03:13:46<atphoenix>http://www.pcweek.com/ is puzzling, (c)2020 but looks frozen in 1997. And not just for April fools day. http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.pcweek.com/

04:04:05<Wayward>That is pretty wild. I wonder what happened over the weekend leading up to April 1st in 1997. Nuclear mishap took out Ziff-Davis's PCWEEK offices?
04:05:47<atphoenix>It's just really weird. Also, per IA WBM, the site was dead for years. But showed up again recently?
04:06:35<atphoenix>I found it when I search for Spencer Katt, and found https://www.pcweek.com/spencer/spencer.html to still be online
04:07:50<atphoenix>http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.pcweek.com/ has a gap from 2013 to 2019
04:09:11<Wayward>I wonder if Ellison ended up buying Apple.
04:10:34<atphoenix>He bought Sun and proceeded to snuff it out. In other words he achieved Mr Burns (Simpsons) lifelong goal.
04:10:51<Wayward>:)
04:10:55<atphoenix>Maybe Larry Ellison IS Mr Burns.
04:11:30<atphoenix>yep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyjJbhuwGkU
04:24:42<atphoenix>rumors had it that Sun considered buying Apple too. https://www.pcweek.com/news/0324/27mell.html
04:27:46<atphoenix>these pages were designed for 640x480 or maybe 800x600. It shows. Now they look sort of like meant for vertical viewing on mobile. E.g. article on 56K modems https://www.pcweek.com/?55,367
04:29:25<Wayward>I do miss page source that looks like that.

17:42:54<Wayward>happy 4/3/21
17:44:53<@JAA>Ah yes, stupid date formats.
17:48:46<Wayward>Thank the inventors of books ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ those dusty old things
17:56:11ave (ave) joins
18:01:52<atphoenix>There are enough calendar and date formats to keep everyone happy or humored. Or worried that the world will end on Date X because Calendar X is the One True Calendar.
18:01:53<atphoenix>so March 4, 2021 for .eu and April 3, 2021 for .us are both humorous.
18:16:46<hexa->Should declare the one true date/time format on hackint someday
18:16:59<hexa->Spoilers: ISO8601
18:18:53<@JAA>Or RFC 3339
18:21:17<Wayward>We have to convince everyone to stop using *nix systems by 2038. Hopefully those automated missile silos are still using Windows NT
18:21:46<hexa->Sure! Just exclude that hot mess up there.
18:21:50<atphoenix>https://xkcd.com/927/
18:22:17<hexa->And open specifications above ISO garbage
18:22:23<@JAA>Aye
18:23:13<@JAA>And it excludes shit like 2021-W13-6, which is valid ISO 8601 for today.
18:23:19<hexa->https://www.reddit.com/r/ISO8601/comments/mikuj1/i_bought_iso_860112019_and_860122019_ask_me/
18:26:46<Wayward>only took them 24 hours to delete their reddit account and flee the internet
18:33:20<Wayward>it fascinates me that it takes 8 days to format a 5TB USB harddrive. i do hope there's no undue write thrashing going on due to emulation.
18:34:53<Wayward>If anyone knows of a Windows tool that can send the instruction for the drive to issue an ATA SECRURE ERASE command, that'd be nifty.

19:09:20<atphoenix>what drive model? 2.5" 5 TB? I'd guess that would probably be using shingled recording, which can be slow to write.
19:09:59<spirit>twitch just banned the Revision demoparty channel

19:28:55<Barto>wat, they updated the space jam website

19:52:34<Wayward>rip pepe. again. all the pepes.
19:53:57<grawity>they still kept the old one under /1996/ though
19:55:09<Wayward>i'm mildly surprised they were able to track down the passwords after all these years
20:00:22<Wayward>how difficult would it be to compare the new /1996/ to the old WBM copy to detect changes / censorships
20:01:38<Wayward>"oh wow, i can't believe we said that in 1996. it's any small wonder we're still in business today."
20:19:25<@JAA>'censorship'
