I think what OP is trying to say is that people in their age range will end up being the last of those people, ie. the internet was one of their earliest memories and that happened to be right as it took off. A similar example from my age range, we will probably be the last to remember the WTC attacks as they happened. It’s one of the earliest memories I have. Not me specifically, unless I am graced with an incredibly long life, but someone around my age who is.

Moose@moose.bestto Technology@lemmy.ml•Is there such a thing as a flexible metal laptop cord protector?3·3 months agoYeah, there are a few options for cable covers but none that I think would be great here. Expando loom will stop cable abrasions, but probably not cat teeth. There’s split loom, but that is quite rigid and I think cats could bite through it still with enough will power. There are metal cable sleeves, but these usually aren’t for physical protection and are braided in the same way that makes expando loom a not great solution. I would try what someone else mentioned first and try coating the cable in a bitterant.
We all need a codeine cowboy now and again.
Shit, not quite as bad but this post reminded me I have clothes sitting in the dryer I wanted to hang up about 2 hours ago.
Moose@moose.bestto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the coolest thing you've found in a thrift store?12·2 years agoI had 2 great finds so far:
1: A David Clark noise cancelling aviation headset. It was used and a bit old but still worked perfectly. I was a student pilot at the time and was using the cheap headsets the school had so this was an awesome find. I think whoever put the pricing on it saw the weird plugs without knowing what it was and priced it at $5. I remember seeing them on ebay used for around $600.
2: A old network drive full of pirated content and porn from the early 2000’s. I don’t know what the fuck teenage me was thinking hooking this up to my PC without any idea what was on it but it ended up being a hilarious find. I think it was shared between a bunch of roommates as each folder was named after someone. It was an IDE drive so I made a backup (for reasons), wiped it, and now use it in a PS2. Think that was around $5 also.

Moose@moose.bestto Technology@lemmy.ml•[video] Fully levitating LK-99 sample claimed replicated11·2 years agoI’m still trying to not get too excited but its getting difficult with all the new videos and replications. We’re getting close to real world hoverboards!
Moose@moose.bestto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Men who piss on the toilet seat in public restrooms, the fuck is wrong with you?7·2 years agoWorse than that, we had a guy essentially miss the toilet while taking a shit in our work washroom. It was this larger construction worker and he must have sat down wrong somehow and shit went everywhere on and under the toilet seat. Guess who didn’t try cleaning up and left without saying a word? Fuck that was nasty…
Moose@moose.bestto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a technology/gadget you refuse to use and why?5·2 years agoYeah, I like having cameras but don’t want that video being sent elsewhere. I ended up getting Tapo cams which are cheap cloud cameras but they also have RTSP streams and local username / password settings. That means I can send the footage to a locally hosted NVR and lock the cameras behind a parental option in my router that blocks all external in and out communication to them.
Moose@moose.bestto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How familiar were you with the Fediverse before coming here?1·2 years agoI had a Mastodon account but didn’t really understand how it all worked, I thought it was only for Twitter like applications. I really like the concepts of self hosting stuff so when the Reddit strike happened and I found out what Lemmy was, I decided to try it out and have been learning along the way.
Someone else mentioned Habitica already, there are a few out there. I think they usually call it gamification. The only one I tried and was able to commit to was Walkscape (specifically gamifying getting out), although I’ve been slacking due to nasty winter weather.
