Kevin Mitnick! He died last year… Whistle F to pay respects. He was an early practitioner of SIM cloning, which is an even bigger deal today because criminals can do it to receive people’s two-factor authentication codes and then get into their bank accounts, etc.

I like how Nintendo carts specifically said to not use alcohol (or benzene!)

Contact cleaner is best, it leaves a light oily coating to keep oxygen out. To this day, I can still pop in an NES cartridge and have it work on the first try.

If you wanted to play what is basically a LAN game today, you would have your modem directly call your friend’s modem for only the cost of the phone call. We did this for Doom “deathmatches”.

You could dial into a server for multiplayer but you would typically have to pay for that access because the server’s owner was paying for fancy multi-line service that could handle all the connections at once.

I was wondering what Virgin had to do with Sonic… it has their London address under the Sega logo.

LibreWolf fakes user agent to show as Windows 10.

“Off course!” (I want to continue in the Battle Square)

Nope, Debian releases are all named after Toy Story characters.

Bonus meme as penance:

The universe is updaters all the way down. 🧘‍♂️

Fourteen occurrences of some form of the word “update” on-screen from one program.

“Please wait while System Update searches for new updates for your system” reminds me of the classic Nintendo instruction card on the Donkey Kong arcade game: “Jump button makes Jumpman jump.”

It is an old screenshot, back from when people awoke to find Windows 8 suddenly installed on their computers.

I consider Linux Mint Debian Edition to be the starter distro that Ubuntu was, >10 years ago.

I saw the original posted too many times to not come up with a response, I thought they were mostly here on /c/linuxmemes but maybe not. Usually captioned “average Arch user”. 😅

I thought, at first, that it had something to do with the Evil Maid threat vector.

Hostess Ho-Hos were kind of gross, but Little Debbie(-an) Swiss Cake Rolls, oh, man.

10th enemy has the bomb

They’re explaining how enemy’s loot isn’t totally random. If you kill nine enemies without getting hit and kill the tenth enemy with a bomb, you are guaranteed to receive more bombs from it.
