I rewatched Wall-E the other day. I forgot just how staggeringly good that movie is. How the hell does every single robot have their own personality. Not to mention how everyone that Wall-E interacts with ends up for the better, after a lil chaos, of course. I cried so many times. I'm 33.

Can relate, Wall-E is easily my favorite Pixar movie

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

Untill I saw UP. I just broke at that first scene. It's just such a fantastic tale about life and the journey it is.

Up, wall-e, Toy story 1-3 are Pixar prime.

Wall-E was my whole personality as a child.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

As a child? In my perception the movie just came out.. wait... Breaks down for being old

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

That's about the time I started building my MP4 collection... Which is up to at least 2TB by now, if not 3...

Y'all seen they movie circuit? Older set it films but Darling for practical effects and animatronic robots

Need more input to decipher

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think OP is talking about Short Circuit. OP also may be having a stroke, be suffering from dementia, or have snorted Benadryl.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I thoroughly enjoyed short circuit 2 more than the first as a kid, but they are both great.

Not only that, Wall-E got crushed and was able to be rebuilt and booted up like nothing ever happened.

[–] Panamalt 215 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Wall-E functioned

He was definitely not running windows

[–] [email protected] 73 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, he had the mac boot up noise lol

BSD even, he can't do a lot of things but god damnit he does the things he can do well

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

Yeah but all of the other Wall-Es were left broken by a mandatory Tuesday Windows Update

Walle had the Apple startup chime when he recharged

Early-2000s PowerMac vs. MacBook

Steve Jobs was involved in Pixar Animation Studio

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

True. It was also an extremely commercialized capitalist dystopian future. I doubt Linux was being used, and there’s no way Microsoft could create something with WALL-E’s long uptime and low maintenance.

The difference between wall-e and eve makes me think of cars. How old and even some modern combustion cars are built well and engineered to be highly modular and user serviceable. EVs are highly proprietary. They rely on closed systems that can’t practically be serviced without special equipment.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m NOT a fan of fossil fuels at all. I just don’t like how cars have been slowly morphing into proprietary unreliable cellphone-like commodities, or how the push towards EVs seems to be accelerating that trend.

A modern high-end BMW can have over a hundred separate ECUs (microcontrollers). All communicating over multiple CAN and FlexRay networks. The complexity is mind boggling, just so you can have subscription based seat heating and other nonsense.

No technician on Earth will be able to debug this black box spaghetti except the manufacturer. If you try to access/reprogram one of these chips (as you should be able as you OWN the damn thing), the microcontroller has OTP (one time programmable) memory that ensures the device can physically brick itself should you try.

I do not share such faith in the manufacturer that made the black box spaghetti.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I do have faith that some random dude in Pakistan will figure out how to unlock a sensor using a paperclip and a 555 timer and will post it to YouTube.

If the person in the video is wearing flip flops and smoking, tends to be good info.

My kid used to watch it over and over between 3-5 years old. Finally asked him why he liked it, his response was " because you like it".

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago

Of course! Was just nice he was thinking of someone other than himself and chose based on that.

Windows PC or Linux PC? Cause Windows PC aint gonna run shit with the build quality of the hardware and OS of the average PC.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

I can almost guarantee you the oldest running windows PC is older than the oldest running linux PC due to software that can't be re-compiled and brought to newer hardware/OS. Think hospitals, factories, etc.. Granted, this argument does not really work in favor of windows.

Banks are still running Cobol programs written by Jesus on punchcards. But it's not the same use case, Linux is mostly running on servers without a UI.

written by Jesus on punchcards

I just want to say thank you for that line, it's beautiful. I'm absolutely going to steal it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

But is it really Window's fault when a software vendor decides not to support a newer Windows version, or a manager thinks cutting costs by not renewing a support contract is a great idea? I've seen plenty of software fail to compile on Linux because of, for example, slightly newer (or older) glibc versions being present. It's not as if using Linux means software will magically run on every version out there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

That is the problem which containers initially were to tackle. Before I always ran into the issue that two programs need two different versions of a library.

[–] captain_aggravated 3 points 6 days ago

I mean yeah probably, someone somewhere has a PC-AT with MS-DOS and Windows 1 dating from the 80's somewhere, while the first release of Linux was in what? 92? Somebody like LGR or Tech Tangents very likely has some old hardware running period software for history enthusiast reasons.

But let's play this game: What is the oldest hardware currently in service running a currently supported edition of Windows, versus the oldest hardware currently in service running a currently supported edition of Linux?

The irony is that before M1, while they were on x86, Apple computers were not that different than the rest besides having special motherboards and funky firmware. Even ARM now isn't proprietary tech, it just isn't adopted by the others (yet). All in all it's an artificial distinction so that some people can be separated from their money.
