Most of my childhood was in the early 2010s but for me it was like I was living in the 90s because I was always at my grandparent’s. They had all sorts of retro tech I played with as a kid. I burned CDs, I listened to cassettes and I had no internet, ever. My first exposure to a PC was with a mid 80s PC clone running Windows 1.0. So it’s probably something like this

Does Rain World qualify?

Lol, interesting situation over there. My 4G connection is literally 4 times the speed of my wifi (or even 7 times in upload). Reception is great, 4G isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Windows 10 extended security updates

2026: Holding nothing because we don’t own our tech anymore

Twitter

I joined when everyone was competing about holding their poop in as much as possible

Yeah I hate it.

It doesn’t have to be like this, I can literally fire up my iPhone 5C with iOS 10 (10 years out of date btw) and still connect to the App Store, Apple Music, use iCloud and see the online leaderboards in games that use Game Center.

Oh, unrelated fun fact: apparently Rovio left the servers open for Angry Birds Epic. 13 years later you can still play even if it is unlisted everywhere

The haircut?

Rust is very popular because is as low level as C but has memory safety features builtin, so it is considered the best of both worlds. So basically what you said is correct.

(Disclaimer: I am not a Rust programmer, I prefer C/C++)

Installed. It even has its own engine

Uses rust because it’s memory safe but it is vibe coded and the developer doesn’t know what a borrow checker is.

Just use a high level language at this point

That’s why I have an AC split in my room. Sometimes even it struggles to cool down the area near the window and I have to use a fan

The temperature in my room was 32°C last night at 10:30 PM

Apparently keeping inactive accounts in the database costs more than hosting a store with petabytes of games

The same thing happens here in Italy with the Piracy Shield ™ which blocks a ton of websites even some legit ones. It’s so easy to bypass, just change the DNS.

One day digital is also going to die and we will be forced to stream games on a crappy service that costs 50$ a month

what if it isn’t? I honesty can’t tell
