The increasing spread of cheap good technology isn't really about the new hotness coming out it's about last decade stuff finally becoming affordable.

The family computer had a 40 gig hard drive until about 2008.

My dad got tired of struggling so he just told me the future proof a build.

He said "Max out everything" So I did.

128gb ddr4 ram, ryzen 5600 4.6ghz 12 core hyperthreaded CPU, nvidia 2080. (He wouldn't let me get the 40x card)

Which is exactly why I dislike the fact that nvme happened.

The world had finally standardized on one physical size of hard drive, 2.5 inch sata. You could tell your technophobic aunt to just go buy one of these and it'll work.

I read an article once where the Google committee thing actually drove a graphic designer into a mental breakdown.

Supposedly they spent 4 hours arguing between a three and a four pixel line of blue, in the google logo redesign.

With Time Warner you don't even have to do that you can just call up and ask, they'll probably give you the discount. They absolutely do not care.

I don't understand the bow tie thing, that just seems petty. Why would they fire them?

That's what you get when your key space is too small for the problem you're trying to solve.

I remember a Defcon talk I saw on YouTube where the guy said "remember everything is either broken or using default credentials"

Amazon makes something like 80% of their profit off of Amazon web services. They have no reason to give the tiniest crap about any physical product they will ever sell ever again.

That makes perfect sense. That's not even really a secret. Did you actually think they'd lend someone hundreds of thousands of dollars, and not background check them?

AOL was fined some small amount for this exact thing.
