This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Two 2000's tech things I'm shocked still exist (lemmy.world)

  1. PCMag - I used to physically walk into a store and buy that magazine to read about computers…before the internet was so clean and fast it made for a better news and media experience. I’m pretty sure PCMag has been around since they included AOL cds with an isssue.

  2. Woot! Lol…why? Woot was always stupid. The deals were never good. There is no need for it.

Both of these give me a lot of nostalgia for the early 2000’s. Playing games on Yahoo messenger. GameCube, PS2, OG Xbox.

Shocked they still exist, let alone have the funds to be running Facebook ads.

I actually bought a phone case from Woot a few months ago. It’s not great looking but functional enough. It had been so long since I last logged in that I had to do a bunch of stuff to fix my account.

How much was it as opposed to just buying on Amazon?

I think it was a little under $20 instead of around $30. I just happened to open an email saying they were selling them and at the time was looking to replace my old one.
