Maybe these people do have a sense of humour but your jokes just aren’t as funny as you think they are?

Fine, then don't laugh. Even mock me. Tell me not to quit my day job. I don't think somebody should lose their job/be banished from society because of a bad joke.

Yeah, someone with a sense of humor sees a bad/lame joke as something to riff on.

That's how dad jokes became a thing.

Most engines are also very aggressive at de-prioritizing abandoned sites, so most of the content from 90s essentially gone dark - it's indexed but cannot be found unless you know exactly what to look for.

Either way, it is funny that they claim to have millions of results, yet you can't go past Page 11.

At least it does go to eleven. Most amps only go to ten.

I hope that if you're being serious about 11 being the max, that it was a deliberate reference.

This is why computers used to have that cup holder that would slide out and give you a place to put it. When you weren't using it you could even put a music CD in it and it would play music right through your computer speakers!

I actually had a cup holder for a drive bay that was intended as one, it even had a cigarette lighter! https://sep.yimg.com/ay/yhst-39083765508394/thermaltake-x-ra...

Do they still sell these?

I find the PC hardware to be better too. Even dirt cheap PC laptops have touch screens with high quality pens included and are very easy to upgrade their RAM to 32/64 GB from Amazon.

Really? All the Windows laptops with good quality screens are priced similarly to their base model Mac equivalents. There are certainly no shortage of sub-$500 laptops, but they're priced that way for a reason. Poor battery life, low-resolution screen, HDD instead of SSD, etc.

> sub-$500 laptops..Poor battery life, low-resolution screen, HDD instead of SSD, etc.

Things have changed since 2005.

This is a Walmart one for 360$, and Costco has similar ones. You can get even better specs and price if you're willing to roll the dice with Alibaba/Aliexpress vendors.

14" FHD (1080p), AMD Ryzen 3 with Radeon Vega 3 Graphics, THX Spatial Audio, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, HDMI, Front 720P HD IR Camera.

Volkswagen would have benefited from reading this article> Bill Gate's comment that the prank makes Microsoft look stupid applies pretty well to the Voltswagen stunt.

Your comment made me realize that English speakers often render Volks in Volkswagen as Volts

Do you think this is any different than any time throughout history? There have always been and always will be people without senses of humor in all walks of life.

I don't know about the rest of history, but this is the first point in my lifetime where they've been in control of so many aspects of day-to-day life.

> I don't know about the rest of history

Well, there you go.
