Tecnhology turning points

Events that signaled big changes (usually for the worse)?
i5 2500k (Intel's dominance)
Ryzen (Intel's downfall)
rise of Facebook/death of Myspace and other social networks, as well as twitter no longer being mocked by people in general (remember people saying it was only useful to let other people know you were pooping?). This marked the beginning of the tracking/surveillance era.
pic related. I honestly believe the spirit of the Internet of old days died with it.

what.cd hurt me the most
I still don't listen to as much new music as I did back then

>i5 2500k (Intel's dominance)
Intel was always dominant even when Cyrix was in business, up until Ryzen
>Ryzen (Intel's downfall)
The playing field is balanced between AMDtards and Inteltards.

To be fair, everyone who flocked to whatever social networks were always laughed at since MSN Messenger 7. And the surveillance era started in 2001 after Bush declared the PATRIOT act, in response to 9/11.

The internet died the moment it became available to consumers in 1996 thanks to 30-day AOL trial floppies in the mail.

IBM PC
Smartphones
Internet

>Intel was always dominant even when Cyrix was in business, up until Ryzen
Go back to watching LGR and stop posting, this is a 18+ site.

>Being this retarded
Go read a book while you dilate.

Yeah these came to mind but they always show up in these discussions. Everyone and their mother realizes the impact the iPhone had, especially in Internet usage. Wish I didn't have to acknowledge it desu.

what Athlon did to Intel and the market in the early 2000's was FAR, FAR bigger than what Ryzen is doing now
zoomers shouldn't LARP

Absolutely basado y rojoencapsulado

Ryzen hasn't been out for that long, and AMD was bleeding a lot more. Quit being retarded.

>Athlon
Athlon hardly made a dent in the sales of Intel chips. As a matter of fact, Neither AMD nor Cyrix made as much an impact on Intel's sales as you think they have in the 90's up until today. Go LARP back in

>The playing field is balanced between AMDtards and Inteltards.
Not in the server market. Server operators are taking one look at Intel's post-pentium security record and jumping ship. It's not as flashy as consumer advertising but it's much more significant, almost as significant as the OE market

Fuck, this one is horrible too. The Internet will become another TV in no time. Well, it mostly has already. We really need to turn this shit around. There's definitely enough people up to do it and now we have even better technology than back in the 90s and early 00s. The masses are too retarded, they just want to sit down and be fed garbage.

>The internet died the moment it became available to consumers in 1996 thanks to 30-day AOL trial floppies in the mail.
Holy fuck, fuck that shit. Those trial disks were shitty too. My family ended up using thise as frisbies every time we got one in the mail.

>Server operators are taking one look at Intel's post-pentium security record and jumping ship
They're also looking at AMD's PSP.

Bitch please as long as you can call somebody a bitch on the Internet the spirit of the Internet is still alive.

>Paying to post for free
You're what's wrong with the internet.

It already has become the next TV; YouTube plays 2 ads at the start of every 10-minute video and plays 1 at the end of it. And in longer videos, multiple ads. To make matters worse, none of the ads are in sync with the standard of 7 minutes of advertisement to 22 minutes of broadcast.

mid 00s was peak internet. you had the panda, a bunch of small/medium forums, from gamefaqs to Jow Forums, there were some videos available, lots of porn was easy to come by, p2p sharing programs like kazaa, emule etc were still used, but there were also torrents. those were the Golden Days. it's all been downhill ever since. too many fucking companies. we need another isolated network, only for nerds

amd's cpus have a fraction of the vulnerabilities and with intel'd fully patched, a huge lead. the problem isn't the tpm (for those people, that is)

>adobe buying macromedia and destroying flash in the process

despite the rageboner Steve Cucks had for the technology shit was so cash and way ahead of its time that all the faggy web designers and ux coders or whatever garbage are still catching up. It seriously heralded the web as a creative and decentralized multimedia platform rather than some dorky ass glorified reddit chatroom for university professors startrek fans or proto facebook where people would make sites for their dogs.

it was easier, faster and safer somehow. fuck javascript. steve jobs really did a number on us, the iphone brought alot more retards online and killed flash for this js shitheap

>amd's cpus have a fraction of the vulnerabilities and with intel'd fully patched, a huge lead. the problem isn't the tpm (for those people, that is)
>Implying that any level of vulnerability is acceptable
user... You're acting retarded again. This isn't a shill thread.

