i mean all companies have to do is just bring back self-hosting servers and dedicated servers. literally ALL they have to do is bring back the multiplayer of the late 90s/early 00s. that’s it.

I mean hell I still play on old UT servers for 99 and 2k4. I still play on TFC and Q3A servers. it’s simple but it’s fun.

that bad huh?

found the vibe coder. hey bud, how’s that “killer app” scaling for you?

knew this was coming. it’s Apple’s MO since…like…ever since the company started. Let someone else do it first and then try to do it better. HP is already doing this, Apple is going to “improve it”.

AOL was sold to Bending Spoons for $1.5 billion in 2025. The business still generates about $633 million a year through ads and membership subscriptions for services such as malware protection and tech support, the Times reported.

As someone who did AOL Tech Support way back in the early 00s this does not surprise me at all. Hell it wouldn’t surprise me if a few of those customers are still paying for dialup without even knowing it. We’d get calls like that all the time. We’d also get calls all the time for tech issues not even related to AOL. We had to stay on the line with them regardless. so they’d mention some easy to fix AOL issue AND THEN dive into the REAL reason they were calling…and we had to tech support it, even our tools supported it. was a nightmare/horrible job.
