Mfr’s get stuck in game lobbies longer than that.
I remember back in the Windows ME era or thereabouts when Microsoft was pushing hard at the notion that your computer will always be online and connected to the internet, and we were all treating them like they were full of shit. Sure, all of us geeks would love to be connected 24/7 but really nobody is going to be able to provide a connection with that kind of uptime, and even if they could we’d never be able to afford it.
Right?
Anyway, most of the tools I’m required to use to do my job are hosted on the Internet, so there’s no way I can’t be “online” as long as I’m at work. I’m offline when I’m on my motorcycle. And y’all motherfuckers will never find me.
Reminds me of when I got my second ever flip phone, and while it was great with texts (which played cool data transmission sounds over nearby speakers) and it was the first one I had with a camera, the first-gen web browser they had on it simply took ages getting even an image to load over the cellular connection.
I was thinking, this is cool. I can actually web browse on my phone. Sort of. I figured the connection will get better over time and was generally optimistic about what a cell phone would someday be, but never did I think we’d be able to stream not just video but high-definition video over cell service like it’s nothing. While I have a lot more experience and knowledge now, I’ve learned to hesitate before claiming anything is impossible.
Trying to think if I can cobble together 90 minutes a day that I’m NOT online…
Must be a typo, I bet they meant 90 minutes an hour.
Still manageable tbh
I’m streaming a video on YouTube while playing an online multiplayer game, so effectively I’m spending 120 min online every hour.
MOOOOORE!!!
I definitely ate the clickhole here
Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those up.
I’m in IT, I’m kinda required to be online most of the work day.
Probably pre smartphone times
Yeah, because we dialup users definitely didn’t do all nighters online. At 300 baud. Nope, sure didn’t.
That’s how long it took to look at a few medium res images.
Not sure if nip or mole and wont know for another 10-15 minutes.
Still not as bad as pulling segments off Usenet to piece together based on faith in a description.
Date in the corner says 2015
Yes the dark ages.
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to bear the jeweled crown of the ever-online upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high broadband!
Parody website
Yeah, it’s part of the Onion network, isn’t it?
Yes, the long lost, pre-smartphone era of January 2015
