13:26:28 <MrMobodies> I think I found a solution, thanks to someone on Reddit again. Seems to be becoming a useful resource.
13:26:30 <steve30> fur is more cosy
13:26:33 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
13:26:36 <MrMobodies> oops scroll stuck
13:26:39 <Ampera> how ya doin Halcyon <3
13:29:15 * steve30 paws at Halcyon
15:28:22 <Halcyon> Hey Steve
15:42:19 * steve30 ponders food
15:52:27 <steve30> The WayBack Machine is 30 years old this year
15:54:10 <Halcyon> Gees, it's been going that long?

15:58:02 <steve30> I actually realised recently that it managed to archive one of my websites in the early 2000s :p
16:04:50 <Halcyon> Anything good on it?
16:05:06 <steve30> garish colour schemes
16:05:14 <steve30> and frames
16:05:46 <Halcyon> Hahah. I miss old websites. I remember when I had my own personal site. Always had to have a visitor counter and a guestbook
16:06:02 <steve30> i always liked counters
16:06:51 <Halcyon> I used to have a site on Geocities. I know that's been largely cached, but I can't remember which "neighbourhood" it was in, let alone the number
16:06:59 <Halcyon> It would be cool/cringe to see it again
16:08:50 <MrMobodies> Can't believe Chrome has this problem that it needs an extension

16:14:06 <MrMobodies> Looks like a nice printout
16:15:59 <MrMobodies> A 1999 model and I bet that one don't have "end of service life" excuse joke: "f*** you I ain't working anymore" for the ink pad.
16:16:30 <steve30> it does actually but it is resettable with special service softwarre (which I don't have)
16:16:54 <steve30> And I'm not sure if it keeps the count in volatile ram or not
16:20:08 <MrMobodies> I remember at a school in 2007, voluntarily bases, the head of the IT department was telling us that he brought his son an Epson printer
16:20:16 <MrMobodies> after a year it gave him that message
16:20:28 <MrMobodies> and he said a he had a row with Epson on the phone
16:22:21 <MrMobodies> he said they told him, ink pad in the printer is not servicable or repairable and after that the printer needs to be replacing altogether. He quoted them some EU law about
16:24:52 <MrMobodies> that it should last a couple of years and be serviced/replaced and nothing about it having a preditermined lifespan. They just told him that his printer has printed out an x amount of pages, inkpad full and printer needs replacing.... he vowed to never buy another Epson.
16:24:54 <steve30> thing is they often are cheap enough to not be worth spening money on spare parts
16:24:56 <Halcyon> You got me going down a rabbit hole steve30. I'm searching for my old site.
16:25:21 <steve30> hehe, do you have the files on your computer? (I have all mine on HDD)
16:25:35 <Halcyon> Nah they would have been long gone
