I commented "laptops don't get slow, software does" on a video on upgrading your laptop and WOW was I taken aback by some of the response.

People actually believe degrading thermal paste is to blame for a messenger app taking half a gig of RAM?

That the Epic games launcher takes ages to launch because it has so many features?

That a news website is downloading and interpreting a small operating system worth of code for-what-reason-exactly is the march of progress?

i have once again made the mistake of looking at the public timeline

"computers are war machines because they were developed to win world war 2" butter knives are war machines because they resemble a medieval sword

The semantic search engine of over 25,000 CD-ROMs from the Internet Archive is back:

DISCMASTER.TEXTFILES.COM is once again helping people discover long-lost computer history, forgotten images and music, and endless other buried treasures.
