Meant that as what about they could store.

Why I know. Go play it and you’ll see how they did it.

I am curious who said. You know am audio take will create a great experience.

Using a tape drive is crazy when you think about it. It was slow…. This wasn’t the big tape cartridges. It was a standard Audio tape. Not sure why they could store but it was all sequential

I think it was just a limit of how quick everything ran back then. Also, this was an IBM system that was checked, double-checked, and triple-checked because it was a mission-critical system. IBM used to be known for quality hardware. Hard to imagine because they are such a crap company now but that was the equivalent of a google back then.

My first pc had a tape drive.

It isn’t a disk driver since the OS is not loaded yet. It is the hardware identifying each disk in the SCSI chain. Not sure what else it was doing walking the bus much I know finding all the disk was the longest part.

I think mine takes like 2 minutes. It’s ten years old. I’ve putting off upgrading to the cost of videos cards

I will date myself. These machines had a lot of memory as well which added to the slow reboot. I think it was 16 gigs.

The r series for IBM took forever. The p series was faster but was still slow

The more disk you had, the longer it took. It walked the scsi bus which took forever. So if you had more disk. It took even longer.

Since everything was remote, you’d have to call hands and they weren’t technical. Also no cameras since it was the 90’s.

Now when I restart a vm or container. I panic if it’s not back up in 10 minutes.

In the old days some of the servers took at hour to reboot. That was stressful when you couldn’t ping it at an hour.

Popsicles. It’ll help reduce the swelling and numb the pain.

This is my favorite one I’ve seen about it so far

That’s my take. I really dislike Google. I avoid using anything Google. I am not saying apple is perfect but they are not Google

Pretty much the same for me. I try to do zero business with Google. I tried android several times and it just felt like a rough draft of a real product.

Yes. I see no logical reason why life didn’t form somewhere else.

Ah the creepy stalker again. Creepy.

Agreed. The group make itself look bad. The mod is what everyone was expecting and didn’t disappoint in the interview. I haven’t laughed that hard in years.

I am very good at math but thanks for the worthless reply.

That is incorrect. I can tell you’ve never rented to people rent is set by the market. Supply and demand.

It doesn’t matter if the house cost 800k. If the market rent is 2k a month. That’s all you’ll get.

In the area where I had my rentals, the houses are 500k but the rent is only 1k. Now I bought in 2008 and only paid 120k. So only lost some money but I made it up in tax benefits.

People really don’t understand the economics of landlords. They think it’s all money in the pocket. It’s not. It’s a very thin profit margin with most the benefit being taxes.

People have some myth of passive income. I sold all my rentals because they were taking to much time. I never turned a profit but it was good for my taxes. If you want to slum lord you can turn a profit but even I dislike those people.

If I didn’t want it, I wouldn’t have an Iphone. I would have something else.
