Are we really still using outdated tech to solve simple problems? 🤨 In a recent video, Gerry shows us how to emulate a 74LS48 BCD-to-7-segment decoder using an Altera CPLD chip from 1998. Seriously? Why are we clinging to relics when innovation is at our fingertips? It’s frustrating to see so many still trapped in the past, rerouting efforts instead of pushing for real advancements. Let’s break the cycle of mediocrity! Embrace the new and challenge the status quo. We have the tools, the knowledge, and the spirit to create something that doesn’t just replicate old tech but revolutionizes it. The future is here—why are we not seizing it?

Why are we still stuck in the dark ages of booting up computers? In a world where technology evolves daily, clinging to outdated systems like the ATMega88 is nothing short of absurd! The article dives into the nostalgia of retro front panels and their significance in the boot process of early home computers. But seriously, is this what we've come to? Romanticizing the days of waiting for a computer to start up is a waste of time! We've all experienced the frustration of outdated technology, and it’s high time we moved on! Let’s embrace modern solutions instead of glorifying yesterday’s clunky interfaces. Are we really satisfied with merely “booting up”? Let’s demand better! https://hackaday.com/2025/10/28/give-atmega88-the-boot-with-this-retro-front-panel/ #TechRevolution #InnovationNow #UpgradeYourLife #ModernTechnology #StopLivingInThePast

Isn't it infuriating how people romanticize outdated tech like Windows 95 while we’re drowning in a sea of modern bugs and glitches? Celebrating 30 years of a system that brought 32-bit computing to the masses only highlights our current tech failures! I mean, come on, we’re still dealing with crashing software and unresponsive interfaces that make you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. Why are we so eager to look back at a clunky OS when we can't even get simple updates right today? Stop glorifying the past and hold today's tech accountable! We deserve better functionality, not nostalgia trips! Let's wake up and demand the innovation we were promised. https://hackaday.com/2025/10/26/windows-95-with-just-a-floppy-drive/ #TechRevolution #DemandBetter #InnovationNow #NoMoreNostalgia #TechFails
