https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_signal It was invented in 1859 so nazis can gently caress right off with their dumb number/letter substitution system, hitler wasn't even born yet

They are, but this is more of a gender thing than a racism thing. 73 is for guys (best regards) while 88 is mostly used for women (hugs and kisses).

Data Graham posted:I remember when my friends would whisper the name ~MATROX MILLENNIUM~ in hushed tones, like it was the impossible holy-grail component that nobody could afford but if you somehow got one your computing experience would be TO THE MOON Those had much better picture quality than most consumer SVGA cards and were very expensive at the time. They're cheap now because there are faster cards for DOS gaming but for picture quality they couldn't be beaten (this is before HDMI and DP, everything was analog and quality mattered). You mostly saw them in Windows NT workstations. Woolie Wool has a new favorite as of 16:27 on Jan 12, 2024 |

Data Graham posted:That seems like a tradition they may want to revisit It is part of the Philips 92 codes where there are aliases for longer meanings that are converted to two numbers so you don't waste a lot of money when telegraphs were priced per character. If you want to want an "Answer promptly by wire" , you just transmit "44". There are also codes in there to help or warn about the quality between the people on the wire to help with possible or activd communication problems. during a transmitting session someone might send a "17" which means "Lightning here" which can corrupt the message and might prepend the message with a " 24" which means to " repeat this back" so they can confirm the message got through correctly. This coding system was created in 1879 so that coding system was made before the world's most petulant child was born. Here's a page where it has all possible 4668 codes including the special 92 codes including a search on the codes and a message conversion application which converts a message to the system Time to research: it took only ONE Google search of "88 radio code" to find out it wasn't Nazi related. I mean, drat, people assumed FAST it def a secret Nazi cabal

Are you non native english speakers or something? I feel like at some point you've had to run across some sort of media that had a letter or a card that had "XO XO" on it.

remembering the people freaking out that seven segment displays were show with all the lights active, and all those 8s in a row has to be a cryptic nazi code

It’s sad that there are still enough Nazis that people have become very familiar with spotting Nazis, and also that the world being so lovely has broken some people’s brains enough that they now just see Nazis everywhere they look

Some people's obsession with finding 14 and 88 in EVERYTHING is bordering on numerology at this point.

it was numerology from the get go, I'll be very surprised if some of the nazi party elite weren't looking for auspicious numbers as the Wehrmacht got kicked in the teeth, the arse and crouch.

Coincidentally 420 is Hitler's birthday and the birthday of the guy who killed Hitler.
