I suddently feel the urge to go for a visit to as many big AI datacenters as I can!
You FIEND!
I prefer Linux 98
I dunno man, trying to get Slackware working in the late 90s was… unfun.
Vista was better than win10. Fight me.
Only problem with it was performance, but I personally had it on a somewhat decent machine and dont remember having any hassle with it. Win10, on the other hand, is where they went full on “you will own nothing” philosophy to the point of resetting user settings, removing controls, remotely installing unwanted adware and injecting unremoveable spyware into the os, with only redeeming point for stepping back on the horrendous win8 UI… kinda, not fully. People tend to shit on win11 yet it only does the same things win10 was doing for a whole decade.
Brb going on a datacenter tour
I’m okay with this, actually. I missed the good ones around that time and Vista is all I ever knew.
Everybody loved Win98 and loathed WinME - I thought ME wasn’t bad, slight improvement over 98SE, after spending 2 solid nights on the internet looking up how to disable all the worthless ME crap they stuck in there that was a good laptop for several years.
That gif was loading for 5 seconds on my phone and I think that’s fitting.
If everywhere you look is Vista, then you yourself might be… oh my, oh no, please say it isn’t so!?!
Not my MacBook, you monster! Nooo!
Better than Win 11, so really a blessing in disguise.
Only to the unimportant computers in my life, like work.
I recognise that face, where is this from?
It’s Richard Ayoade (Eye-Oh-Wah-Dee) and I think this may be from The IT Crowd which is hilarious but I don’t recognize this scene from that show. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it though. Its a mid 2000s show.
Edit: the more I watch it the more I think that’s it bc the other guy looks to be Chris O’Dowd who was also in that show.
Correct! I.T Crowd. If I recall correctly this was from one of the very last episodes that may have only been released on disc! :)
In this scene they get caught up in a bomb threat, and the computer for the robot has technical issues so the cops ask if anybody knows computers. Moss asks the operating system.
It could very well be the last episode. :)
I do remember now. Your description was spot on. Now I need to watch the show again.
It’s definitely the IT Crowd.
What counts as a computer?
It’d be pretty cool if I could get the Antikythera mechanism to run Vista
Yeah I’m not sure I want my phone running Vista.
My abacus going to be fucking lit when I fire up minesweeper 😎
Put a NSFW tag on this! I was on the bus using an Intel Atom netbook.
