Who else first saw/read about these in Jurassic Park?
Trackballs are good for Pong and Breakout. That’s about it.
I dun’ been piratin since the days of napster.
Metallica wants to know your location
Go recycle that piece of shit tumor you call a capsule currently stuck dead to the side of our space station too. Turn it into beer cans.
HE’S GOING FOR THE FOLDING CHAIR!
If this was 1988, I’d agree with you, but I didn’t buy a 12 core CPU and modern GPU so that I could program in 80 column text mode. To my fellow Linux users: it’s okay to use a GUI. Really. True power lies in being able to leverage that AND the terminal at the same time.
gcc, an IDE, and make are my only must-haves. Those might not be your “must-haves” though.
It’s eventually going to have to be stored in plaintext somewhere. Where are you then putting the encryption key for the encryption keys and how do you start the chain of decryption without the first key?

Next up in the dystopian cyberpunk pipeline: in-brain data encryption technology with a programmed tamper killswitch. Like that shit in the movie “Elysium”.
Aren’t you guys loving this ride so far?
I don’t know if this is conservatism anymore. My Grandfather was conservative, and he was an engineer. He would have loathed the amount of misinformation and straight up lies being flung around these days. As much as his views were disagreeable, he never tried to manipulate or lie to anybody and always wanted to get to the truth of things. This is something else.
1980s: Hey guise, computers are now cheap and small enough that you can run an entire system and all your programs on your own machine at home instead of having to dial in to the mainframe!
2010s: No, we’re putting it all back on the servers, you get a thin client.

It was fine when it was contained to an actual web site instead of infecting desktop software too. To me, using JS for that purpose feels like using PHP to write a 3D video game.
Jesus, an entire town falling for unscientific bullshit.
It’s also not like they’re going to point the antennas straight down at the school. They have directionality. I bet not one RF engineer was consulted.
I’d like to walk these people through the school with an inductive amplifier probe and let them hear the 60hz hum and its harmonics permeating every hallway and classroom.
For every bleeding edge GPU and CPU, there are thousands of simpler ICs still in use. Microcontrollers, logic gates, opamps, etc. There’s no reason to produce those at the smallest feature size possible.
