Kid told me that he just watched “some crazy old movie” about how a kid hacked into NORAD.
I swear my kid thinks we were all hand starting our Ford Model-Ts before 2012 (his birthday).
Kinda like I perceive the 70s I guess. The dark ages, the before time before I existed.
My 10 year old niece asked me what my RJ45 wall socket was while I was fixing her mom’s computer.
“It’s for old telephones”
She then asked me if I had an adapter for it so she could charge her phone.
I almost died.
Rj11/12 are for telephones, rj45 is for ethernet
Those old POTS phone lines did carry a few volts.
Won’t work anymore. Our phone line is completely replaced with fiber. On the other hand i can’t remember any unwarned outages in the last 20 years.
PFY: “Hey, computers used to be all text just like that with no graphics, did ya know?”
BOFH: “No shit” uninstalls X/Wayland from PFY’s computer remotely
Ah memories from BOFH! I used to read that on the 90s
