He’s hunting for a chair.

I swear I think the orange fucker has orders to destroy this country to make it easier for Russia to take us over.

Well thanks for that mental image…

I remember the first time using my Treo 600. Its seemed like the future was hitting me know. It was amazing.

Now I wanna use my salad spinner to do this.

I just vomited a little…

Yeah the number of times this is being used just a couple of times to track people is likely mind blowing. And with little to no oversight or repercussions

If I had a kid in high school with this shit I would be fucking livid.

This shit again?

This is totally going to happen. And there is nothing you can do as far as spying with memory but I guarantee they will come up with some bullshit excuse related to that. I mean the only thing I can think of is some sort of kill switch but that would just kill the machine. Do that enough and nobody buys your RAM so what would be the point. Maybe just plain market manipulation but that’s pretty much happening now.

Yeah. Shit like this sorta reminds me of the reports I’ve been hearing about warranty replacements on drives. They don’t send you a replacement because that drive is worth twice what it was so they refund your money you originally paid. It’s almost like it’s turning into eBay and the highest bid.

🤮

Oh FFS, this shit again?!?

One of these days I’m gonna dive into Ringworld…

A Fall of Moondust maybe? thats the only one I can think of about moon dust. My favorite Clarke was probably the Rama series and of course 2001, 2010, 2061, and 3001. Honestly I liked the Rama series more but don’t tell anyone. So many Bradbury stories I read when I was younger (high school, college) but my two favorites are probably A Sound of Thunder and The Martian. I was so psyched about the movie for A Sound of Thunder (yes they made a movie) but it was just ok.

And speaking of impactful, have you ever read the short story “Think Like a Dinosaur” by James Patrick Kelly. Pretty sure I read this for a college class but I still think about that story to this day. And The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. Also think about this book a lot. No idea way. I guess I was impressionable at the time :)

You should make a list instead of just the pic. I’d love to see what else is there.

Of all time? … gees it would be hard to pick. I’m really enjoying DCC now so Dinniman is up there. Also enjoy Andy Weir. But in the past I would have said Arthur C Clarke or maybe Douglas Adams. Orson Scott Card, William Gibson, Asimov, Bradbury…. It really depends on my mood. But sci-fi and now litrpg are my go to genres.

In the pic it’s kinda hard to read the titles of some of the books (likely because I’m on my phone) but if you haven’t checked out He Who Fights with Monsters it is also a very good series. And you absolutely have to check out the audiobook for DCC. Jeff Hays is a god. I read the first book and then found the audiobook. It takes it to a different level.

I have a feeling we would be friends

No

Dude he’s showing signs right now.

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
