    1944 "Broadway Rhythm"

    Said friend then played some AI enhanced electric K-pop auto-tune nightmare and told me it was "epic". I put this on and just told him to sit and watch it, then tell me about "epic". He said he'd never seen that before. I believed him

    1944 "Broadway Rhythm"

    I just showed that clip to a friend who is down here working today, and he wondered why that would be in a movie. I showed him the date, and it didn't mean anything to him, he's yet another victim of the public school system, having graduated just a few years ago. Then I explained that that...

    BBC: "The people stuck using ancient Windows computers"

    The OS on the office machines my eye doctor runs on is based on 7. They still have it because the new system they were looking at couldn't access the patient database attached to the old system. They'd lose a dozen years or more of medical and billing records if they installed a new system, and...
