Lol the für Elise thing is funny. Back in highschool I got a “PC maintenance” credit which had me assigned as support in the computer lab. I made a batch script that ran on startup and showed a warning message saying the hard disk will self destruct and did a countdown from 10 with the motherboard speaker beeping down, fun times

I was just about to comment that this reminded me of the sub7 days. Not sure when it was released, but I definitely used it in 1998

Edit, memory was wrong, it was released in February 1999

Coming from the 9000 series, I am wondering what do you like about the 5700 series HAL?

I use it to bridge Whatsapp, SMS, signal, and to receive any incoming messages on my inactive Instagram and Facebook Messenger accounts ( sometimes people contact me there). It’s a pretty nice client app, I use it on desktop too. I guess I never think about iMessage until I see reactions coming in as text haha

Thanks, I had no idea that India had a maoist insurgency!

That was my first reaction, because… News in general in my corner of the world

Yeah, I totally understand how it’s necessary across many parts of the US. There’s so much I couldn’t have done in high school, like having a job, if I couldn’t drive. I didn’t live in a rural area, but between the sprawl and lack of public transportation…

Yeah, I assumed most of the world was at least 18. I was surprised when I moved to the US at 15 and could get a learner’s permit and drive with an adult, and drive by myself at 16.

Lol, my exact first thought, Bobby Tables turned 18!

Ah yes, the true root cause of all financial insecurity among Americans: smearing some fruit paste on toast!

Fancy exploits… Or at first maybe just a 17 year old wearing a costume mustache haha

I am about to go on this adventure of setting up a full *arr stack! I had it kind of almost working once, had a kid, and now finally getting time to work up a proper server to handle everything
