The number of transistors in the original ARM1 chip is small enough that you can simulate the chip in your browser and see the individual transistors operating as it executes instructions. Try it out! http://www.visual6502.org/sim/varm/armgl.html

This probably isn't for everyone but I purge everything older than 7 years, and I've stopped using labels altogether. It's either in my inbox, or archived and I search for it. Actually I do still have one label, for @idpro_org.

At this point my main use of labels is the auto labeling rules I set up so that my inbox is color coded based on the project

@aaronpk ah yes, before the Year of the Linux Desktop and the broadly liberating force of Bitcoin took hold. I’m just glad we now live in the distributed digital utopia we were promised.

@aaronpk I have carefully downloaded folders and removed them from my SMTP server at this age. Turns out I have never searched such backups. Not even once. So deletion sounds like the way to go.

yeah exactly, my reason for keeping them is that I might want to be able to search them later. I'd say I've found value in some ~5 year old search results, but stuff from before 2010 is from a whole different world at this point.

Hypothetically, if you wanted to keep them but didn’t want them cluttering your primary Gmail you could dump them into a new Gmail account.

That's something I hadn't considered... like forwarding them all? Or is there some way to move them between accounts that I don't know.

at what point do the emails and gmail labels from jobs and projects 10+ years ago stop being relevant and should I delete them?

No live show this week, sorry… too much going on. Hopefully I’ll do one next week and the plan (fingers crossed) is to do it with the @YoloLivTech YoloBox Pro

oh darn I was looking forward to that one!

I mean I assume pro stands for "Getting paid to use this" 🤣

I thought "pro" was short for "prosumer" -- a professional consumer

I'm seeing a lot of weird push back on folks buying the new MacBooks.

Businesses need tools right?

I assume you dont run up to your mechanic and berate them for buying an expensive lift when you take your car in for service?

Apple sells them as lifestyle purchases, so I think what people are actually upset about is that someone else gets to buy that lifestyle that isn't them.

I can’t get over the fact that the U.S. Congress is so dysfunctional when it comes to passing laws that Visa and MasterCard are the de facto regulators of the internet porn industry.
