Re: The good old days :)
I had a colleague who slightly earlier than that had a BBC Model B connected to two modems in the office. He'd dial in on one from his house (local call) and ring a far off city to make an internet connection (national call), so our employer got the bill for it. Mind you, I don't think there was anyone outside our team that would have been smart enough to figure that one out!
I used to live in a house where one of the students ran a College's webserver etc, he convinced them that he needed to be able to dial in and had a modem fitted. As NTL had a local calls are free policy then we had always-on Internet for nothing

Re: Mobile dongle and ISDN
My work is in a place where you can get three countries' phone signals. When iPhones were new and shiny, people loved doing new and cool things like streaming videos. Those working near the border often had their phones flip over to another country's network leading to some massive bills...

Re: SOP
My employer is the other way around. Company (i)phones are on a dedicated WiFi network with very few restrictions; the laptops and desktops have their Internet traffic decrypted and scanned. We're instructed to do anything personal on the phones (I guess this avoids liability if an employee looks at the medical or banking records etc).

And that's bad news because, as NTT's summary points out, such neutrons are produced "when high-energy neutrons enter hydrogen-containing materials, such as water, plastics, and electronic substrates, losing their speed."
Does this include the oils etc. that some people are now cooling servers with?

Re: Tyre-Changing
I need to make some repairs to my mountain bike, the instructions are on the manufacturer's Youtube channel. This means that instead of printing the instructions I now need to take my phone or a tablet down to my cellar, and after every stage remove my gloves, unlock the device, open the app, watch 10s of video, put my gloves back on again, do some task and then repeat...

Or, if a diagnostic light pinged on the dashboard, the driver could ask the assistant whether it needed immediate attentionIf you need to ask the car if the warning light is important, you're whole UI is broken.
Assuming you have an error code, isn't that a simple database query to look up what it means? Why complicate it with "AI"?

Re: "Why did it never get easy to subscribe to things in RSS"
And in at least some browsers (I'm thinking it was Internet Explorer of all things that I remember), you could click on the RSS feed link and IE would ask if you wanted to subscribe right there
In Vivaldi you get the RSS icon in the address bar when there's a feed available. You couldn't make it much simpler.

Re: Not being paid to think
It was made very clear to us[0] that you'd only get a 2:2 (ie 50%) if you just regurgitated what the lecturers told you. I did an Erasmus year and it was a shock to see that in France you're marked on how much you recall.
