Top-3 easily all dogs.

Then the rest is a few horses, a few birds and maybe one person.

I wouldn’t presume my relationship with cats.

I would very much prefer actual physical buttons to write with.

I’m impatient and write fast and the tactile feedback is so shit I use the mid correction after seeing it’s the correct one but often I misclick and don’t proofread so I end up with a lot of silly mistakes.

(I do proofread emails and whatnot but like not mobile posted Lemmy comments)

And you know what this thing could do?

It had FM radio and you had the capacity to record songs off the fking radio. In 2003. That was beyond crazy. I mean you can do that at home with a cassette player, but since this had a radio and recorder, it was basically one of those boomboxes people’s carried around in the 80’s. Functionally, if only because you had earphones and listened to it yourself.

Although the quality would horrify the HiFi people, especially anyone under 30 or so. They weren’t mp3, more like AMR/ACR whatever have you. (A proprietary format called LSE).

I vividly remember the sights and smells of walking and listening to Eminem - Lose Yourself on a very specific path I used to walk in the woods.

Gods I miss being a kid.

Edit to make it clear about the phone, it was essentially an improved 3310 (the classic unbreakable nokia) with a different case so it had qwerty and a few other improved features (like I think even WAP basically which was like a very crude mobile internet) and a few added games, like the 3330 (which was this improved version but in a standard Nokia 3310 case, with very minor alteration of a few mm)

When I was a horny young man, I had this bad boy and a connection with “unlimited SMS to five chosen numbers” (you could then change those numbers but it’d cost you a little). It was only “unlimited” for the month it came out and the next month and then schools began and all us teenagers were texting each other in class under the table for absolutely no reason.

And the next month the “unlimited” became 1000 sms, to each of your five numbers or total I forget.

Fucking rofl. The dogs are more moral than those bastards.

3D cinema failed financially because people didn’t want to have to use simple basic glasses.

I have not heard anyone complain about the glasses, but tons of ppl complaining about the movies and tech quality.

Also btw currently there’s currently a 127g VR glasses available for PC, and Pimax is coming out with a set that’s some 180 I think (Dream Air) but also has eyetracking and whatnot.

But yeah mostly I do agree. I had the original vive and the annoyance of what were basically ski goggles that weighed a ton without any proper straps even was a bit much. It was cool though, especially once Ingot got the pro strap which had the more helmet config with the wheel at the back.

I’m thinking of perhaps seeing if I’ll get a set later this year to see how far it’s come in 8 years.

holding company that owns it (Prosus) is sued, since they’re headquartered in Amsterdam, but that seems incredibly unlikely.

Idk if theyre headquartered here maybe threes something in European laws idk.

Unlikely sure but I can wish it.

Although I like the company name.

May I suggest a European one?

Which is exactly the reason we are in a post discussing it.

Yeah exactly. And they’re not allowed to under the Creative Commons licence

90’s, definitely.

Which 80’s models mobiles are you thinking of, exactly?

2010s?

Laughs in Nokia

I think software is still engineered.

Perhaps as a compromise, non-software engineers could call themselves hardware engineers, or hard engineers for short.

Should bridge that gap in terminology. And ofc assumption should be “engineer” means “hard engineer” and software engineers should always specify they’re software engineers and not call themselves just engineers.
