Commodore 64 was cool

$899 in 1982 is equivalent to $2,451.59 in today's terms, based on inflation.

Atari SX212 and SupraModem 2400
$99.95

think the Atari was 1200 with the color monitor and some other shit, minus all the floppy disks and software and everything else at mid to late 1980s prices

totally agree, the only groups on planet earth above replacement levels are the ultra orthodox, old order amish, christian fundamentalists, wahhabis..etc

ww3 and no internet will spur a baby boom among basically everyone i assume though, they've studied this

when people think the world is ending they fuck like rabbits.
Apart from the (American) amish aren't these groups highly villainized?

Or is this some freak amish I don't know of.

yeah, usually by their own different religious sects and the other opposing religions

generally speaking though, they appear to be doing something right, the whole concept of deceleration has been slowly growing in the zeitgeist

mostly grass is always greener syndrome i guess, cause i sure as fuck don't want to wake up at 5am to milk cows and all the other simple life shit, but they are happier than the general population afaik from studies on it

The internet exposes you to the utter stupidity of most people which is very depressing so it makes sense

Game systems used to be like

first atari (whatever that was)

Then 8 Bit

Then 16 bit

Then 3D

But now we've been just basically playing PS3's with graphics card updates, since PS3

The next system totally should be "AI 3D generated images"

Prompt the game you want, play the game you've dreamed of.

Crazy.. I feel like we're so close to exponential changes.

rice,sumo, and the old folks apparently don't have 2FA on their brokerage account

place is suppose to be the shining civilization on a hill, did see they are about to tax the FUCK outta tourist though, smart

In May, 2,289 unauthorized transactions were logged, and ¥200 billion of fraudulent trades were made, the FSA said in a report released last week.

That's down from April's 2,910 illicit transactions and about ¥290 billion in fraudulent trading but still high by historical standards.

In essence, while physical qubits are the raw materials, logical qubits are the engineered, error-protected units that allow practical and useful quantum computation to occur. The goal in quantum computing research is to efficiently build more logical qubits with increasingly lower error rates.
