Your 4 year old doesn't know that you selfishly stole his vaccines and gave him a preventable illness that destroyed his immune system and led to years of suffering. But your 10 year old will google that shit. And they will never forgive you. And you deserve that hate plus more.

we're bringing back chip manufacturing!

*duck*

(Also before you ask - no i'm not "this guy", i literally work on firmware, hardware debugging, wifi/ethernet drivers, etc. I'm not actually an AT proto person.)

(unless of course .. i bring up an AT proto reader on an SGI Indy running IRIX 5.3..)

Like, "I'm getting my head around this chip and I'd super like to draw filled gradiant triangle polygons with it."

(and yes meanwhile I'm also enjoying a side deep dive into old x11 stuff, XAA, Mesa/GL, etc.)

(before you ask, I haven't forgotten about freebsd and ethernet and wifi.)
