Ah, you mean like the sync that Palm OS used to have? Yup, that was neat, and I’m still waiting for Android to pick up some of the neat features from back then.
Am definitely human.

I carry some because it’s no longer a thing. My card has only the information that I know will not change: my name, email address, and mobile phone number. On the back there’s a QR code (which contrasts the otherwise vintage look).
I hand out perhaps one per month so not super often, and many times the most appropriate thing to do is to simply tell people my phone number. But sometimes, especially when we’re in a situation where phones are not nearby, it’s quite effective to hand over a pre-made card with that info.
The average reaction is “Oh, cool” so even if they toss it once they’ve copied the info (which, tbh, is my expectation) it will still have made the exchange slightly out of the ordinary.
Plus, sometimes they’re useful to stop a table from rattling, or leave a message for someone who’s not currently present, and so on.
Sorry to nitpick… Tinnitus is more likely to introduce high-frequency sound than the 440Hz dial tone. If anything, that is the one frequency that old-timey phone techs would eventually struggle to hear…
Right? For me, the realisation struck when we left the hospital: two people go into a building, three people come out. Carrying my baby daughter was such a crazy experience that first day.
^((nevermind the mathematician’s observation of “if one more person were to enter, the building would be empty again”))

ℹ️ “exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical”
ℹ️ “lacking enthusiasm and determination; carelessly lazy”
ℹ️ “bitter and abusive”, as in a comment or other way of communicating
“optimal frustration” (one single word in several languages that aren’t English)
Something is too easy? Easily bored.
Something is altogether too difficult? Feels hopeless.
Optimal frustration is where the magic happens, be it in education or a computer game.

Oh that is hilarious! Just on my first listen but I don’t quite get the lyrics - am deeply disappointed that the video doesn’t have subs. 🤭
Found it on Spotify. It’s so much worse with lyrics. Thank you for sharing a version without them! 🙏
Dragging a floppy to the bin would simply eject it… 🤷 Well all right, maybe the story is from before the intro of the “Insert disk Foo”.
Seconded.
I’ve read most of folklore.org and do not recall any such story. In fact, how do you even “drag the computer to the waste basket” as the first/only icon would be the System floppy and afaik they’ve never had / still don’t have a “computer icon”. 🤔
The article describes this as"prop money", but doesn’t give further details.
If you’re curious, Adam Savage has a number of videos from Hays Press explaining actual prop money.

What I am really looking for is beyond our email, it’s proper integration between calendar, contacts, and map.
I want to be able to share calendars with my family, and link contacts from certain events (birthdays, meetings, and also just meet-ups). I want those contact’s addresses to be available as navigation destinations in the mapping app. I want to be able to bookmark (“star”) map locations.
That false
constructor parameter is golden.

First time around there was no option to skip them. Perhaps that’s a contributing factor to why they’re so good and re-watchable.
Oh yeah, definitely the Muppet Show as well! 👍
A lot of ATM cash machines run Windows 7. Yes, still.