This. So fuckin' this, man.

megaupload, rapidshare etc being killed was another turning point too imo. filesharing was never the same. those shitty p2p programs like kazaa, emule etc dying was also a significant blow to the internet. we never recovered well from those, so things just keep getting worse

it's pure irony. The web is more insecure than it has ever been and is virtually a one giant spying network. W3C can go fuck themselves.

yeah if it wasn't for umatrix and ubo, we'd be fucked. and google is out to block ublock origin as well as not having umatrix. the web is fucked. we need a new internet asap, even if it will be slow, not like we need hd videos

>those shitty p2p programs like kazaa, emule etc dying was also a significant blow to the internet
Yes; because people were so retarded that they'd download Bill_Clinton_Sex_Tape.avi.rm.mpg.exe and run it. As for megaupload and rapidshare, their being killed was because of greater enforcement of the DMCA by pro-copyright shills. Again, it boils down to the problem of politics and governance since the Bush Jr. administration.

W3C didn't standardize JavaScript as the replacement to Flash or Shockwave objects.

If we make a new internet, we can't be giving out free trial disks in the mail for every retard to abuse.

Oh my fucking god I hope umatrix and ublock origin get fucked up. Something might actually happen. Please please please please something happen please something happen something happen please please something happen please

nigger, what's gonna happen is that the people with enough knowledge will use qute-browser, the kde browser might get some people interested in it and that's it. both will amount to less than 5% market share and google will just keep adding piles of shit and forcing it onto people. the only thing keeping them somewhat in check is firefox, however garbage mozilla may be (i hate them but firefox is still the less shit browser sadly)

>the problem of politics and governance since the Bush Jr. administration
There's got to be a way around all the bullshit.

at this point google is THE web. They're pretty much the gatekeepers with the play store and chrome.

The spirit of the internet will truly be dead once Jow Forums dies. Once that happens I'm not sure what'll happen, but it won't be good.

Although I can see why you'd see it that way, I don't think current Jow Forums really holds the spirit of the old Internet anymore.

Smartphones and social media in general turned the internet for the worse

That means a greater division between the "normalfagnet" and the common "usernet", or whatever you want to call it. There needs to be a fairly strong division between the phone users and those who aren't completely braindead. And even if there's a division, it's no good if there aren't enough non-braindead people actively congregating.

It's irreversible now; Snowden already exposed all that was going on since 2001 and nobody did a thing about it until he exposed it. What the US needs is a better government that actually serves the the people instead of the lobbyist.

>Implying Jow Forums ever had spirit
You know everything we type here is still being logged, in spite of the HTTPS placebo, right?

That and lousy government that treats essential communication as a non-essential privilege.

>Athlon hardly made a dent in the sales of Intel chips
that was thanks to Intels Bribery, forcing SI's and large retailers not to sell AMD chips, just look at whats on sale back then, i dare you to find a dell that has AMD in it

I'm talking about not having names attached to your posts.

It's a big difference from posting on Twitter or Reddit. On Twitter you basically have no voice unless you have followers. On Reddit, all controversial/offending opinions are down voted and hidden.

i see your point. it's hard to say if making the web shittier would force tech literate people to work on an alternative to it. the problem i see with that approach is that eventually the retarded masses would slowly migrate to it. we need a web that's made with the intention of keeping them out, and not incidentally happening to do it. but i'm not sure if that's doable, since something that starts off like that might end up like tor

FPBP, RIP What.
Despite everything Jow Forums says, RED is shaping up decently, though it will never have What's community. It's just too autistic, the spirit is dead.

yeah it's pretty much reddit now. Soon it will be nothing but generals and the assclowns posting in them can circlejerk each other into oblivion in their little echo chambers.

the chaotic nature is gone

project chanology is when everything died.

>I'm talking about not having names attached to your posts.
As if that stops namefagging and tripfagging on Jow Forums. Also, stop LARPing; the old internet still used pseudonyms for naming people online, even during the days of telnet and BBS.

The only viable alternative at this point is to get amateur radio licenses and use packet radio stations for our own internet.

I never said it wasn't thanks to that. But again, this isn't a shill thread, so take your AMD shilling elsewhere.

That's optional and

nah that won't work. you need people all over the world to have a quality internet. if it's just local, it won't be good, unless you're in the middle of a university or some other city with a high concentration of tech literate people (and places like san francisco are actually making the internet worse, so)

So was using a pseudonym back in the early days and before that. You could either be a pleb and use your full name (because there were boomers back than,) or you could be 'leet and use a cool pseudonym like h@xor or r4pist, like the Scene members still do.

