Windows 95 turns 30!
On August 24, 1995, Microsoft released Windows 95, their operating system which introduced numerous functions and features that were featured in later Windows versions, and continue in modern variations to this day, such as the taskbar, the notification area, file shortcuts on the desktop, plug and play driver integration, removal of the requirement to have a separate copy of MS-DOS, the ability to full screen application windows, native internet integration, raising the maximum letters a filename can have from eight to 255, the Windows Explorer, and the “Start” button which summons the Start menu.
That was 30 years ago.

Valentino Rossi testing a Formula 1 Ferrari
Throwback to when Valentino Rossi tested a Ferrari F1 car and ended up just 0.7’s off Michael Schumacher’s pace…
Michael had set a time of 1m 11.640s with Rossi, driving an older spec of car and engine, lapping in 1m12.362s.
Former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemelo was so impressed he suggested that the team would field Rossi in a third car if the rules allowed it.

Age Verification coming to the EU?
The retards that seem to run not only the governments, but also parts of the internet are now trying to push age verification in the EU, after some US states took the bait and also the UK did. Few things to mention:
- Databases can and will be leaked. Proof
- The governments will definitely use these databases for nefarious purposes.
- VPNs exists. NordVPN, Surfshark, Private Internet Access, Njal.la, Proton VPN. Why let your government steal your personal data when a company can do this for you?
- People nowadays will use any excuse to blame everyone else but themselves for their shitty parenting. You know, instead of having hundreds of millions people expose their data, maybe some idiots shouldn’t give fucking phones with no parental controls to fucking 8 year olds.

Idiots on the internet
If you can understand words, but can’t understand contexts, maybe you need to stay away from the internet.
