tired of online seventeen years and counting

The vintage technology pricing inverted bell curve has almost come around to the point where the box truck heist in the first Fast and Furious movie makes economic sense again

The back of the truck full of electronics that they steal in The Fast and the Furious (2001) consisting of a bunch of VCRs and digital video cameras and a prominently placed compact tv/vcr combo (like 10" screen). It was a joke for a while that all this stuff is worthless because everybody uses DVDs and stuff but now it's old enough to be valuable to collectors and enthusiasts

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.