>nah that won't work. you need people all over the world to have a quality internet.
you don't know what being a radio amateur implies... You don't need "quality internet" or any infrastructure to exist; as a radio amateur with your own packet radio station, you're your own ISP, serving internet through a radio antenna with other like-minded people.

Intel was king until lthe 8700k

>pic related. I honestly believe the spirit of the Internet of old days died with it.
The internet can be divided into era, which all start and end in Septembers.

Beginning of the internet - September 1993 - The Wild West
September 1993 - September 2001 - Dawn of e-Civilization
September 2001 - September 2007 - Golden Age
September 2007 - September 2014 - The Fracturing
September 2014 - September 20?? - Faeces Wars

At the turn of each era, the spirit of the older internet would disappear. It is true that the last two eras have been trash, but maybe the next one will be good.

>September 2001 - September 2007 - Golden Age
Retard detected. That's when PATRIOT was implemented and DMCA began being heavily enforced.

User experience != legal possibilities

The fall of megaupload and it's legal consequences.
The election of DRUMPFT! had huge repercussions in Silicon Valley.
The rise and fall of the alt-kike sent lobbyists into a frenzy and tons laws regulating the internet got passed in response WORLDWIDE.

>I didn't know I was being spied on for 10 years
>Therefore 2001-2007 were the golden years
See

>you thought you were enjoying your time, but that was only a feeling
>I hereby cancel your enjoyment, and replace it with another feeling of my choice
See

>User experience != legal possibilities
Could you imagine living in the US, where you too naive about being spied on since 2001 because you were gung-ho about the PATRIOT act as a response for the war on terror? Could you imagine your getting a cease and desist letter after you downloaded Brokeback Mountain from torrents? The fear of getting 10 years in prison for copying a file online, in a country where child rapists only get 2 years in jail.

Then there are retards like who were just born in 2001, to never have known how the internet was.

Your feelings don't change facts, retard. You're exactly what's wrong with the modern internet.

what makes you think it's going to get better?

>what makes you think
Tripfags don't think; they're LARPing zoomers who pretend they know things.

I can't believe is gone, bros.

>You're what's wrong with the internet.

It's his money faggot.

I do not live in the US, and I was born in the 80's.

Oh, and your post is great, as it reminds of how things were once:
>Then there are people who were just born in 2001, to never have known how to enjoy an internet conversation without getting emotional and start name-calling.

Did you know that there was once a time (including the 2001-2007 period) when you could make friends online? Not Facebook friends from real life, but total strangers!

It was great. At least, it was great for me at the time. Maybe my feelings are wrong, as per I am hoping the current Faeces-Wars generation is going to get jobs and start internet-ing less, and the next generation will be better. But of course, the next generation could be worse.

>UHBLOOHOOHOO I can't look at CP anymore why technology so bad waaah :(

>Implying it was his money
Nonsense; the 'tard lives in his mom's basement, asking her for the money to buy a pass so he can shitpost on a free platform.

>Did you know that there was once a time (including the 2001-2007 period) when you could make friends online? Not Facebook friends from real life, but total strangers!
Anonymous homosexual one-night stands on Craigslist isn't what most people would call "making friends online."

Also, >Bitching about name calling online
That's always been a thing since telnet and BBS.

and you are making an assumption about hat user.

And you're proving how you're the cause of the internet being bad, by acting retarded with an online argument.

I can still look at anything I want it's just slightly less convenient now.

>Removing your tripcode to keep acting retarded
That's not how you prevent tarnishing your name.

Prime example of the Faeces Wars, right here. Why so bitter and hateful? One would think that I did something horrible to you to make you mad, but I do not even live in the same continent as you user. If you are upset, why not go and do something that you enjoy, to make yourself feel better?

>This marked the beginning of the tracking/surveillance era
the unveling. It begun a long time ago, it went full steam ahead post patriot act and into overdrive halfway into the first decade.

>Is presented facts
>Still ignores them
And you're hurt for being called what you are? I mean why don't you embrace your retardation like the badge of honor it is?

>Tripfag's birthday: Faeces War
It's still ongoing until you read a book.

>Acting retarded
>Hurr stop calling me retarded
Buddy; you seem mad over something that's been a tradition since telnet over dial-up.

inb4 the tripfag posts his suicide video on social media over his bullying on Jow Forums.

