Remember when Google translate had options for Hillbilly, Jive and Swedish Chef.

We had fun back in the day and it shows

"all hosed up"? Are you sure that isn't the Canadian version?
onlyhalfghost
There are, in fact, Canadian rednecks.

I miss text panels.

Curses!

Well I'll be damned

Oh god, I heard my own voice reading this. What have I become?

I've only eve seen a few Youtube clips, but I "heard" Larry the cable guy when I was reading all of these.

HOLY SHIT! I had forgotten about that! XD Thank you for posting!

Mmm SCSI (Scuzzy) Small Computer System Interface.

I think IBM should bring this back

That’s awesome, I wish would have tried it one time and been surprised.

That reminds me of thedialectizer. Redneck, fudd, jive- translate to all! http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/

Translating trump tweets is fun. "moron" does not work, comes out the same.

what in tarnation is this hippy xwindow shenanigan?
SkamanSam
Fun fact, Redneck was used to develop the internationalization features of the RedHat Installer, and later, the whole OS.
StarDangerous
Well tarnation, I reckon that we are in a whole mess of beans. Ain't nothing but a job for those fellas at that computer shop.
wyrde
There was also the Magic Smoke reference in the HCL fun times until RH got "serious" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_smoke
wyrde
also, one of the download options on the support website was "tarballs"
Lierofox
Now Red Hat is all like... Enterprise Grade Professional and bullshit
mikeatike
They are owned by IBM, so yeah.
insegrevious
That's not the why though...
Chrono2055
They were that way before we bought them
mikeatike
Yeah, its probably why IBM bought them.
Chrono2055
Eh. Kinda. We bought it to further empower our cloud services and the open source software that empowers it.
JKGoose
Ubuntu is the new Red Hat
Lierofox
How's Fedora these days? I settled into Slackware back in 2004 and just kinda stayed there.
gungunmeow
Buggy, but coreos fedora is pretty cool if you want to run an os that’s mostly containerized apps
CaffeineManic
I swear, the early days of computing were wild and fun. Plus updates actually WERE improvements.
howToLoseTheGame
On linux, not actually. you'll gonna spend half of your time finding a compatible driver.
WhattaYaLookingFor
Can confirm. We wrote business software in Turbo Pascal (don’t ask) and next to English, Spanish, and German we added Viennese — because.

Every time windows updates, photoshop decides it doesn’t want to open files or create new ones. Thanks Adobe! Thanks Microsoft!
Sarpedan
my pc WINDOWS WILL UPDATE NOW! 2-3 hours later at 99% WINDOWS HAS DETECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE UPDATE PLEASE TRY AGAIN
russrob84
Exactly, everything so fresh and new....people are really spoiled now and don't understand how truly innovative most technology was/is.

Remember when excel amd word had hidden pinball and flight simulator in them? That was the shit
AnythingMuchShorter
Back then when you got an update "holy shit, finally!" now "holy shit! Again?"
CaffeineManic
More like, "NO, NO! Don't install that!" Or, "Did they finally fix that thing the forums have complained about for 5 years? NOPE!"
AnythingMuchShorter
"Is it going to stop having my horse randomly explode and lose all my stuff?" "14.55.1:in app purchases occasionally not charged, resolved"

The newest nvidia drivers forgot to include the fucking control panel of all things
russrob84
LOL, I hope AMD graphics start kicking them in the nards like they are doing to Intel right now. Competition is a good thing for all.
rv6502
Main issue for me with ATI/AMD graphics has always been the drivers stability. Has improved a LOT after AMD bought them but still a bit iffy
buttbuttpartywagon
And gaming was great too, I miss old school expansion packs vs dlc
phantomeye
When I was a kid I bought Zoo tycoon with dinos. The excitement was soon killed by realisation you need the main game. So I pirated it ...
BenSnow97
just wish everyone did it like Witcher, Blood and Wine is a friggin masterpiece and beats 50% of the games out there by itself

BenSnow97
sadly, that's one thing everyone actually does in the gaming business, unlike good DLCs
FirePrinceZuzu
I mean, it still is, but it was great then too.

Linux still is

I remember when a video card update would break everything
ObsLamprey
I once burned out a video card after installing a mod to increase performance in need for speed. Can't do that anymore, stupid nanny state.
AnythingMuchShorter
You might get an extra 5 fps and get Descent running. You might brick your entire system. Gotta spin that revolver and pull the trigger.
rv6502
Or having to move the mouse to get data from the modem because you ran out of IRQs and one card drove rather than pull the signal up.
snoogans671
And sound cards breaking keyboards because they used the same IRQ
urukhello
IRQ jumpers. PNP was the crazy wizardry we never deserved
AnythingMuchShorter
And sound cards that also provided your joystick port
CaffeineManic
Not like now, where your favorite function is suddenly buried five menus deep by the latest upgrade.
energeticEchos
And doesn’t work the same once you find it
vanfem
at least now you've got the round avatars you've always wanted

Airplane mode in Windows 10 is a crime against humanity.
SithElephant
'Oh - you never wanted that function, so we removed it'.
PoorBoyChevelle
I swear to god Microsoft makes the system/device settings progressively harder to access every update
CaffeineManic
Oh yeah. I've installed and removed Win10 four times because of my disgust with that. Still rocking Win7 despite vulnerabilities.
valen00
When they kill off the old control panel completely a lot of computers are going to get binned for software problems I think
Talligan
*shakes fist at office where I now need three extra buttons to choose a folder when saving*
SgtKnux
Ugh, preach
nemo3590
What, you don't want to automatically save absolutely everything to OneDrive???
GerberLegalTeam
Photoshop does that crap when I wanna save now. "Wait, do you really want to save this your computer?"
TheSomethingSomethingGenericReplyGuy
What kind if "maniac anti cloud" usage is this heresy? What's next? Local mp3 and mkv files instead of streaming services?
xMalkav
I suddenly realize why it's so hard to pira-LEGALLY PROCURE music these days. Huh. Fuck my antiquated preferences, I guess.
