You guys with your stacked terabyte HDD’s. I’ll stick to the 1.44 MB not so floppy disks, conveniently strung together with a little help of ARJ. Even has a read only switch for eternal storage. Who needs blockchains.

you techies with your advanced devices. pfffft

still rockin my TRS-80 and C64 cassette drives.

my Columbia IBM clone has a cassette interface too but i never used it. those full height 5.25 floppies were the bomb.

EDIT the TRS-80 also had several 8 inch floppies hooked to it at one point.

Oh those times...

Code:

LOAD ZAXXON,8,1

<10mins waiting, enjoying sound of tape slowly moving>

LOAD ERROR

Afternoon spoiled.

[machasm]

This little dump is a bit premature.
Still a week to go before the halving.
Maybe whoever it is is hoping to scoop up some cheap coins if any noobs follow his lead.
Don't be fooled gentlemen the long term future is bright.
Keep HODLING.

oh man yup, C64 fun times.

the TRS-80s displayed 2 asterisks when loading from tape, one blinked whenever a <CR> was read. i remember building a filter for the cassette recorder i used. you kept fiddling with it till the 2nd asterisk blinked more or less regularly.

EDIT: wasnt the 8 for the disk drive and the 1 meant load at a specified addy provided by the program (not the standard addy it would default to if it was BASIC or something).. been a while.

arbitrage bots

With lightning fast connections. Its all about the tiniest split of a second.

Add to that front running because they can get in first too. (Some even have direct links to or equipment within an exchange)


Just  like in gaming they win with their ping.

While in my head it goes:
Peek'n Poke, Peek'n Poke, Peek'n Poke...
all the time  

Today i finally jumped it and threw my money at an Asus Zenbook UM431 with a Ryzen5 (Good bye, Intel - i hope i won't miss u).
Mainly because of the slightly bigger dimensions than the newer UM433 models and the better bottom vent placement.
At about $600 without windoze, it's OK for me, but that's still some fiat i didn't invest into corn, on the other hand.

I hope you got 16 GB RAM. 8 GB just doesn't cut it anymore. Ryzen laptops are nice.

You are totally right, I am sorry. 8 is first floppy, 9 second floppy etc, 1 is for the datasette. *
Must have been more than a week since I played Zaxxon from datasette (the cool guys run it from floppy nowadays)

my buds and i wasted more time playing Archon on the c64 than just about anything else i can remember doing from back in the day. wore out several joysticks just on that one game until i bought the Big Red Stick (i think that was the name)

best game ever.

time to fire up an emulator. maybe build an proper arcade cabinet.

Ah, the screenshot rang a bell but was not into it much.  Though I wasted half my youth in front of a C64, notably I never played again really after that.
Regarding joystick killing,
Decathlon was unbeatable in that regard. One afternoon with friends and the microswitches in the joystick were done for good.



In retrospect it was a really stupid game, but great for competition between friends and perfect training for later in youth when similar hand movement without joystick started to prevail.

Not looking forward to it but this is also my default scenario.

Meh, wake me up in a couple years, the constant hand wringing over short time scales is tiring. Anyone who thinks we'll pump ATH right at the halving hasn't done their due diligence. I'm not worried. BTFD.

Elon Musk is selling his two houses (worth about $40 mil in total) and saying, ostensibly, that he would have "no possessions" because:

1. he thinks that we are at a RE top
2. he became a "revolutionary" [after mouthing off something something about "fascists"]
3. he is moving to China
4. he is selling TSLA to some Middle Eastern sheiks and would move there (Dubai?)
5. he is moving to Mars
6. he merged with AI and is about to control us all
7. he is having a midlife crisis
8. he is using RE sales to fund his BTC purchases.

What's it going to be? Please come up with %% of probability if you like.

He did tweet out "TSLA stock is a bit too high" in his opinion and it suddenly dropped. Then right after said he was selling his house(s).
I think being in pandemia for a month he got bored and wanted to screw around with stock holders for a bit.

Maybe he'll get back to being CEO of Dogecoin if he was trolling all his twitter followers to tank the companies stock.
Then we can really start to have some fun in the next 6 days.

Simple (and possibly really "noob") question about exchanges:

I’m sorry .... I was one short to hero your ass

Thanks man!

Wow, soon to have 5 coins in my badge!

Hope we reach the same amount of digits very soon!

It's nice to see that the constant hats on the thread go up in rank.
Congrats! AlcoHoDL