Fox news will post it, he's an alloha snackbar.

Heh, back in my days (get off my Golden Age 2001-2007 lawn, kids), we used to pass images like pic related around.

Are oats keto? I am eating them right now.

Why are your feefees hurt? is the hugbox you need. We're not here for emotional or technical support.

You are posting in a fucking hugbox thread for pedophiles. Loser.

Why "bulk"? You do not workout enough?

So are you... Give me a hug, kiddo. :^3

>Why "bulk"?
Gives me an excuse to eat pizza and drink beer after work. But in all seriousness my 1rm went from like 210 to 275 when I stopped doing keto.

>But in all seriousness my 1rm went from like 210 to 275 when I stopped doing keto.
Is that benchpress, in lbs?

There's nobody ever leeching anything. They need more freeleech events like What used to have.

I forgot:
Convenient streaming services like STEAM and NETFLIX basically killing the mainstream piracy scene.

Not really... It's the zoomers who don't know how to pirate that buy into these services.

Yeah.
went from reps @ 155 to reps at @205 within a few weeks of stopping keto.

The only thing I can figure is that I was building muscle on keto insanely fast but wasn't able to use it because not enough glycogen.

Internet used to be place where nobody knows you are a dog.
Now it's a medium which allow (((them))) to know what you eat last night.

>155 -> 205 -> 275
Was the 275 a typo? That is huge! Very nice if not a typo! I am still on 90kg (200lbs) 1rm on benchpress, but I am bulking too. Clean bulk though, no pizza or alcohol (alcohol is haram, Allahu akbar). I will go back to keto/cutting when I hit 100kg (220lbs) bench.

What are your other stats? OHP, squat and dl?

netflix lost a lot of content over the years and disney is basically recreating their channel online. we'll see whether piracy is gonna grow again or not. i've seen quite a few people dissatisfied with the tv show split that's now taking place on the internet, like the old cable tv shit

steam is starting to run into a few issues. the backlog makes it more secure, and the fact that it's also important for ms to have backward compatibility also means it's unlikely losing its position soon. though there are other companies finally trying to compete there, even if they're shit (fucking egs is garbage). canonical/ubuntu also fucked them over

The 155 to 205 is with 4 sets of 10 reps. 275 was a 1 rep max.

I don't really do OHP but occasionally I'll do a few sets as an accessory after I bench with 115lbs. Squat and dl are both super weak, I avoid them because muh back.

Best of luck to you! I am aiming for 1-2-3-4 @ 10%bf, but I will probably need 2-3 more years.

When usenet went from an active, dynamic place to not only post messages but get and post constantly updated binaries that wasn't retained on servers for fucking forever to a goddamn cancer with the start of "premium" usenet servers and goddamn NZB bullshit.
And now it's basically dead. Thanks, idiots.

>10%bf
Shit months on keto and the lowest I went was 13%

Do you have a setup where you can lift to failure on bench and just set the weight on spotting arms or whatever? Worth the investment if you don't have it already. Most of the growth is caused by that last bit of effort.

The Eternal September.

You mean the safety pins, as in pic related? No, my gym has the normal benches only. But I go to gym with a group, so I always have a spotter and I bench to failure.

This practically imply that you should never take online content for granted and backup whatever the fuck you find precious
Even cloud storage is a joke when host country law able to ask them locking your account or wiping your files

did it really die?

The internet went down the shithole when people only famous on the internet started using their real names. The concept of e-celebs and the fact that any "normal" social network bombards you with requests for everything is what killed it. If Myspace came back with Twitter's userbase I can honestly bet that most people would leave the default page enabled out of laziness.
We need to encourage more people to get into web dev as hobbies rather than careers. Passion projects hosted on a platform only used out of necessity. The wild west of the internet is out there, it's just the goddamn city clickers who just want to treat every goddamn site like twitter or instagram. I mean, fucking look at reddit, used to be a site for techies now all the default subs are just facebook-tier "I DID X" posting. And Jow Forums is honestly no better, I'd rather be known as the hacktivist skid group that attracts retards we can laugh at rather than "alt right troll" forum that attracts boomers, faggots, and retards.
I honestly miss when the internet was somewhat feared, I'm fairly young and even I can remember my parents telling me and my brother to never post our personal info online. I still follow those rules, but you fucking can't nowadays as job hunts and networking is all done online.
I don't know. Hell, I'm even being hypocritical. The only sites I go to nowadays are Jow Forums and neocities.

Maybe.
