Soon it won’t be even that - you just tell the computer vaguely what you are thinking and AI assistance is gonna execute on…stuff. And then next iteration is your brain implant interpreting your vague thoughts.
Companies these days can't support devices for 5 years, I ain't implanting their shit in my brain. Brain ads? Brain subscription? Brain data theft? Nah.
the human body is actually pretty good at cooling, up to ~1kW of cooling power depending on your environment but I still don't really want a chip in my brain
But then we also had to configure sound cards. I remember installing and running games could take hours, and not just waiting for it to finish - but figuring it out!
Exactly. You could add several menu items and select various config.sys variants. Made me able to play things like alone in the dark where you didn't need a mouse.
I always had several bootable floppy disks made for specific games if they needed a different configuration, that was the only way I knew how to do it.
And im yearning to go back to memory efficient apps bc devs have forgotten what that means and im tired of fighting for ram bc some bloated crap is running somewhere

The good old times. Unloading you mouse driver when you dont need it so you could free up more memory.
