Although, the fact that phones makers talk about the number of years of updates they provide, rather than being like an _actual_ computer, where you just like, install software,

Like, when's the last time you saw Dell or Lenovo being like "This laptop comes with up to three years of Windows update"? When's the last time "unlocked bootloader" or "rootable" where selling points on a _real_ computer? Never. That's not a thing. That would be stupid and pathetic. Smartphones are stupid and pathetic.

I got absolutely sick of screwing with a few modern computers and decided they're absolutely cursed so I pulled out an old computer to play with, and it reboots when you try to initialize the CD-ROM drive, but it also won't recognize the hard drive without a CD-ROM drive installed.

So it turns out all computers are just cursed.

2026-05-29T05:06:38Z

Hey so I have a stupid question

I have a 386sx computer, with 1MB of built in RAM, and 1MB of SIMM RAM. In the BIOS, it shows the first 640K of built in RAM as base, obviously, but it will only accept 512k, 1024k, 4096k under extended RAM. Which suggests the remaining 384k of built in RAM is going unutilized. Unless I turn on "Remap shadow RAM", then that 384K shows up under "Remapped RAM"

But it won't let you turn this on if you have hard drive type set to "custom" or "auto", for some reason

I wrote a new short story for the first time in a long time. But reading it back, my god it's _deeply_ depressing.

What the _actual_ fuck is wrong with me

I will continue spelling it "combonation" so long as people keep shortening it to "combo"

Unless it's an old VW, then it's obviously "Kombination"

Might as well throw some jpeg in there, too

I should create a hybrid of gif and tiff called jif just so everyone _has_ to pronounce gif correctly

My phone just gave me a notification to "free up space by deleting unused apps"

Now, given I've tried to do this many times, but was always told "No" by my phone, I figured this is finally my chance, so I tapped the notification.

And do you want to know what apps it wanted me to delete?

ALL THE APPS I ACTUALLY USE.

It wanted to delete:
The calculator.
The sound db meter.
Firefox.
And both home security appliance management apps (the only reason I own this phone)

GOSH DAMMIT GOOGLE

Touche. But it's highly confusing to my eyes.

There does seem to be this strange divide in the tech world, between people who want computers to be easy to use, but block people from truly understanding them, and people who want everyone to _have_ to truly understand them to be _able_ to use them.

Surely the valley is also fertile?

It's crazy to see how much my opinions have changed since I was a child.

I hated touch screens. I even hated flat panel displays. I thought everything should be a CRT. I loved outdated computers and thought they were so much better. I was such a luddite.

These days, however, my opinions have changed completel- oh wait no, No, my opinions have changed shockingly little.

I'm really glad I'm graduating college this fall. Because I've been at this _way_ to long and I'll be honest I'm beyond sick of it.

2025-08-22T03:35:38Z

I've been wondering to myself recently, how can I possibly prefer proprietary mobile OS's over Android? Old OS's like BB10 and PalmOS were proprietary. Android is open source. What's wrong with me?

Well, I've decided, first of all, it's totally reasonable to prefer them over iOS, which I absolutely do.

Second, it's a sign I prefer Linux over Windows because it actually _works_, not just because "woo, freedom! Libre! I'm morally superior"
