Good old poisonous water, since water itself has a safe limit, ld50’s exist for pretty much everything

Now you can slam the top of the machine to boot it up

Played so much road rash on my dad’s gear during long drives in the Ohio countyside, I think we either had a adapter for the cig lighter or a special battery pack or both because it seemed to last long enough for me, but definitely shorter than. My OG Gameboy ran for. Was a great color handheld before that was common

Yeah I’ve had so many Chevy’s spoof me into thinking they were backing out of a parking spot only to realize they weren’t, infuriating

That would make sense, essentially double dipping the debt. Twice soaked in horrible costs.

I live in America, have medical debt that I generally have ignored, and it never shows up on my credit score, I wonder if making the payment arrangement is what made it show up on the report, because currently I have a 800 credit score.

That laugh still haunts me. Also the SAM application for text to speech which was pretty good for the era

Lincoln’s nice though I have found Omaha a little more affordable, same great purple people, same crappy state government

Oh man that unlocked a memory of some attempts I heard of voices through PC Speaker that weren’t bad but definitely weren’t great lol

Nice I couldn’t imagine playing music on my c64’s 1541 drive the thing made scary knocking noises when it worked properly!

How quickly we forget the chip tunes of the PC Speaker, I used it in a computer lab one day to play a nearly undetectable high freq wave using logo. The PC Speaker was a pretty flexible little speaker

Armatrons were pretty neat but I can definitely imagine why functional ones are nigh impossible to obtain, I would imagine all the plastic gearing inside either chipped away by careless use and worn down over years

Pretty sure in the late 80’s early 90’s it was on Fox kids broadcast tv

I know that, I was just refuting the claim that “your not going to make that kind of money in a flyover state”, it is possible, and you don’t have to work the big 5 here either, and the cost of living is way less.

I’m a software architect, though even when I was just a senior java developer I was making 130k, software pays well even in the fly overs.

I live in Nebraska, and all comp included make around 155k per year salary + bonus. You can make that kind of money even here in the “shit”

My favorite project was around 6 years ago when my former employer was looking to modernize the customer service automation experience with AI, it started with a round the US tour of going to the HQ’s of 4 big tech companies in the space(IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Google at the time) as part of an investigatory team. We were to select what we thought would be the best engine to run conversational AI in our applications, during that time we were also given greenfield to write a modern framework apart from our existing technology to leverage it. Over the course of a year and a half we went from ideation to the creation of an omni-channel conversational framework that netted me and the team a patent, and allowed me to flex architecture skillset that lead me to my current role as a solution architect working with some of the same people at another better company. Definitely the most fun, exciting and rewarding project of mine to date.

Probably an issue on the device, I would try clearing the cache for the application and see if it fixes the issue. Often times weird stuff like this is some web component that cached incorrectly.

I’ve run into this twice, both times I’ve had to deal with Microsoft Support for around 2-3 hours to resolve, shitty for a paying customer.

I have a friend who has been moderately successful in the game creation space and he is saying he wants to just give up at this point because of this change.
