MeatsOfRage , in For some reason, I'm doubtful.

For context, the emachines “never obsolete” wasn’t referring to this computer, it was a recycling program where you could send your old machine back and get a huge discount on your next one. It was actually a pretty good deal at the time, especially when your average family machine was a lot more expensive than they are today

FlexibleToast ,

There were a couple of companies that tried programs like this. PeoplePC was another similar program. You would pay for their services and they would lease you a computer every 3 years.

CoderKat ,

I wonder how much of a discount OP can get when they send their machine back?

jarfil ,

If it’s in perfect condition, and they valued it based on second hand retrocomputing market prices… probably a nice chunk of cash.

These aren’t super valuable. You can get them for about 200-250 bucks.

pretty misleading tbh

Most of people use computers just for memes and emails, so yea, it is never obsoleted

Unaware7013 ,

How you gonna post memes on a machine that doesn't support modern browser protocols? This thing can't even load the Google home page or probably any Lemmy/kbin instance.

I mean, it’s not like they managed to get AI assistants running on win3.1 or anything…

People should appreciate old but serviceable hardware. There is nothing about net communication that exceeds what an 566mhz core can do. At that point it’s just a question about porting a TLS/SSL library…

I have a Nokia NGage with mobile browsing capability and the google homepage still works. I think it’s the only website that still works…

Damn son you got dem AGP graphics! At least that is 1 thing that can be upgraded.

Hubspot AI chat bot told me to go three levels deep into a menu that doesn’t exist, to click a button that doesn’t exist to enable a service that doesn’t exist to solve a problem I had.

My company pays a 5-figure yearly sum for this service 👍

Ookami38 ,

The way it was going, I thought you were going to solve a problem you didn’t have. Would be fitting.

funkless_eck ,

maybe I should start asking it impossible questions

“how do I stop contacts from enabling the email flange during the squeej phase of marketing?”

edit: gottem lmao

BellaDonna ,

This was incredible.

veroxii ,

As a hubspot user this is actually not surprising at all. In fact the only surprise is that they’re not requiring you to buy more Professional seats for the answer.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

Sound advice, but pro-tip: sometimes the email flange sticks and just needs oil. Salad dressing will work in a pinch.

AgentGrimstone ,

Sounds a lot like when I Google how to do something in Powerpoint.

technicalogical ,

I got to review some AI customer service chats and never did I see it handle an issue from start to finish. It was pretty decent at setting the table for the human element. Unfortunately, the human element fails way too often but that’s for another team to solve, lol.

I’m on a diet.

Off diet I’d eat them all.

Vespair , in Science

Every now and again I see a meme and my immediate thought is “I wish I had a time machine so i could take this meme and show it to somebody in 1980 and see how much it breaks their brain” This is one of those memes.

funkless_eck , in Choose wisely

there’s only Left Twixes and as I have been conditioned by marketing I will get angry as a joke

TimewornTraveler , in Now this is how you conduct a poll.

What really gets me is the comments here revealing how little Lemmy users understand the average human

Vespair , in Choose wisely

100 Grand, maybe a York if I’m in a real specific mood. The other options are for suckers.

I’ll do ya one better, I’ll grab this guy’s guy

neeeeDanke ,

Shardikprime ,

Its grabbing all the way down

Ziglin ,

I’ll grab it from this guy.

Mandy ,

im not a guy, checkmate

Ziglin ,

Great, I was thinking of critising you for calling the previous user in the chain a guy but decided just to go with it and look where that got me. I’ll have the bowl anyway though.

Fantasy is based upon the middle ages.

During the middle ages the US did not exist.

Iroquois Confederacy would like a word…

HardNut ,

The middle ages ended in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople, which coincided with the birth of the Renaissance in Italy having already taken place.

The Iroquois Confederacy was founded (most likely) in the 1500s, with the earliest record of the first capital being in 1609.

The United States itself was founded in the 1700s.

Their comment was correct, the Iroquois Confederacy was founded during the age of the Renaissance and our modern conception of America came much later

Hi,

This bug can easily be fixed by adding a few more dense layers and adding one specific correct input/output to the training set.

Thanks
