Again, I was a teenager. The TomTom was a gift. Sorry they didn’t give me a damn iPhone, I guess? 🙄

Why are you being so condescending about this and making so many assumptions about me? I wasn’t a “late adopter.” I was a teenager. I didn’t have a smart phone. I didn’t have a “new car in 2010” nor a built in navigation system. I was using a standalone TomTom GPS in highschool in a 1996 Honda Accord. That was 20 years ago. Technology is significantly better now.

Saying technology hasn’t progressed in 10 years is a very different statement than technology hasn’t progressed in 20 years.

Dude, take the rose tinted goggles off for a second. I had a GPS navigation system for my car early on, around ~2010, maybe a little earlier, that thing was shit. It could hardly figure out where I was in the city. It would very often snap to the wrong road and I’d have to reboot it. Today, it’s simple. I just pull out my magical everything device and use an app. Technology has progressed A TON in 20 years.

My phone can literally be used as VR goggles and stream HD video pretty much anywhere in the country. But smart phones existed in 07 and PDAs existed in the 90s. Yeah, no difference between these things. lol.

You don’t think there’s any difference between today’s phones and the 2007 ones? Not in cell coverage either?

Yeah, my smart phone with Internet access basically everywhere begs to differ.

Four things at once!? 😳

Jesus fucking Christ.

Ohhh, duhh, 196. I just didn’t make the connection.

The AI push right now is crazy. Where I’m working all teams have to show how much they’re using AI and where. Rather than being measured on their success they’re being measured on how they’re doing it.

If I type *blah* it shows it as something like blah, but I want it to not format until I send. It’s difficult for me to write in WYSIWYG editors. I want it to show *blah*.

I took a class on Unix/Linux in college for Computer Science and cyber security absolutely is too.

I’m on Mac and I dislike it too. No flashing cursor to let me know I’ve selected the chat window to type. The app insists on changing to a different view when I switch windows, making me lose it. The share screen ribbon always manages to be exactly where I need it to not be. Doesn’t allow any sort of Markdown-esque formatting in chat, only WYSIWYG.

Maybe about plugging in devices to charge when you’re done with them? Schools use laptops a lot now, but don’t think they’re communal ones on carts anymore.

What’s this mean?

That’s sort of a weird projection. It’s a chore. Obviously people would prefer to minimize time spent doing chores and maximize time spent doing fun things. It’s really not that complicated for most people. Not saying you can’t enjoy going to the store, but ultimately what you’re doing is still finding a way to make it less of a chore. Spoonful of sugar, and all that, ya know?

See? That’s that I’m talking about. Good ol’ red-blooded Linux user.
