Computers are too powerful and too cheap. Bring back COBOL, painfully expensive CPU time, and some sort of basic knowledge of what's actually going on.

Pain for everyone!

But the stories of Russians under my bed stealing my washing machine's CPU are totally real.

Good, do Fark next.

Did you just make up "hate" from an imaginary argument you made up? I am simply baffled by the behavior and "needs" of people these days. In what universe is limiting "remote streaming" a problem? How many hours a day do you need to be entertained for?

It's more like I'm surrounded by compulsive hoarders and chronic upgraders, for what? You can't watch any more movies than you have conscious free hours in a day. I don't get it anymore.

Computers used to solve problems, now they are the problem.

I thought you were going to say "by wearing a kilt".

Or... we could learn to code software so the average mouse driver doesn't require a gig of free RAM, 10 gigs of swap space, and 15 CPU cores?

Just a thought.

So how am I supposed to get pictures of absurdly obese gaily dancing IT nerds in kilts now!?

Sorry, I didn't read your reply, I was streaming every movie, album, book, and magazine in existence to every location in the universe at all times. Even when I blink I have 16K screens inside my eyelids.

This is normal behavior in 2025. If you cut off my terabit stream, I will writhe on the ground and scream.

I am not in any way addicted to digital hoarding or continuously upgrading systems that have already exceeded the capacity of any normal person to watch a movie since 20 years.

Said the needle to the arm. You're all addicts.

With the price of produce?

Seems pretty simple to parse, what is causing you an issue? What is not clear?
