When Skype was new it had FREE calling to land lines. My friends and I would make so many fun calls. So many fun times. Then Microsoft bought it and killed the free calling.

Retro_unlimited@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2English81·4 days agoI played single player thousands of hours since the Xbox 360. I own maybe 10 copies of gta 5. Sad they never released the DLC.
Maybe in 5 years when it’s $20 I might pick it up. But the hype isn’t there for me anymore.
Retro_unlimited@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2English244·4 days agoThey blocked Linux on gta 5, so I lost interest in gta 6. Hurts me, but their greed with gta online kind of killed the series for me.
Retro_unlimited@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Telepathy will be real once we master brain computer interface5·4 days agoYou really think these companies are inventing this stuff for your benefit? They will read your mind and force ads into your head so they can profit. It’s all about their profits.

I really enjoy them for playing games. Lots of people use them for movies and tons of other uses. It’s like having a huge OLED tv on the wall.
Retro_unlimited@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favorite job interview hack?15·5 days ago99% of jobs I applied to had no reply. Even when I would follow up several times they don’t answer.
One single job had an interview and I had a migraine and failed.
Basically every job I had was being at the right place at the right time and talking to the right people. Just chatting and saying I did X, Y, and Z. They come back with want to work for us? You start Monday.
The job market is crazy.

Retro_unlimited@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Moving servers and rack equipmentEnglish1·8 days agoI just moved across states.
I took everything apart, packed the equipment in boxes using tons of padding. Any extra space in the boxes was filled with extra cables and more padding. Rack mounts that I have come completely apart.
My main servers have hard drives, so I used a lot of foam all around the server and added trackers (air tags) to the servers and my camera stuff.
I’m now off grid so not really in a hurry to setup all this stuff, but happy it seems to have made it here in great condition. Eventually I will setup the rack mounts just to hold the equipment and maybe I will power on things here and there as I feel like playing with them again.
