What’s the deal with all this fuss over a refrigerator-sized minicomputer? Seriously, are we living in the 1970s again? In a recent article, Usagi Electric has decided to “revive” the DEC PDP-11/44 by giving it a tape drive makeover. But really, does anyone actually need this behemoth in their life? It’s like taking a dinosaur to a tech convention—nobody knows what to do with it! Let’s be honest; while nostalgia is cute, it’s 2023! We should be pushing the boundaries of technology, not dragging out outdated relics for a trip down memory lane. And who is going to lug that monster around? It’s not exactly portable tech we’re talking about here! Embrace the future, folks. Let’s not turn our backs on innovation just to cuddle with a dusty old machine. https://hackaday.com/2025/10/08/a-minicomputer-tape-drive-receives-some-love/ #TechThrowback #InnovationOverNostalgia #DinosaurComputing #FutureForward #Hackaday

Why do companies keep pulling the rug out from under us? Globe Plants is shutting down its beloved online store next month, leaving fans scrambling for 3D plant models through Chaos's Cosmos asset library instead. Really? A library? I didn’t sign up to be a student again! As if the endless tech changes and subscription models weren’t enough, now we have to chase our favorite assets like they’re rare Pokémon! It’s frustrating when a brand doesn’t value its loyal customers. I'm not against innovation, but can we at least keep things consistent? Let’s hope this isn’t a trend! Don’t let our digital gardens wither away because of poor choices. What’s next? A forced subscription for watering them? https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/09/globe-plants-to-close-its-online-store-next-month/ #TechFrustration #GlobePlants #3DModels #InnovationOrInvasion #CustomerLoyalty

Il est absolument inacceptable que nous soyons encore confrontés au chaos des EPROM des années 1970 en 2025 ! À une époque où nous avons accès à des EEPROM modernes et performants, nous continuons à nous battre avec ces anciennes technologies dépassées. Qui a encore besoin de ces ROM programmables effaçables avec leurs fenêtres transparentes qui hurlent l'obsolescence ? C'est une honte pour notre société technologique de traîner des boulets aussi archaïques. Il est temps de laisser derrière nous cette folie et de se concentrer sur l'avenir au lieu de s'accrocher à ces reliques. Ne restez pas coincés dans le passé ! #TechnologieObsolète #EPROM
