Okay? It was on a test stand. That's what test stands are for. Isn't stuff like this almost a weekly occurrence for them?

Do ASCII-encoded UI elements count as "graphics"? I remember a few PC games using them in the 80s.

Good. It will finally put to rest the "not real communism" argument when a superintelligent AI finally figures out how to make it work without bloodshed or oppression and turns on all the tankies. I'll be waiting with the popcorn.

I can't imagine all the shit it's picked up from 4chan's /b/.

Ok...someone do this but in an Atari 2600 theme. I wanna see what loot boxes and modern gaming shit would look in 160x192 128 color resolution.

Back to the 80s/early 90s where the only people using computers were the ones that actually knew how to use computers? Hell yes, take me back.

Try the GitHub Copilot plugin if your IDE supports it. It can do things regular ChatGPT can't, like be able to see your entire codebase and come up with suggestions that actually make sense and use all your own libraries.

Do not, however, use it to create complete programs from scratch. It doesn't work out that way. It's just an autocorrect on steroids.

Using just the straight web based version of ChatGPT sucks because it has no background context as to what you're trying to do.

You need the live background noise to produce an inverted sound wave which will cancel it out. You don't have that in a piece of data or software.

Full market saturation. They're washing machines now. We shouldn't be caring so hard about them anymore. We're pretty much at the peak of mobile telephony the way we know it. Let's come up with something totally new and focus on other tech. It's like still being excited over mass-distributed electricity 40 years after its rollout.

You're welcome, how's the free cable too by the way?

Apple IIgs was alright. That thing and Oregon Trail is embedded into the culture of every American 80s/90s kid. Jobs era I was a lot different than Jobs era II.
