Before “blowing up” meant trending on Xitter

I’d say stuff before ~2000 is retro. It’s from the previous millennium after all, and that seems way older than stuff from just the last century!

Just “old”

I want to say something more cerebral and involved, but I’d be lying. It’s Brotato

I think I was specifically thinking if Rivian, with their monocoque built in such a way that if you sent the wing, the whole shell is pretty much a write-off, but what you say is irritatingly true.

As someone who lives in the countryside, and drives a small old truck for necessity, these people are a pain in the ass, and make everything worse for people like me. The trend for making trucks bigger, less easily repairable, with fancier interiors and plastic everywhere is driven by this idiotic posturing, not by the average person who actually uses them as the tool they’re supposed to be

It forgot “carry on with the shooting of morally bankrupt CEOs”, but I suppose you can’t blame it for not being bang up to date

I mean, it’s already half way there, all they got to do is make it funny

That’s what she said!

That’s the most useful thing anyone’s said so far, thanks. My current mini is hard enough to get at, as it’s under the back of the desk, so I’ve used this, as even though the power button is in a vaguely accessible place, there computer isn’t. Why would I want it taking up room on the top that could be used for synths I can’t play, and coffee I haven’t drunk?!

Ah, if I used a Mac keyboard then I’d probably have known that. I generally don’t really like Mac peripherals, I’ve got a full size mechanical keyboard and a thumb wheel mouse. I get that it’s not an insurmountable problem, but there’s only one face out of the six that you can absolutely guarantee isn’t going to be immediately accessible, so why put the only button on the whole machine on that face, as opposed to next to all the I/Os?

It looks like the foot/base bit isn’t tall enough to get a finger to the button without lifting the thing up. That seems daft to me. You’re having to move the whole unit about to push a button

I’m not an apple hater, I have a Mac mini. However, our power goes out fairly regularly in the winter, and it’ll get old having to get the thing out of the back of my desk at start it again pretty bloody quickly, it’s an obviously daft place to put it.

Only just though

Always.
