They were too weird for me in my early teens, I first got them years later.

Dexter’s Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Power Puff Girls

I don’t think it’s dead, we found solutions like using Devuan and stopped complaining.

I can still laugh at the memes.

Same here, the journey is over when you reach Xen it’s just some mopping up that’s left.

And when I reach the Citadel in HL2 it’s also a tossup if I continue.

Congratulations!

Then I suggest OP hurry and become a CEO with a 7 figure income asap!

You are right I thought GSM was 1G, instead it’s 2G-2.5G

I would assume everything including GSM calls is IP/packet based nowadays, unless your phone has switched to 1G

Back in the early 00’s everybody called and the cell network was stressed, I normally waited 15-30 minutes before calling my parents.

Nowadays the 5g network can handle that many calls and a big chunk of the people use something else than phone calls.

Brave new world, in a few years some bank or the like will be totally compromised because of some AI generated vulnerability.

That reminds me of Illiad’s UserFriendly where the non tech guy Stef creates a do_what_i_mean() function, and that goes poorly.

I would say this AI function generator is a new version of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWIM
