ROM October 1977

While the scanned copy of this issue online has handwriting on its table of contents mentioning some pages are missing including the cover story, the excerpts from Joseph Weizenbaum's Computer Power and Human Reason do get to his infamous description of "the compulsive programmer," recognizable as the "hacker" first famous at MIT. The back cover was a Radio Shack ad for the TRS-80.

I did maintenance on my PC for the first time. Was scary to open it up and be unsure if I would brick it completely without even noticing. Changed the coolant, replaced the thermal paste, brushed off the fan blades, and blew out the dust.

It’s been working better since I did it, so I must’ve not done anything horribly wrong at least. It’s a customized build at least 6 years old that I bought from some dude who wanted to start a new build, so it was a little over due.

I think I’m gonna try to have a little more confidence in myself. And change the fluid more regularly cause that stuff looked HORRIBLE.

Hey, bro, listen.

Use a toothbrush to clean the dust and hair off that fan vent.

It's cheap and efficient.

look, idk what scent this is, but it smells just like my grandma. its whatever they put as the scent of the Magic Clean Jelly. it smells like the combination of her shampoo, her lotion, her perfume... it is the most comforting smell in the world. so of course I'm just huffing this slime shit like its a god damn daisy.

Someone please tell me how to get rid of Microsoft 365 Copilot.

I did NOT sign up for this.

I will NOT have AI watching my every move.

I'm sick and tired of AI creeping everywhere.

Leave me in peace.

Corporate office worker!Ghost. The big guy huddled over the computer in the cubicle next to you muttering to himself, fingers too big to reasonably use the allotted keyboard, always in and out of HR because every time he opens his mouth at the water cooler he’s spouting a new morbid joke, but his work speed is unmatched and he’s incredibly competent so they can’t get rid of him— you’re almost sure he’s losing his mind and every lunch he’s staring at you across the break room through hollow, tired eyes like you’re the thing he really wants to eat.

Gutting my PC to replace the graphics card.

Only to discover that my new graphics card is literally as long as my pc case. What a snug fit…. If we can get it in there.

Looks like it’s winning, tho. We’ve removed like… 4 of the 6 fans. And have had to insert and remove the damn graphics card multiple times because the last bit of it. Just. Won’t. Lay. Flat. Inside. The. Case!

I love when downloading a mysterious .exe file from GitHub to solve a hyper specific problem actually solves the hyper specific problem instead of being malware. It makes me feel good about my life choices.
