How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it?
  • @bstix @Provider A 3 minute video where someone shows you how to change your car's headlights does tend to be better than a text description.

    But it's no longer a 3 minute video. It's 25 minutes with a 5 minute sponsor segment, 15 minutes of faffing about, 3 minutes to plug pateron, 1 minute of intro and outro, and then 1 minute where they show the changing of the lightbulb but they cut away to a wide shot so the host can be shown clowning around and you can't tell what he did.

    First time users are encouraged to follow our detailed tutorials when using a new TormentNexus. In particular, new users are often surprised by the hooks in the LamENT configuration.
