Whenever I feel like ignoring a new technology, I think of my late father-in-law. He worked at Bell Frickin' Labs in the 19-frickin'-80s, and he had never used Unix.
Sure, he avoided a lot of dead end over-hyped tech, but he missed a big one.

First output of bochs running the Sun 386i firmware version 4.5 ("20: CPU Board failed. _" is printed in a loop)... nothing is emulated so far except a regular 386 PC, this is simply capturing the byte written by the code to the UART address 0xfc00000c.
Oh, and I hope the "FU" is not meant personally... 😂

I do legitimately think that this is just peak computer UX. It is information dense, but still kind of playful.
I'm sure real #ux experts would have a different opinion, but I really enjoy this aesthetic and functionality.

Got reminded about this as I use it to work around issues of a customer having decided to hide the "wifi connection" dialog on the login screen but demanding that you connect to their VPN before logg-in to windows.
(And for some reason also having broken the auto-reconnect of the wifi, probably a GPO thing even though it surfaced after the last round of updates...)
@agowa338 @JenMsft #2 is extra annoying and propably wasted MILLIONS of #TechSupport #PersonnelHours because on #Unix-esque systems that shit doesn't really happen, but on #Windows this is a known wrongness since at least #WindowsNT 3.51…
The majesty of 4dwm.

Now we're getting to the good part of #irix
After the just unacceptably and inexplicably bad install process.
