Comment Re:We already exerience such service. (Score 1) 123

This type of chain tries to cheaply mimick the experience. They stick their hand up their worker's asses and make them squeal your name. It's degrading for all involved. Back when Facebook was a thing, my buddy used to enter the wrong birthday. Some people who barely knew him, would congratulate him.

Comment Best way to put those computers to use (Score 1) 183

No one has mentioned the possibility of using RDP to connect to a modern computer running Windows 11.

You can buy a computer that is grunty enough to run mutilple sessions simultaneously, and then use these various machines to which you have become accustomed to act as dumb terminals without having to go to much trouble.

Don't connect them to the internet. Do your web browsing and email and whatnot in the remote session. But, you can run that accounting software you started using in 1998, or your favorite DOS games, or whatever makes you still want to use the old machines locally.

Comment It's a campfire (Score 0) 43

People get so caught up in things, they forget that you can get the same happiness sitting outside and staring at the coals of a campfire.

Have you nerds ever sat outside under the stars and stared at the coals of a campfire?

It's a far superior form of passive entertainment than movies, music or video games. But, you would have to experience it to know that.

Comment Re:Gen-Z problem (Score 1) 46

Currently I'm using a 43" 4K monitor, and although I love it, there's one thing where the huge size isn't useful: terminals. They're basically the one thing where extreme vertical space isn't that useful. The most important output is almost always at the bottom, because that's where the prompt is.

For other stuff, browsers, IDE, mail, chat clients etc, it's incredible.

Comment Can't build it (Score 1) 8

Am I crazy? I don't see any way to build the source code. There's no .xcodeproj folder with associated files.

In every iOS project, at the root, there's the .xcodeproj folder and inside there's the project.pbxproj. Which basically is the Makefile of Swift code. It's not there.

This code is just a dump to peruse. Not to actually build the app.
