listen up, stupid kiddies. ur retarded babblin and panicing is getin outta hand
we r stil in 2006
a pc is stil impractical crap
u turn on the crt, it takes 20 scnds to show img and makes a loud noise then a constant buzzin sound and ur room is filled w/ flicker

there is no such thing as "AI" nor proof that it exists thus far, wat ur seein is just image processing algos followed to their logical conclusion. "AI" doesnt lie or deceive, reason, nor understand things, it just strings together words that it has been trained to see together in certain contexts
"AI" has never "learned to draw a shadow w/o explicit programming", its just putting shadows (it doesnt even know what that is) in the same patterns it has seen from its training data
wat ur seeing by losing ur job to AI is a manager falling for FOMO just as with cloud and virtualization

If you think about it the world really has changed a lot since 2006.
In 2006 few people had wifi and there was no wireless internet beamed to your phone like there is now.
The PSP was the most revolutionary device.
Broadband was mostly a novelty only families and rich people had access to and most people still used CRT tvs and monitors.
Not to mention most people didn't even have cellphones, only people who used them for business purposes had them.
Fast forward 20 years and smartphones and wireless internet have literally destroyed society and ruined entire generations.
It's scary to think of what all these radicalized normal people would have turned to if they didn't have Web 2.0.
We would end up with either hardcore zionist extremism on a way larger scale than now or something, they would have had to focus their NPC hivemind energy on something.
Anyways I have a fuarrrking tablet, just like the device from 2001 a Space Odyssey but I am totally unphased and jaded.
I can have full-on conversations with Artificial Intelligence and learn about anything.
Next year my glasses will overlay a digital interface onto the physical world and I'll have Terminator vision.
Oh and robots are actually a real thing now, not just scifi or DARPA projects.
I just wish people would start dressing like it's the future.

>2006 most people didn't have a cell phone
Literally every teen had one, and it wasn't for anything related to employment or education.
Heh, this is pretty spot on, kids here won't know.
>>48826
>a pc is stil impractical crap
Yep.
>u turn on the crt, it takes 20 scnds to show img and makes a loud noise then a constant buzzin sound and ur room is filled w/ flicker
Exactly, the CRT has never been replaced. IPS still has terrible viewing angles and color qualities (VA has bad color too). LCD can only get rid of blur if you set the refresh rate to 240Hz+ but that also requires the application to generate 240FPS+. The only real new thing is OLED which should have been switched to 20 years ago. Also irony that LCDs take 20 seconds to turn on (to load their bloatware, *AHEM*, HDCP) and switch modes (to reload their bloatware) etc. Buzzing now comes from every device except the monitor (and even the monitor sometimes).
>u turn on the 200w lights, the house is stil 2 dim
Exactly, LEDs cost the same since you have to buy a special premium one for $30 / bulb to get anything near the performance of an incandescent (even just fixing the most low hanging metrics like CRI and flicker frequency will cost this much). Then since nobody buys (beta tests) them, they need to be replaced at 1/10th or 1/5th the lifespan they're advertised for, or you may just realize you missed another important metric and they're still crap and you have to move onto the "latest and greatest" for the 5th time. Remember mutts also fell for the CFL meme and they still use them, hilariously.
>theres uncontrollable heat like a favela, u hav bugs and rodents, and ur electronics fill ur room with unwanted tones of bright color
Yep. Since 2006 they put those bright blue LEDs in everything because they figured out how to make a blue LED and all "engineers" got all giddy about it, not realizing it's fuarrrking annoying to look at.
>u click a button, nothing happens for many seconds
Yep, perf is actually down from the 90's.
>u cant view a document with 2 clicks
Yep, every document is in a different format and needs a different corporate bloatware or beta hobby tier program to read.
>u cant summon it by voice or clapping or whatever
Yep, human input recognition is still not perfect.
>u cant make things "wireless"
Yep, interference, interception, the base price hugely boosted to fit in some stupid microcontroller and you're now paying $200 for something with decent quality and still the usual wireless bugs.
>this pc costs $1000
Yep. You won't be able to run any software smoothly with less.
>every1 having a pc is not good for the so called environment
>(u cant make a dishwasher that uses no water)
Yep, they've made it illegal to make dishwashers that work (not that that would be in the interest of a commercial business anyway) since the mid 90s when they restricted the amount of water they're allowed to use.
>u cant use ur pc to view a map
Yep, there are no good map viewing programs without botnet.
>u cant use ur pc to listen to music or watch movies
Codecs are a mess.
>js and shell scripts are not real programming
>pdf or html is not an acceptable anything
It's amazing how many people don't get this even though it's been settled 20 years ago. They just make a superman logo for HTML and CSS and think they are hip now.
>u cant "offload" ur security or infrastructure 2 the cloud, its just a scam
I feel sorry for people who went full in on the VM fad and the cloud fad. Or maybe I don't.
>there is no such thing as "AI" nor proof that it exists thus far, wat ur seein is just image processing algos followed to their logical conclusion. "AI" doesnt lie or deceive, reason, nor understand things, it
>"AI" has never "learned to draw a shadow w/o explicit programming", its just putting shadows (it doesnt even know what that is) in the same patterns it has seen from its training data
>wat ur seeing by losing ur job to AI is a manager falling for FOMO just as with cloud and virtualization
>u cant drive a car with "AI", thats the dumbest misconception there is
>u cant use an "AI" to make legal rulings, youd have to be 100x even more retarded / misinformed
Yep.
>UAC is stil pointless
Not sure why anyone ever thought otherwise about these marketing gimmicks where a program says "do you want to allow this program to use <extremely vague permissions>". Broken on so many levels and the pitch doesn't even make sense.
>X.509 is still snakeoil
Not when a racket says otherwise.
>u cant do computing on a phone
Yep, locked down proprietary hardware with baseband exfiltration capabilities that can't be shut off.
>u cant make thoughts or speech illegal
Yep.
>u cant learn things on the web, read a book, go 2 school
Yep, the web is foremost low quality content where the writer spends the minimum amount of time, typically just paraphrasing other such websites, to make the article complete. Then puts some ads on it and hits publish. There's almost no except to this. Even in hobby circles most people are chasing clout instead, and regardless, being poorly educated themselves most of the time.
>u cant play video games on a pc
Yep, they still can't understand the vsync signal.
>online gaming doesnt work cus of lag, no amt of client side dis an dat fixes that
Yep. They don't understand causality; they just tack on "fixes" like client side hit detection.
>online gaming doesnt work cus of autistic / caveman moderators, similar to "johns internet forum" and "bobs imageboard"
Yep, been there for sure.
>calling a pc a console and branding it as sony does not make it able to play video games
Yep. Many consoles since 2005 ish are just general purpose computers with no hard realtime performance (as in, the game drops to 30fps when anything exciting happens).
>u cant "google" "stackoverflow" "gpt" "claude" something, or everyone would be doing it
Yep. Like with web content anything you get out of these tools is very basic. Even if you get a "pro" result from a code gen it's just copying how the last 3000 people made that "pro" result for this very specific problem that has lots of info published about it. It can't do it in general. You're just depriving yourself of knowledge when you use these tools most of the time. And you get further and further int othe "nocoder" zone, which is what your employer wants, but everyone else is in the same "nocoder but can do specific task" mentality as you and so eventually half of these people lose their jobs. I'd go further and say the calculator and camera were the first such cruches.
>mayo is a humilation ritual to mimic eating cum, febreze doesnt work and u still ==SMELL LIKE SHIT== u fat little sysadmin
No comment.
>not ONE ==NOT ONE == of these facts has changed in ur little "muh future" of 2026. we are stil in 1998
Basically yep.

