Guy: "I wrote a MIPS R3000 emulator from scratch, ran it on a microcontroller on a board I designed myself, and emulated a late-80s DEC workstation well enough to run not just Linux, but also DEC's own proprietary closed-source Unix on it (although I had to patch the Ultrix kernel's machine code, without source code or even symbols in the exec, to fix a bug). For fun."

Internet: "Pssh. Not pretty enough. Next!"

You have to mention "e-waste" in order to establish that you are virtuous, not just a killjoy.

Note, however, that this does not work in threads about the Vision Pro goggles that people will chuck in the bottom of their closets (next to their Oculus and Google Glass) once the novelty wears off.

This site has some of the worst attitudes towards anything that's not just the same old apple garbage.

Bring something thats genuinely unique or something that really encompasses the spirit of what a hacker was when I was growing up you just get garbage responses like the parent.
