgot the n^th generation copy of a copy of a copy that has no true blacks, just these weird grey pointillism bands that are so askew your basically writing at an angle.

I also have some horrendous carpal tunnel syndrome, if I’m filling out something on a clipboard, my already rusty handwriting is going to rapidly degrade even further.

It should be noted that “microwave safe” containers are not necessarily food safe. It literally means they will not melt or warp the microwave.

No, this is not a humanity problem. This is a capitalism problem. Companies are not beholding to their customers, they are beholden to stock owners. It is no longer in their best interest to make customers happy, it’s in their best interest to provide ROI for their investors. Every software product hits a point of diminishing returns. There are no new amazing features to woo new customers, it is a mature product that only has incremental features. When this happens, you either flip to a subscription model and parasitize your user base, or sell to another vendor, management group, or some other entity who does it after you’ve been paid out. If we had better controls on mergers and buyouts there would be active competition to foster diversity and keep prices down, but when companies buy all their competition and all of the small companies who make products and enhancements for their base, it’s a lose lose situation for the end users. This is my jaded two cents after a quarter century of being in the IT/AEC field in the direct line of this enshittification process from multiple companies across the spectrum.

I’ve never sent a postcard. Born in 1970.

I don’t know when or how, but it seems in my lifetime we went from that. Having corporations that just did something well and left it at that to this idiotic grow or die mentality that seems to be fueled by investor ROI.

I think I remember that app? I’m going to have to go look that up. It’s shocking what one forgets in a quarter of a century.

Galaxy Xcover series.

Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.

To be fair, most/all kernels are written on a hardware abstraction layer, although lot of that kernel was built off of VMS… 😂

Didn’t NT 3.x or 4.x run on a RISC CPU back in the day?

The NJ ripped (deep fried) ones are missing. Also the Carolina is misplaced. The slaw dog originated in WV.

New Balance has 4E and I struck gold with XLFeet.com too.

Has to be…

Great post, thanks!

Thanks! There a few that I hadn’t heard about!

I’m pretty sure IBM sold the branding to them since they were already doing the manufacturing. They still do the warranty/maintenance work, though based on the last two call outs I’ve had with their “techs” I might opt for depot repairs or taking it to the local Micro Center for warranty work.

It looks interesting and affordable enough to be a good time waster game. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’ll give it a shake!

Oh man, I used to be able to get ginger ice cream at our local Trader Joe’s! (Ginger people brand) that was so damn good!
