I wonder if they were ever in the IPv4 design stage talking like, "yeah of course we'll probably never see more than 256 connected computers, but let's play for way more than that! Let's just make it 32 bit so we're safe for a century at least. And we'll probably have moved off of IP long before then."

I meant your husband >.<

The old Xbox to Xbox with no router blew a younger friends mind.

I tried explaining without a LAN DHCP server it sets up default IPs and a crossover connection using using the Simlink lets them sort out communication directly IP to IP.

I started mentioning Auto IPs 169.254.x.x used when you connect direct and want to telnet into something.

But at that point he's like Its making my brain hurt.

I remember when I was in middle school having my friend bring his Mac Color classic over, and connecting it to mine with a null modem so we could play multiplayer Marathon.

I forgot that term! I feel like I was usually doing IPX when doing the null modem thing. But my memory is quite foggy on that

Ahh the good ol’ null-modem.

Back in my day we used to do that with computer to computer connections over serial ports. Ah good times. Multiplayer used to take a lot of work.

That's funny as fuck.

IT'S PRIDE MONTH

😔 uncultured and no sense of humour smh /lh

Our company is prioritizing the environment and also pushing AI, so yeah. Every town hall that this gets brought up gets shot down with garbage like "investors want this"

Meanwhile, only upper management actually gets useful models, everyone else gets basic copilot.

Are you from the US?

Tapping to pay has been an option in Canada for about 20 years, so I would hope that they'd get it by now.

You're using the wrong software. I used to work for a company that makes POS software, and:

• It's supported ipv4 for probably 20+ years
• Hosted customers were moved to AWS by 2019
• Latest GUI requires at least 1024x768, higher res is fine (there was only TTY in 1993, though)
• Offline mode is supported
• Printers were usually USB

The program that you do cash register sales with. It tracks the stuff you scan or enter in and keeps record of every sale for inventory and accounting. Normal business stuff.

Omfg the tap commercials confused the hell out of old people, and every fucking day I have some crotchety fuck smack my machine with their card then get mad at me when it doesnt work. I literally once had a customer call me stupid because he couldn't figure out how to hold his card still for five fucking seconds. Every transaction I tell these people to "hold your card right there and wait for the beep." And then helplessly watch as they wave the fucking thing sort of close to the sensor and then pull it away too soon only for the machine to say, "card read error" and then they look at me silently asking, "did it go through?" No it did not go through. If it went through it would say, "Approved" but instead I now have to tell you for a second time how to hold your stupid card. Oh youre just going to insert the chip? Perfectly fine, go right ahead that might even be faste— why the fuck did you hit cancel?

what is point of sale?
