Comment on What do you think of framework and their methods?
frezik@midwest.social 9 months agoI feel like the modem held on in laptops far too long. By the Windows 95 era, most modems were just weird sound cards that put most of the work onto the CPU to convert the data into sounds. They were dirt cheap, so laptop manufacturers could keep them there for the hell of it.

Oh god I forgot those existed. They were always terrible, even for modem technology. I remember having to help my mom’s friend with her Emachine with one of those and the drivers were a trainwreck.
