idk, you can set up your nfc-enabled phone to be your subway/bus card here, it just works on the scanners directly. that's pretty useful for neurotypicals imo.

The Performa 6118CD is exactly the same as the Performa 6110CD, except that the 6118CD shipped with a faster 28.8k modem and a larger 500 MB hard drive.

The business version of this model is the Power Macintosh 6100/60 and the server version is the WGS 6150/60.

LC = educational
Centris = normal 68k
Performa = macs sold through resellers
Quadra = high-end 68k
Power Mac = power mac
WGS = business power mac

i cant find the actual emails now but i remember something like:

the ipad naming (or lack of) issue is a joke. will the next ipad be "the new new ipad" and then this one will be renamed "the formerly new ipad?" maybe windows should drop the version numbers and just name every version "the new windows" or ios should be "the new ios"

etc it went on for a while

when youre looking down a list of crap its good to have meaningful poo poo in the title so you dont have to click "acer vc211h-x" to find out it's 24”, 1080p, 2ms grey-to-grey (why so fast? cause GaMeRs want fast lovely panels), then click the next one, the next one, the next one

filtering would be better but thats not how people use sites. they just cram more specificity into the search box

cable cards are easy to use and any 3rd party cable box that didn't use cable card would have effectively the same thing built in. the problem is most people don't actually care about cable boxes and the few that do already have them via cable card

altho cable card was pre-switched digital so you have to get a tuning adapter which does suck but they give them to you w/ the card.

No one talks about this.
my verizon fiosbox gives me ads when i try to change the channel sometimes but they take forever to load and sometimes crash so you hit guide button and then it says 'loading reccomendations for you' and then becomes unresponsive for like 2 minutes until it times out and says 'sorry we couldnt load this ad right now' and goes to some settings panel instead of letting me just change the loving channel. but it preserves all the button clicks you make while waiting for the ad to load so after it crashes, the guide loads, exits, loads, exits 50 times in a row
