Try a flame thrower. Did you know that toner is flammable?

I work in a law office and we still fax quite a lot (although now it's online "faxing" instead of a machine).

Love it, or just ask them how fewer hours would they like him to work

remember those boxes.... could be opened from behind by just pulling the sides out

or when you accidently click "open in new window" instead of "open in new tab"

There's a great app where you can dial your phone numbers like on an old phone

The 〈blink〉tag〈/blink〉

Come to the dark roast side. We have biscotti.

`which cat` ;-)

In an "anonymous" survey I sounded off about something and about a week later got called in and asked "just at random" if I knew who had written at length about said subject! I feigned shock and surprise and the lady from HR, who I got on with quite well with, had trouble keeping a straight face, as I just played dumb. Got the problem addressed though!

The only fix for HP printers is to defenestrate them!

Ha. I was once given a Filofax made from old circuit boards.

I started using Sumatra as a viewer 10 years ago and now I'll never use anything else.

Installing different printer drivers for each program that you installed.

That's not long..

And then the client keeps trying to move their mouse and type into their office chat program. We can't both control the computer at one time, please stop. This would be like if Patrick Swayze was trying to make a cool vase, and Demi is there just mashing her fists into the clay.

Judging by other BP articles they were absolutely right.

Yeah my accounts are VERY secure from me. Especially since my mobile network provider helpfully cancelled my subscription after I had double-checked with them that they would cancel the OTHER number I had in my name (email, orally, everything) that had not been working for over four weeks. They cancelled the one that worked and I still got a bill for the one that doesn't work. And of course all 2FA use my mobile number!!

Aaargh! The Bluescreen of Dëath!

All the cloud is, is someone else's computer!

Heh

5 milliseconds.

I just dumped an entire box of obsolete tech parts, including a cable just like this, that I haven’t used in 20+ years, but I’m certain to need next week.

This is one of those things that I will disagree with. Based on this, there are no backups, since even though you take a backup and do an immediate restore as a validation - what is to say that there is NOW a new issue and you need to do another test restore to validate it. Where does it end? Just do one to validate the process and call it a day.

There's a saying in Greek "nothing is more permanent than the temporary"

Ah, the days BC - Before Computers.

Somewhere out there, there is an AI chatbot that works by screen-scraping off a mainframe!

that's a long time for a rack to go without ocular inspection

ddmmyyyy, mmddyyyy, or yyyymmdd?

Downvote for the Kardashian.

Googling stuff, says the doctor as he's googling your symptoms, does not make you a doctor.

Where are my points for using IRC, Archie, and FTP lists?

It was an engineer, wasn't it?

Dial-up internet tying up your phone line.

Every religion has its zealots.

This is especially true of my old Sony Vaio. I always knew when it was time to clean the fan, as we had to raise our voices to speak above it. It got an SSD stuck in it when my colleague got fed up of waiting for it to shut down so we could go home.

I'll be using Windows 10 until 2045.

16 meg for $75.

Can confirm.

This is not what they mean when they tell you to touch grass.

Perhaps screen touching is only forbidden to those unfortunate souls with deviated pinkie fingers?

That's a relief. I don't have AI Installed.

more true than you know!

There was a time, in a land not so far away, that we used to get these paper things called magazines which had pages of hieroglyphs which you manually keyed into "the computer" and it did things. We occasionally saved the better ones on audio cassettes. This was fraught with difficulty as cassettes have to be wound to the right place. Hence it could well be quicker to type it all in again, which was a real git!

Ah this reflects the history of my PhD. I recently looked at 5 year old code and oh no

I know a website that needs a good one badly. Every change breaks something and improves nothing.

AI won't do illegal things?

OP has never been in a scenario in their life that required printing both sides of the paper, without a printer equipped to do so automatically. I have, and I sure could have used the "print all even" and "print all odd" options.

Also me telling my computer it was a good and encouraging it with the occasional "you can do it" worked wonders on 386 and 486 computers. If you imagined hard enough

Pffft. My first computer had 32K of RAM. Yes, Kilobytes. I still look at software today and think what on earth is all the bloat.

And you taught him the value of good spelling?
