I have a collection of files from the late ´90s and early ´00s. Many of them are .JPG, .MP3, .WAV, instead of .jpg, .mp3, and .wav. Why was that the norm at the time? I usually just change the extension myself.

    cobol

    Cobol seemed like an interesting programming language, it looked like a funny flavor of BASIC. I managed to get hands on BASIC and its spiritual successor Visual Basic (VB6), but for some reason I’m yet to understand, I wasn’t able to get into Cobol.

    Before the house fire, he had at least 20 towers, bags of parts, a closet full of monitors, keyboards and mice.

    Oh… Really sorry about the losses 🙁

    It was trippy to see the growth of technology from windows 95 to now.

    A growth to certain extent; sadly, much of the technology got enshittified roughly after 2015-ish, so it feels to me like tech had this mesmerizing growth from 95 to 2015-ish, before technology started declining nowadays.