i can tell you weren't born until sometime after ~2002, son.
i saw the birth of the internet, so sit down boy.
soykaf wasn't great in '06, or even '98,
but it worked fine enough for the works we wanted to do.
go take your meds now lad, and play nice with your siblings.

>>u cant use ur pc to view a map
>Yep, there are no good map viewing programs without botnet.
You shoulda posted about phone maps. Retards can't do anything without a map even if they crash while doing it. One time I was going out for lunch with colleagues and one has his neck permanently hunched over his phone (as in it's deformed because he does that all the time), pressing "no" to 10 different update messages, restarting crashed apps, closing ads, refreshing the map, refreshing the connection. And he found a route that would be shorter than the general walking we did on a Friday. But it was Thursday. You just go in a general direction and you're always optimal. If there's a thing that blocks you, you'll remember. Phonetards are afraid they'll waste several hundred hours if they don't spend an hour looking up the "proper" route.

You can still live like this if you want to, though it is a pain obtaining a CRT these days. The nostalgic pain is often just the conflict between our desire to be normal and up-to-date and our desire for the things we are emotionally attached to to still be normal and up-to-date. You have to pick one. You can't escape the fact that the old is no longer cool and edgy. Just grow up and enjoy the tech that's still around.
You can't escape the blinding headlights while you're driving, but you could make your life look like the past if you really wanted to, and even normal people could appreciate your love as a hobby.

I got lucky with my CRT tv and monitor, happened to have a friend who's brother in-law had a CRT tv in his garage and the monitor is from a local office.
I do use these things knowing full well the volatility and lessening time I have to enjoy them.
My decision to use older technology is partially nostalgia but also that newer stuff just feels sterile and soulless.
People have forgotten the art of material design and aesthetics and opt for convenience.
Pretty soon physical screens will be phased out for head-mounted-displays and you'll see zschoomers using 4K OLED monitors as some sort of ritualistic nostalgia.
I am just living the message of "If you build it, they will come", they for me being the internet and tech world of the 00s.
Who knows, with A.I. and robotics becoming more advanced there could soon be a day where warehouses can custom build retro electronics for you on-demand.
I want an iMac G3.

..if "AI" replaced court, it would be slightly better because it wouldn't be an autistic, schizophrenic baboon. but it would still be extremely soykafty because it's projecting from the rationales of a billion autistic baboons; all "AI" right now just regurgitate half rational BS that normal people make up or pretend to know. you couldn't have it construct a philosophy from the ground up either, because there's no rationale AI yet (if ever)

In the 90's you would boot up the computer and take 5 minutes to load all its adware, then start typing and go do something else after 5 minutes because you thought typing too many words would cause your knuckles to paper clip apart.

That is pretty normal. There is a seed planted by the powers that be (look at the names who originate these ideas) to capture exclusivity and then that is used for an in-group for extractive purposes. You will see through lines for any of these scabs. Feminism is just an interesting example, because everybody notices an interesting "smell" upon the ideology and people who promulgate it.
