I love how his specs were so outrageous back then but are just becoming normal now

flat screen monitor 40 inches wide - you can easily get one now
every file inspected, no viruses detected - EDR is a thing now which is constantly watching for malicious activity
it does all my work without me even asking - automation is definitely a thing now
got me a T1 line at my house - we're well beyond 1.5Mbit to the home now lol

lol you WISH you had “a hundred gigabytes of RAM”

I got a couple of those on order. Always nice to have a few high mem nodes in the compute cluster.

That's the one that stood out to me the most. Those are available now, but only in a four stick configuration.

Some servers do already. And not just business class either, I know of a few Plex servers that are running on 256 GB RAM disks

You think your commodore 64 is pretty neato,

What kind of chip you got in there, a Dorito?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're using a 286? Don't make me laugh. Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?

You could backup your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette. You’re the biggest joke on the internet.

WHAT?

In case you don't know who Weird Al is, he was/is famous for making parodies of well known songs. This one is based on "It's all about Benjamins": https://youtu.be/0c58ppLPJcQ

"Amish Paradise" is great: https://youtu.be/lOfZLb33uCg

Or "Smells like Nirvana": https://youtu.be/FklUAoZ6KxY

Here's an interview with him, talking about his most iconic tracks: https://youtu.be/ETyCK9mqhDI

Thanks, l'll take an Al rabbit hole any day. I'm well aware; had "The Compleat Al" on betamax.

I was simply quoting the last line of this lovely artistry.

"What?! "

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I remember downloading this onto a Zip disk at school because I only had dialup at home and wanted to watch it over and over!
