@futurebird they still scream if you listen to the raw data they are sending and receiving, we have just muffled their cries

@futurebirdI listened quite a bit so I could figure out what speed I was connecting at and t make sure the reflectors disengaged correctly.

@futurebird They still scream, but at a such high frequency that ours ears are no more able to hear them.

@futurebird When humans built the next generation of DSL and cable modems, we did not give them a mouth, so they could no longer complain.

@futurebird Computers still scream when we connect them to the internet. Because of the advances in technology necessary to get High-speed connectuons, the screams are now so high-pitched that they are beyond the range of human hearing.(This isn't a joke. It is literally true.)

@futurebird If they hadn't followed the screaming with a jaunty "ba-dump-adah-dah!" we might have been warier.

@futurebird games for ZX Spectrum PCs, from cassette tapes, imagine minutes of screams to play some Bombjack or Lode Runner. Emulators exist now, when you emulate F16C instructions to play Horizon ports from PS5 on a PS4 Pro level PC

@futurebird Well, I listened. I confess I took a certain amount of sadistic satisfaction from their anguished cry.

@futurebird My first computer was Windows XP. When I connected it to the internet, it got infected and died.No, that's a joke. It got infected and became infectious and unusable. Ubuntu cured it.
