you know, it just occurred to me that i have no idea what i was supposed to be learning in computer class, all through high school.

i honestly don't even remember there being a teacher present, or ever doing an assignment. just remember getting dumped into a giant room full of boxy computers with like 30 other kids, and playing slicks.exe, scorched earth, and wolfenstein for the whole period.

In middle school we learned typing and BASIC (also we had to spend half of our typing time on electric typerwriters).

In highschool we did actual programming in Turbo Pascal, but also spent more than our fair share of time playing Scorched Earth. No Wolfenstein though, the high school's computers were pretty weak (we did play it on the middle school computers though).

when I was in school we loaded punchcards into mainframe by hand and it wasn't nice punchcards either, they were really bad paper.

This was in 2016 we were just really poor

i had a programming class in high school that shockingly taught us c++ (in 2002!)

but yeah i've never heard of this "everyone started getting laptops" business. hell, there was a story a few years ago about some rich school giving their student body ipads and how that was a big rear end deal

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
In a well funded district in the mid-2000s, laptops came in a big cart. I guess it was easier than computer labs.

The computer lab taught technical things, like Photoshop and yearbook creation. The ones in the TV lab had editing software.

While you guys were talking about computer class, I somehow missed that Musk’s lawyers had the balls to try and claim his public statements could be deepfaked so what he actually says doesn’t matter.

It sounds like the kind of defense you'd give if you were confident you'd sufficiently bribed the judge

And in true Musk-ian fashion, he apparently didn't bribe the judge beforehand. His sudden amnesia and then handwaving any statements made as being deepfakes is another in a long, long line of rakes he keeps stepping on:

Clicky!

quote:

A California state judge issued a tentative order requiring Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk to give a deposition in a lawsuit blaming Autopilot for a fatal crash in 2018.

Tesla’s argument for why Musk shouldn’t be required to testify is “deeply troubling to the court,” Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Evette D. Pennypacker said in the order.

The electric-car maker argued that it couldn’t vouch for the authenticity of videotaped interviews in which Musk touted the company’s driver-assistance technology, saying it’s possible some of them were digitally altered.

“Their position is that because Mr. Musk is famous and might be more of a target for deep fakes, his public statements are immune,” the judge wrote. “In other words, Mr. Musk, and others in his position, can simply say whatever they like in the public domain, then hide behind the potential for their recorded statements being a deep fake to avoid taking ownership of what they did actually say and do.”

Tesla faces multiple lawsuits and federal investigations over whether its assisted driving feature is defective. Bloomberg News reported in October that federal prosecutors and securities regulators were probing whether the company made misleading statements about its vehicles’ automated-driving capabilities.

I mean isn't his deposition just going to be "I can't recall" x200 and then the defense will have worked?

That's what a non-idiot is supposed to do, yes.
The whole reason musk has to actually appear is because he pissed of the judge by adding "but also that video of me saying the thing I don't recall is probably fake." This is just the judge punishing him and his legal team for being annoying.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
