1 month agoHow about we just go back to “lies” so the simple-minded folks who always fall for that crap can have a chance of “getting it” for once?
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

Steven Wright wants his due (it’s at the 2:45 mark if my link doesn’t work). He did this joke decades ago {back in the '80s).
Mine goes down after I screw up, and prevents me from fixing it until later, when it’s already been back up for a while & who-knows-how-many people have seen my screw up before I realized I could now fix it
I see you, “Harry Vanderspeigle.”
Competition.
“Esquire” is an unusual last name, never mind two middle names.
(You should put a comma before “Esquire” if that’s not the last name.)
Eat it
Well, at least now we all know Weird Al’s fediverse username.
Post title (on Lemmy, mind you) inspired by using the nuclear option in the game Lemmings?

Yes, but there were so many different cable standards that you weren’t always sure you had the right one on hand. USB has been such a godsend that the young’ns will never fully appreciate.
Banana plugs are a thing, and might even have plugged into the hole on the RCA jacks (probably not as they’re usually too wide, but it’s technically possible… I think - never tried it myself). However, they’re single conductors, not dual like RCA plugs are.
ETA: And, yes - I’m aware of the recent Tom’s Hardware article you’re referencing.
Before the mid-to-late 1990s, on the other hand…
Hey, at least it’s copper instead of aluminum.
You can see enough to tell it’s an I (in), not an O (out) - plus the fact there’s only room for one more letter behind the copper, as demonstrated by the hidden P in “TAPE” above. Having dealt with this sort of equipment enough in my life, those were really the only two possibilities.
Headphone jack is an output. The jack they’ve hotwired is an input.

Presumably because you, too, have a checkered background?
It’s just some bigot who hates parents who are trans & pseudorandom number generators.
But those who pay attention know which is the truth, while yelling “lies” seems to work on the clueless - seems win-win to me.
