One of my favorite things about good standards aiming to displace bad standards is that they finally start becoming the norm right as they’re reaching the end of their life. 🙃

//Kind of wild that the only time I ever did anything with the charging screen in Lambda's room outside of making it in AC.NH a couple of years ago, so charging screen 2: enhanced edition!

Finally acquired an external hard drive so I can gif stuff again and not have to worry about storage space, but now that I actually have one, my mind is a blank slate on WHAT to gif.

a warning for any new people: please know that underneath all of my computerposting, especially anything about retro computing, that i am fetishizing old computers and "things i think are good" and "things i think are moé" are mostly two different circles

In all reality, the samurai would be less confused, because he has no preconceived notion for "doorbell" or "electricity" (or quite possibly "couch").

Whereas we had couches in 1970, but they didn't have any kind of power outlet, and doorbells either used standard batteries or hooked into the house power (directly or indirectly).

Someone else: "thats not USB-C"

Me: plugs it into my phone instead of the micro USB slot

Someone else: "oh"

I have repeated this exact scenario dozens of times. I'm thankful people offer up their micro USB cords when I need one, and I'm thankful we've standardized away from this god awful stopgap, but please people learn your USB standards.

Distressed kitten ringtone, from an old Samsung flip phone!

it's kind of sad that we don't really do custom ringtones anymore. most people just stick with the default list that comes with your phone, if they change it at all. if they're even aware they can change it at all. like yeah, people letting their phones ring in public is obnoxious, but wouldn't it be a little less obnoxious if it was something funny? or personal? people used to change the text tone of every contact so every time they got a text they knew who it was just from the sound. isn't that sweet? isn't that nice? don't you miss it? don't you want to scream when you hear that stupid apple pa-Ting!??? we could have a chorus of awoogas and clips of people's favorite songs and recordings saying '(blank) IS CALLING, WARNING, (blank) IS CALLING' and all things considered i would prefer that over pa-Ting!, pa-Ting!, pa-Ting!, whistle whistle, pa-Ting!

anyway im going to change my ringtone to the oldschool skype call sound and nobody will ever hear it because my phone is always on silent but i'll know. i'll know

new headphones arrive, i decide ill charge them + use the bluetooth (bcs they came with a cable!) its a usb c connector. i Lose My Shit because the reason i didn't charge the others was because it was micro hdmi(?) and i couldn't be fucked to buy a cable. split second went 'are you fucking kidding me were the others actually usb c the whole time?' they were not. important to note that these are the exact same headphones - same brand, model etc because theyre really good for £20
