LOL..... I remember typing in games and programs from magazines. At that time I did not have a tape drive even (I was using a Atari-400) I was SO excited when I was able to save up and buy the tape drive and could save my work. That was I guess early 80s since I was still in high school and had to sneak in early to use the apple II's in the special ed classrooms. :) Still coding today (right now actually) Great talk....thanks for this!

I disagree with his views on EU regulation. I know that we hate those cookie notices yes, but we do care about our privacy. I've been able to browse without getting bombarded with ads from other websites I just visited. And some of the better websites have stopped using nasty cookie tracking and removed their banners. You can also use extensions to get rid of the banners. I think the iPhone with USB C is a triumph of EU regulation. And I think if the EU steps up with the right to repair, there's a big chance we will get better devices.
Do you suggest using an extension that has access to all the pages you visit in the same statement as "we do care about our privacy"? Also, having good examples of websites that stopped using nasty tracking, do you have examples of the opposite? "User agreed to everything (because he was annoyed and got used to clicking "ACCEPT" on all those banners as he has no idea what to do with that anyway, and what all that means) so we will pwn him to the full". Previously one could've just use private browsing mode by default and all the cookies are reset and forgotten once you've closed the window, but now you would have to click all those banners again and again. Maybe I am missing something but you statement doesn't seem to represent the whole picture. So I agree with Thomas that the regulations are probably well-intended but not well-executed. As for the USB C - I agree, though.
This was a great conversation!
