It's 2013. Do people still use dial-up?

Probably not that many. Nowadays that mostly means to be mindful of users using mobile devices and those who have data limits. It wouldn't be a good idea to post a massive image with a file size of 10MB, for example.

It's 2013. Do people still use dial-up?

Yes of course, some people who live in the country that doesn't have cable or dsl setup in the area yet. A friend of mine lives in the country and use dial-up for their internet surfing.. so they use internet in small usages depending on their phone plan until cable/DSL finally arrive in their town.

I lived on the farm many years ago, that we didn't have a water line so we used the water well for kitchen, bathroom, etc. We used to have the water trucks deliver water to us. Now, they have the water line installed in that area.

My latest addition: Logitech G700 gaming mouse. I love it so far!

Anyone with a data-limited plan should turn off image downloading if they are worried about running over. Or simply not go to a thread that is basically ALL IMAGES.

or use Wi-Fi to do it

You should bring it over so i can hold it!

I'm thinking about replacing my razer naga epic. I never use the damn buttons. I have zero problems with it though other than the horrible and annoying razer software.

But i think a mouse like this would better serve me :D

let me touch it, just for a little, please.

where I got it they had a killer deal on it..... but it's 10$ more now so I had good timing LOL.

I hurridly snapped this tonight so the quality is pretty meh. I will try to remember to take a few shots tomorrow to give a better idea. I'll get inside my PC as well.

There are three computers in the shot, but only one is connected to the screens.

The one in the far left (Silver Cosmos) is my server, not too far from that is my rig (Antec Eleven Hundred), and tucked under my desk is some work machine used for work at home.

I need to find something to do with that SSD that has been sitting on my desk for a few weeks now...

You can give me the SSD. I want one dedicated to my VMs.

I was thinking of using it as a Linux boot disk and I could do Linux on that SSD and have Windows 7 on my current SSDs. I'll have to figure it out though. It originally was in my laptop, but I sold that and upgraded to a newer laptop. In that newer laptop I opted for a mSATA SSD with caching instead of a full blown SSD. I then put that SSD into my wife's computer, which has no SSD, and she gave it back to me and told me to just leave her with a HDD based setup.

I know... How could anyone turn down and SSD...

    • Stopped using Windows as my main workflow. Migrated completed to Linux. Been happier than a clam without a single issue nor windows annoyance. Leaving Windows has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather I went through the tunnel and I'm already at the light.
    • AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179 by Taras Buria Apple's third-gen AirPods Pro 3 introduced a few important upgrades over the previous generation while retaining the old $249 price. Still, that is quite a lot of money for a pair of earbuds, but the good news is that right now, you can save quite a lot of money on them, thanks to a new all-time low price. AirPods Pro 3 retain their classic look and form factor, with changes focused on the inside. These earbuds now come with five sets of foam-silicone tips, which sit much more securely in your ear, making the earbuds a perfect choice for physical activities and workouts. Additionally, new tips provide better passive noise cancellation. Speaking of noise cancellation, ANC is now much better at blocking outside noise, with Apple claiming the AirPods Pro mute up to two times more sound than the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 3 also have heart rate sensors for activity tracking during workouts. They also support Live Translation and Hearing Aid mode. As for battery life, you get up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the case adding 20 more. The case supports wireless (Qi or Apple Watch charger) and wired charging over USB Type-C (cable not included).

    • Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.
    • I totally agree no one should trust governments AND big tech companies that have near monopolies in certain market segments. The difference is of course citizens at least have some say in government. Yes, requiring Apple to open up Sirsi to other AI backends is in the interest of EU customers and certainly "opens" up the platform a crack. What are you saying? I wish the US would regulate tech companies more here and even break them up in some cases. Granted trusting the government to do it right is a crap shot at best but what is the alternative? To allow a few tech companies to continue to run everything and just print money? It's crazy to me for example that in most of the world 99% of communications go thru Facebook servers via WhatsApp. What kind of dystopian world are we living in?
    • You can.. make sure you have ADB tools on whatever OS you are running, plug your phone into your PC give it approval to talk to the phone then run this command. adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome So long as you leave Android Webview untouched it wont break anything on your Phone to do this. I have been using exclusively Firefox mobile since it was released.
