I actually have one of those somewhere around here that came in some mystery box I bought from a youtube channel; not smoking, I've never had a chance to use it.

After years of trying to find it... FINALLY found 'Freak Styler' - don't know why I couldn't find it. Maybe was in that period after flash and before the re-works! Anyway I paid a nerd 420 in donations to a charity of his choice just to see a Duke Nukem Stripper on a dog again. https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/66473

 Unless I'm misremembering, this was part of the whole Donkey Kong lawsuit chain where Universal sued Nintendo for copyright infringement on King Kong, then Nintendo successfully counter-sued Universal to prove that King Kong was public domain, after which a whole bunch of licensees sued Universal to get their money back including these guys, only to lose it all again when Nintendo sued them for copyright infringement on Donkey Kong The lawsuits were what established Nintendo as a legitimate player in the US video game industry, and they ended up naming a character after the lawyer who represented them, John Kirby

Now I wish the Kirby's last name was like, Bergman or Johnson or some other serious lawyerly name "No, you can make Borowitz take enemy powers by holding down - lemme show you --" *grabs controller*

Behold, Tech Relics: The Shop Last passed by this place about 20 years ago, and I don't think it's changed. The inside of the store is crammed full of old towers and lovely early LCDs. The window display is a time capsule.    (pics are kinda crappy, my lens was clean but the shop window is caked in filth, and it was dark) I think the owner is still alive but it would not surprise me to find out he died a decade ago and is mummified in the back under a pile of 56k modems.

There have been a few of those shops round here that came and went in the last 20 years. Always the same story - 2 or 3 nerds get together and think they're going to get rich with a shop that builds custom gaming rigs and does repairs on the side. They somehow limp along for a few years by charging grandmas £50 to run a virus scan, but the shop itself is full of floppy drives and parallel printer cables in blister packs, and a couple of those hideous gamer PC cases made entirely of LEDs and fans.

It probably made more sense before the internet took over. My first PC back in 1997 was specced and bought through a shop like that run by two goth weirdos using recliners as office chairs and it was the greatest PC building experience I've ever had.

I came so close to greatness thanks to my local computer shop weirdos. I went to a meeting of local BBS SysOps and computer businesspeople talking about the Internet and how it was really time to invest in the future. I knew they were right, since I had already been using IRC for a year and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I think everyone in that room either started an ISP or invested in one of the other ISPs started. Except, of course, the 14-year-old. Then they all got bought out by like Comcast or whatever. drat.

I tend to use Something or Nothing as my SSIDs, so I get up pop-ups saying "You are connected to Something" or "You are connected to Nothing." It amuses me.

I was on a raid years ago with the federal police at a business centre - a place like a campus where various companies could share accommodation and office resources. Anyway, half way through the day a young guy comes up to us from another area and asks us if we're the federal police and if our wifi is the one named "Federal Surveillance Van". So there you go, that old joke actually had a pay-off.

I set up a friend's WLAN in the Student Village, and years later heard some stranger talking about how they used to have a neighbour in the SV whose network was called TURSKAPERSE ("Cod arse") and I felt proud I'd made an impression.

I sometimes read conspiracy groups on Telegram for a laugh and in one post the were discussing how they found a Wifi network called something like "Covid-19 Vaccine Nanobot surveillance network" and that its proof that Bill Gates is controlling us all with 5G nanobots in the Vaccine.

I named my 4G puck in the desert in 2016 "Huawei to the Danger Zone" and that's the proudest I've ever been of an SSID.
